I have issues with money and always have. To attempt to sum it up, it seems that I alternate between feeling undeserving of earning even enough money to get by, and feeling resentful that I probably have sold myself short and will continue to do so because I can’t seem to get over the shame of wanting to earn money. Without revealing much detail I will just say that my feelings on this stem from my household growing up and have been a huge part of every decision I’ve made along the path to where I am now.
And where am I now? I’ve been a stay-at-home-mom for over 5 years, since my second daughter was born. I always planned to go back to social work full time once my youngest child started Kindergarten, and I’m now just under 2 years away from that point. So like I’m really awesome at doing to myself, I’ve put the pressure on – make money blogging – as much as you could potentially (minus child care) if you went back to work (at least part time!) before the sun sets on the third day the little guy starts Kindergarten – and you’ll be a human blogger permanently. (It just really reminded me of Ursula in The Little Mermaid.)
To challenge these feelings I’ve turned some of my thoughts inside out to examine as usual:
Why is there shame in wanting to earn money to begin with?
I have always wanted to help people. I was a child who was so sensitive to the feelings of others that I knew I wanted to make my life about helping people. I don’t think there was a point in time that I imagined life any other way. Doctor, psychologist, and finally social worker were the professions I contemplated. Interesting that I wound up with the one with the least earning potential. No coincidence there, I always put pressure on myself to give a lot and felt guilty taking.
But is there any actual moral value in this approach? Or is it arrogance in disguise?
I am actually starting to believe that this thinking is a type of “starving artist arrogance” of the “woe is me” persuasion where someone feels that they are more “special” than other people because they take less. As if I’m somehow better than someone who puts emphasis on earning money. This IS arrogance when you look at it this way, and, inevitably, it’s not sustainable, as I’ve found.
What the heck is it about blogging that people think is easy?
Moving on to the idea of bloggers wanting to earn money. A couple of stereotypes come to mind off the top of my head: A stay-at-home-mom who thinks her life is just SO awesome/blessed/unique that she should not only write about it and show pictures to share the awesomeness BUT she should also get paid for documenting this awesome/unique life. Or maybe a lazy, overindulged 20-something who doesn’t want a “real” job because they’re too “good” for said job and instead want to take the “easy” way out by making money as a blogger. Lazy, spoiled, arrogant and wanting life to be easy. Because blogging is easy, right? What the heck. Blogging is seriously not easy at all. And I love writing – always have and always will – and I have also worked full time as a social worker in a psychiatric hospital and SOMETIMES (not always of course) blogging stresses me out more than that. And at this point, I’ve not made any actual money blogging (yet! hopefully…) but I feel passionate that I want to make this work out somehow.
I think you can sell stuff you’ve created and still be an okay person. Maybe even a good person. So please, let’s get rid of the stereotype of the lazy blogger who wants to get rich quick or whatever and needs to be constantly validated. It’s a projection like a lot of things, plus times have changed and I believe there are more people now like me who are looking to approach it as a part of a business/career.
My thoughts when I started my blog.
I started my blog 6 months ago and had no idea where I was headed. I’ve loved writing since the age of 5 when I started writing songs. I began keeping a journal at the age of 9 and consistently wrote nearly daily for about 15 years, right up until the birth of my first daughter. These journals consisted of thoughts, stories, poetry, songs, anything and everything to clarify the jumbled chaos in my head. I took several creative writing courses and loved every second of each one.
After having my daughter I wrote much less. I was lonely and writing made me feel even lonelier because no one else read it and it seemed to just confirm my isolation. In the years since becoming a mom, I went through a few phases where I wrote more but I just didn’t have time, energy, and there was no payoff anymore for me. But, while I ran I would “write” in my head and that became my outlet where I seemed to accomplish my goals for creative expression and fitness together. It got to the point where I knew that writing about running was something I really, really wanted to do.
Being super un-tech savvy though the idea of starting a blog didn’t even cross my mind, until I discovered a few running and health blogs I loved and realized it could be a way for me to get back into writing. So my one goal upon creating this blog was to write what was in my head and my heart just as I’d done for years in my journal. Except now, I wanted people to read it because I was ready to take the chance that maybe my writing could somehow help someone else work out their own thoughts, feelings, health issues, etc.
My evolving views over the past 6 months.
Being pretty slow with social media and the internet I’ve been blown away by how many people have read my blog and how much feedback I’ve received. It’s strange to me that I can help people through doing things I love – running, exploring nutrition and cooking, and writing. Basically all of what I’m doing now is unpaid (yes I know I have potentially distracting ads up on my site now and I still need to figure out what’s right for my site in terms of ads) and I’m putting a ton of time into writing, answering comments and emails and I’m truly loving the process of it.
