An old classmate of mine, whom I recently reconnected with thanks to Facebook, asked me how I get advertisers to advertise on my blogs. I don’t know how she found out that I make an income from blogging but found out she did and she is thinking of doing the same. Well, she is an architect and I don’t think she needs to waste time on blogs. After all, blogs are like bad girlfriends who need constant attention!
I told her that I have tried many programmes and the one that I would recommend her is Google AdSense. Although I am not using it on my blog, the reason I recommended it to her is that it is a large company with solid track record.
Of course, I didn’t tell her that there have been complaints from publishers who suddenly found their accounts locked when they were close to payment threshold but I did let her know that it is against the terms of the programme to click on her own advertisements or ask friends to do so.
My friend has no definite plans on starting her blogging project yet but I do not relish the thought of starting a new blog from scratch. It is a long and lonely process!
