Blogging for Dollars?

by Jacqueline D'Elia on July 25, 2009

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about creating a personal garden blog. One that would be more personal without a lot of ads, etc. I’ve always enjoyed reading Pam Penick’s Digging Blog. She has done a fantastic job on the site, and does not have any advertising on it whatsoever. I think that is what makes her blog so special and such a draw to visitors. It is clean and simple with outstanding photography and content.

Yet, there are other blogs that I enjoy reading that do have advertising. Take GardenRant or GardenGirlTV. Both are exceptional sites with ads on them.

To understand how best to manage a blog with advertising, I just ordered ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income. Look for some feedback next month. I find the problogger site to be very helpful. I subscribe to the RSS feed.

Thanks for the kind shout-out, Jacqueline. And by the way, it was such a treat to meet you recently at your store. Thanks for showing us around!
