Why I went back to paid blogging

As I believe I've said before, I dont really enjoy blogging. I hate the knowing that there is a space out there waiting for me to fill. And I'm not the best off the cuff writer either. So blogging can be stressful for me. But in 2007, I made $500 doing so for only approximately 7 months. I therefore made on average, $71/month blogging during the time I was doing paid blogging. And for about 2 months of that, I was very very slack. I was doing it to supplement my sad income in South Africa. And with the exchange rate, it was an awesome supplement (thats an extra R300-R400/month which in real terms is a week of groceries).

But I had to stop because I didn't own the rights to the url and when we broke up, he got the url in the settlement (he also got the desk, chair, place mats, linen, and storage shelves - I got my life back. Fair trade I think). So I stopped. And when i moved to Edmonton, I figured while I didn't need the money as badly as I did then, it would be nice to make some extra cash for approximately 1 hour of work a month (really, it is only an hour for me, but some hard core people who make more, might work 2 hours).

So I'm back at the paid blogging game. And its a great way to get paid for blogging.

This is a paid post.
