Hi friends! This post is a little different than all of my other posts. Basically, it’s a personal note directed at all of you who follow me, and hopefully those who will follow me in the future.
As most of you already know, I’m currently in the learning and growing stages of becoming a full-fledged homesteader. I’ve mentioned a few times, how I eventually would love for my ‘job’ to simply be a homesteader. But for that to happen, I need to find and create new streams of income that won’t involve the typical nine to five.
Hence, this post.
It’s just a little bit of a heads-up to those who regularly read my posts (And THANK YOU, by the way!). You might start seeing a few ads on my posts in the near future. I’m in the process of pro-and-con-ing through lists of ways to create income from blogging.
I want to say sorry now if this irritates or frustrates anyone, and I sincerely hope it won’t stop you from visiting!! I’ll be testing the e-waters as to what works for me, and what doesn’t.
My traffic isn’t high enough to make any sort of significant difference in my bank account at the moment, but I’m hoping that in the next few years, this might change.
I would love your feedback on this, as well as your opinion on posts that do have ads or affiliate links. I’m hoping to get started with a few in the next week or so!
Thoughts???

Sounds good. ^_^ WordPress (.com) blogs are allowed to do certain things like amazon affiliate links as long as the products match the blog’s content, but if you want to do ads and other affiliate programs you might want to consider getting a .org blog (where you have total freedom) because WordPress (.com) has specific rules about monetizing. 🙂

Thanks Valerie, I’ll definitely have to look at all the rules 🙂

It wouldn’t bother us in the least. We completely understand because we are in the same boat. Maria and I have our Etsy shop to generate some income for our farm and because we love making things. It can be a fine line between being informative and looking like a salesman. I think you’ll b fine and good luck to you.

I will still read too, hope it works for you, I looked at a .com before I found WordPress and if I am not mistaken you could earn $’s by the number of “clicks” on adds, not if we buy anything. If you do this I will click your adds if that helps!
