i am in a particular dilemma. i am thinking of making money out of my website. the thing is, i am not sure which site i will use for this new…shall i say goal i am trying to put my hands on. is it the spiCes food+style page that i have established for almost 3 years now, or this newborn pinoymommy journal that is only a week old?
you see, the designer in me softly whispers to me that i want to maintain that clean minimalist look of spiCes. i am a bit afraid that advertisements and links would ruin that sense one way or the other. it has been more of a photography blog of my kitchen adventures recently and i am thinking putting up ads would not be as appropriate.
but the major factor for which i think that site is a better option and way beyond more chances to make money is that it has been up and running for a longer time…much more longer time at that.
in comparison to this one which is like a new place yet to be explored in which i intend to put in anything and everything under the sun, but mostly my life in Massachusetts as a stay-at-home mom/wife, be it cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes, photography, design, sewing, crafts, shopping, loving, being loved, joys and pains, tv shows, fab finds…you name it. this being, would be more like a variety show compared to just watching a teleserye, listening to the news rather than a song!
i would also love to brag about my latest creations whether its a logo, a banner, my new-found way of expressing the artist in me…digital scrapbooking or a new throw pillow cover that i have sewn.
the idea of making some income out of blogging just hit me recently when a friend told me about it. i have started doing surveys online so might as well do this thing since i am a certified laptop-lover/i-phone i-tapper spending a majority of my time in front, under, over these electronic buddies every single day! morning, lunchtime, in the school waiting for my kids, dinnertime even in the wee hours at night! that there are times i feel guilty about since i get that nagging thought telling me i should be doing more productive chores instead of just tapping away, just like right this very minute!
but then again, it has been a way of life for me ever since i started. a perennial stream that just wont stop flowing. it is a part of me. and i just can’t ignore it.
anyway, back to my deliberation…i have just added adsense into my spiCes website, and if i get approved then i think that would be it! does that mean i would also be doing random posts in it? oh! as they say, i’ll cross the bridge when the bridge is in sight! happy thursday to all!