BUT I do feel the pressure of not wanting, but NEEDING to make money to contribute to my family’s income. I was not a stay-at-home mom because I didn’t need to work, I made that choice because my husband and I felt it was best for our children. But the time is coming for me to jump back into building a career, and I cannot let shame influence my decisions.
I 100% want to produce meaningful content (maybe not every day, but overall) and I want readers to understand that while I am trying to turn this into a profession, at my core I value my writing and the connections I’ve made with readers and other bloggers. Behind any post I publish, you are getting the real me, my voice, the one I was afraid to let anyone hear before I began. I hope to encourage you to share yours with me and others as well!
What are your thoughts on blogging as a profession? Is there a stigma attached to it or am I being really sensitive? Do you think it’s possible to turn a passion into a career?
You have proved yourself to be an intelligent, witty, savy, sweet-hearted individual and your loveliness is enhanced by your kind, caring and warm manner. Your blog is chock full of interesting, thought-provoking, funny, timely information about running, health and life itself. Of course a blog is a business. advertisers help to advance the content, the credibility, the readership base, and allow the blogger to build a business that takes hours and hours per week of dedication, devotion and TIME!!! Build your business the way you see fit and don’t question yourself. You are a smart woman and your blog growth proves that. You have a service-product in your blog people want. Go for it and don’t ever listen to naysayers. You will always find negative people. Don’t let them derail your drive and energy. Negativity and lack of confidence is the root of failure. Go for it Michele. Build your business from the ground up. You are onto something. People want what you have to offer. Get advertisers to support you and review their products. Your loyal readers will support you and cheer you on. Wishing you continued success, happiness and contentment. Enjoy your accomplishments. Only you can.
Thanks for such a thoughtful response to this, and all the encouragement. I am always battling my own self criticism and I’m not quite comfortable yet with the idea of being a target of negativity, but you’re right in that I won’t be successful if I hold onto that fear! Thank you for your confidence in me!
I think that whatever direction you want to take your blog, you should do so wholeheartedly. You have proven that you have a unique, valid view point, that you have not only the content but the intelligence, and you also have the business savvy. I considered using my blog as the jumping off point for my business a few months back, but then things changed, and I’m not sure where I am headed with it now. But I totally respect your decision because you are completely honest about it. I would be really turned off if you changed courses in the middle!
I’m glad you think I have the business savvy because this is where I feel I lack the most, just having no experience! I really appreciate all your positive feedback and I’m really glad we connected! I agree that when someone changes course in the middle with no explanation it can be a real turnoff. I really want to balance my honesty without coming off as complaining/ungrateful/whiny!
It takes so much to make one blogging so if you can, you deserve it!! You’ve worked hard. In all honesty, one day I plan on doing the same. I feel like I’m in the same boat you are. I was a paralegal but the amount I spent in daycare and the time away just wasn’t worth it. I ended up getting a part time nights and weekends job to make ends meet so u can stay home but once all my kids are in school, nights and weekends will be the only time I get to see them.
So I say keep your eye on your blogging goals and don’t listen to any of the negative blogging talk.
Glad you can relate! Adding in the factor of being a parent makes this whole thing tricky doesn’t it? I can imagine there are many others in spots like ours. Thanks for the reminder not to listen to negative talk, I probably take it a bit too seriously still, probably out of self-doubt. This is a whole new world to me that I’m navigating through right now.
I think it is awesome! I’ve learned that we have to do what we love or else it’s just not worth doing. You go girl!
I’m really starting to agree! Thanks for the feedback!
Should you feel ashamed? Absolutely not!
Not of any of it – not of choosing to stay home (my wife and I chose the same and she definitely shares some of your feelings), not about how hard it is blogging, and not about wanting to turn something you do well into a revenue source. Here are a few thoughts:
– ‘Hobby-blogging’ – that is what I do, and as a result I never monetize my videos, my streams, or anything else. I write what I want, and when I wanted to step back I did so without any feelings of concern. Some bloggers are hobbyists, others are looking to go someplace with it. The important thing? Realize which works for you and stick with it!
– ‘This crap takes time’ – I love writing, love sharing, love blogging … but WOW does it take time. I have LOVED how stepping back has allowed me to dig back into a number of other things. But for you, at this point in your life with your goals .. it is hard work. My one bit of advice? Don’t let that shine through in your blog! If you whine about blogging while simultaneously trying to make money off of visitors? Express route to losing readers and gaining hate-reads.
– ‘Monetizing your friends’ – I am going to be honest here … iiif I didn’t really like you and enjoy your blog I would be gone by now. Your emails give the Mailbox app on iOS and Android fits (only blog I have these issues with), and the heavy ad load makes reading on the iPad a pain, and also makes commenting extra difficult (if you scroll the text box stops accepting input). In other words, all of this ‘revenue collection’ comes at a price.
