Money maker?

My sister has a real business head on her shoulders

She worked in Sydney Australia for ten years as a project manager

So she is very computer literate 

She thinks logically 

And is the designated technical support person in our house

I swear we would be lost without her

And were while she was away

She is home over a year now

And she took the first year to find her feet here

And to look after her mental health

She is now doing well

She has come off her meds 

And feels able to look for work now 

So she has moved 6 hours away

To stay with her partner 

While she looks for work

As there is just no work here for her

Or for anyone for that matter 

For a while now 

My sister has been telling me 

That I should try and make some money from my blog 

And that it's a valid way to make an income 

I guess my blog is like a job in a lot of ways 

I do it at the same time every day 

I put a lot of work and energy in to it

And I pour my heart and soul in to it

For a long time 

It really didn't matter to me whether my blog made money or not 

It wasn't about money 

And it's still not about money

But I can't lie 

It would be amazing if I could earn some sort of living out of writing my blog

I've seen blogs with advertisements 

And I'm not sure I want to go that route 

Especially not if its some thing to do with weigh loss or anything like that

That goes against everything my blog stands for 

And I don't want the tone and flow of the blog to be tarnished with ads 

My sister also thinks I should make my blog in to an E-Book

Again

I don't know quite how that works 

But I am definitely interested 

I mean 

Yes 

I can write 

But all the other stuff 

Like logistics and computers 

I'm not so good at 

I guess these days 

There are more and more ways to make money on line

You have Youtubers 

And people who write books

Self publish books 

And if there was a way to make money from my blog 

Apart from advertisements 

I would definitely do it 

I haven't worked in quite a while 

My last job was teaching dance to kids 

It was something that I set up myself 

And went on to have four classes a week 

I've had many jobs since leaving school

Everything from working in a factory 

To being a teller in a bank 

I'm really not good in those type of jobs though 

And I think I do better in a more creative type of post 

Or working with animals 

Which I am so passionate about 

My blog is something that I love to do 

Even if I never made a penny out of it 

I would still do it 

It means more to me than money ever could 

Making money from it would be a bonus 

With all that said 

I was wondering about you 

Have you ever thought about making money from your blog? 

Would you put ads on your blog? 

Have you ever thought about publishing an E-Book?

Inquiring minds want to know.....
