Today I stumbled upon a great picture that summarizes the dream of making money from your blog. Making money from blogging is possible but it isn't easy or instant . Enjoy the cartoon .
Dream of blogging and the reality ( click to enlarge )
Great cartoon. I have not monetized my site heavily, I only use a bit of Adsense. I only did this 2 or 3 months ago so my earnings have not even reached Google's minimum for payout. I would be the wrong person to answer the question.
I have seeing your Adsense ads Lyndi , but I think since you are in to Wordpress development you can do very well with selling Wordpress themes , since you have some great themes of your own you might consider selling them , having tried out few themes I know for sure that your themes are better or at least good as those 47$ ones , Maybe you believe in the spirit of giving :)
Let's be sociable, come on, you know you want to. I appreciate the support.