– ‘You’re Worth It’ – here is the thing … I don’t read most of the ‘big’ running / healthy living blogs, because they feel generic and forced/ contrived. YOU are genuine, and that is HARD .. but it makes it worth reading every post, even when I don’t comment as much anymore.
– ‘Branding’ – you already know this, but you have found yourself perfectly positioned for ‘fad diet branding’ – I mean, look at the GMA piece. All I can say is ‘brand, baby, brand’! Running blogs are doing well, Paleo is hot right now … and in a couple of years Paleo will be th next ‘used to be hot’ and who knows where running blogs will be in terms of popularity. In other words – you are uniquely positioned (proximity to NYC doesn’t hurt), so GO FOR IT!
Yes to your second dash! It is bothersome to me (as a non-blogger reading blogs) when bloggers complain about the time it takes and hinting that they are not sure “this is for them”. Then I think “why the heck am I reading”? So I stop. You are right about it being a major turn-off.
Oh gosh I really hope I’m not annoying like this! After this post I’m done 🙂
Oh no- I don’t think you do this at all! Did not think of you at all when writing that. Really.
And to completely overuse my reply quota. I don’t think it is any different complaining about blogging vs. complaining about blogging – since for you they may be the same thing. In general, I don’t like it when people complain about their jobs. For one, it’s not called “what does Amanda want to do today?” It’s a job after all 🙂 And two, if you don’t like the job then look for something else rather than moaning. It’s good to vent every once in a while as long as there is motion towards a remedy. Okay, I’m done now. 🙂
We must think alike. Or in general, I have a pet peeve with complaining about life decisions, including when I do this! I’ll make fun of myself for this often.
Haha thanks 🙂
Took the words out of my mouth Michael!
A perfectly well thought out mini blog post right?
Thanks, as always, for an incredibly well thought out and intelligent comment – appreciate it big time! I’m surprised that the emails are a problem because I open my emails on my phone and it’s fine? I really wish I were more tech-y to deal with some of these issues and unfortunately my husband knows even less than me! So that issue will have to be on hold for now..
I totally agree about not letting people see my struggle with blogging, which is why I haven’t written about it much until this week, and I struggle with finding a balance between being open and honest and revealing too much. I guess that is one of the big questions always with blogging.
Okay all in all I’m glad you think I have potential and I appreciate your honesty with me since the beginning! Thanks for the encouragement 🙂
There is a difference in expressing a struggle – which is what you did really well with this post – and being a pro blogger who is pulling in free races, ‘job’ levels of money and free publicity … and then whining about how HARD it all is … which, by the way, is VERY different then whining about weather, long runs, or the other stuff …
It gets to the ‘tone’ thing that Hollie mentioned.
You have gotten where you have gotten as quickly as you have for a reason: you and your voice. I knew quickly that I liked you and your blog – and also that there were things we disagreed on … because of how you were very willing to put yourself out there. You give and receive criticism openly and warmly, and you are never afraid (well, I know you are inside, but …) to learn or acknowledge stuff you don’t know.
Okay, yeah, I get what you’re saying! I don’t read a lot of big running bloggers, maybe just one really, so I haven’t seen this a ton but I have seen people complain about this. So I will happily complain about the humidity as long as I can be creative and find new ways to do it. And you are right that in real life I suck at being wrong and not knowing stuff 🙂
Yes, I meant exactly what Michael said. For some reason your “complaining” does not come across that way. It doesn’t annoy me in the least because most often I’m thinking the same thing. And of course I’m not going to be annoyed with myself (ha! just kidding. I annoy myself all the time).
Haha! I annoy myself quite a bit 🙂
I think it is awesome and totally appreciate the amount of work behind it. However,I contemplated putting it on my professional resume since I have been job searching and have received some comments I never thought it would. I had no idea out in the worl that people do not appreciate it or see it as a “real” job. It is a ton of work! It is still a “newer” profession that most people dont understand.
It is surely a lot of work! Being that I’m so new with it I still relate to an outsiders perspective who can’t see what’s really involved, so I get it. I guess it doesn’t help that some bigger bloggers can feel silly and forced sometimes. I don’t want a blog like that, but I can’t help but think that there’s a reason people go that way.
I say go for it if it’s a passion and a way to make some change. No, it’s not easy, but what I’ve found is that blogging can be the pathway to so many opportunities, many of which never occurred to me when I started. And absolutely no shame involved–many bloggers do make money from their sites (most not a ton), so join the party!
Yes, I think I need to get over the shame thing if I want to really get serious. It’s definitely hard work! I had no idea what blogging could potentially lead to when I started, and I’m still really just figuring a lot of it out. Appreciate your feedback, and I love your blog!
I”m with amanda. If it’s your passion, go for it! i do it to support my husband. and it’s a passion. 6 years! It can be hard to balance but i think you are wonderful at finding balance. <3
Thanks! With 6 years experience you are a big inspiration for me 🙂 Very glad we connected!
I can definitely relate to our your feelings about making money. For some reason I always expected to find myself in a low paying profession. Looking back that makes no sense! But I think I always saw myself working with kids doing something like teaching/counseling which is what I ended up doing and the truth is those types of jobs require a masters degree and you don’t end up making much/able to progress a whole lot. I feel very lucky that I have found something I love to do and can still be in a financially comfortable (enough) place for now. That being said, it has definitely crossed my mind that it would be so great to make some extra income from blogging and coaching. It is just so time consuming! I feel like I would need to take time off my regular job just to get things up and running! So at this point I’ve realized its not worth putting TOO much effort into making money because likely the benefit would not outweigh the cost. For now I will keep doing what I can because I enjoy it, hopefully pick up some coaching clients for the spring season, and if something falls into my lap that would be amazing but also totally unexpected:)
However, I think that it sounds like you are in an ideal place to pursue great things! Not to say that it is any easier, but by being at home at least you have some flexibility with being able to work on blogging stuff. You also have this perfect balance of running/nutritional information with unique recipes that can definitely get the attention is deserves!
I’m sure you will figure out the best plan for you. But don’t think you don’t deserve to make money for your hard work because you definitely do!
First, so glad we connected online because sometimes I’m amazed by how we think similarly with so many things! And I agree that the blogging/coaching is SO much more time consuming and complicated than I anticipated. I would not be able to do it if I worked in a job outside my house. I’m constantly sneaking in computer time when my kids are playing, at school, or otherwise occupied. Thanks for the encouragement, I need to get over the whole shame in making money thing.
I think bloggers do tend to be a bit sensitive about this. From a reader’s point of view, if you’re producing good, quality content, that’s all that matters. To be quite honest, I’d put up with a lot of ads or whatever to read something that I feel really applies to me. I found your blog through Hungry Runner Girl, and your voice really appealed to me – specifically your honesty, transparency and inspiration for healthy living. I think you’re doing a great job and wish you well as you determine future steps.
Thank you so much and I’m really glad you’re enjoying my blog! Hungry Runner Girl is awesome and the first blog I ever read. I think the sensitivity probably comes from how exposed I feel online and not being comfortable with criticism yet. I have to get over it and just do what makes the most sense for me.
Short answer is no, you should not at all be ashamed for wanting to make money blogging. I think it is amazing that you have found a passion for this and recognize the power it holds for your life and helping people. I am not sure how to go about this exactly but am excited to see what’s to come for you!
Thanks 🙂 Maybe silly but it’s nice to hear from people that there’s no need for shame. And I really don’t know how to go about it entirely either so I anticipate a lot of work ahead!
Another great post, Michele. When I get into work each morning (office job which I happen to love), I read 2 blog posts (can you guess which other running blog? 🙂 ). It’s a great way to start my day and I really look forward to it. Since you contribute happiness and thought-provoking topics, I absolutely think you should earn money for it. It obviously take a lot of work to put the posts together. My job is hard but I don’t have any notions that blogging (while taking care of an entire family) is easy by any means. JUST taking care of kids is a job so add blogging to that and I can’t imagine. So even though I don’t blog I don’t think bloggers have it any easier than I do.
Having money has always been very important to me. I know some people put very little emphasis on it and definitely look down on others who desire money. But what can I say? I don’t expect things to be given to me – I’m willing to work for them. What bothers me is when people WANT money/accolades/results but aren’t willing to put in the effort. That certainly isn’t the impression I get from you at all. We seem to be similar in the “go getter” attitude.
I do think it’s possible to make a living out of your passion. There are so many examples out there – no reason why you can’t be one of them.
Good luck!
I am seriously really glad you are enjoying my blog! When I put a post out there I’m really not sure how people will respond or how much they’ll understand or relate, so it’s nice to hear you feel it’s adding to your day.
I am definitely taking your feedback and everyone else’s to heart and I really appreciate it. As for the other running blog? I’m going to guess hungry runner girl because she’s the first I read!
yes, hrg. there are others that i read and enjoy but when there is a time limit (and mostly there is) i get to at least your two blogs.
I don’t think there’s any real stigma against making money through blogging…unless you’re reading GOMI 😉
I don’t think blogging is easy, but I do believe that blogging WELL is very rare. The trouble is that so many people are susceptible to eschewing content and character in favour of endless linkups, sponsored posts and making money in general. Far too many bloggers (mostly from my country/the UK, I’m ashamed to say) completely neglect the basic rules of grammar and punctuation as well. Heck, the ones making the most money don’t even seem to be able to spell. Lazy blogging and lack of proofreading lead to a general impression of paid bloggers as lax, self-indulgent people who can’t deal with real life. That doesn’t make it true of everyone though.
You’re more tech-savvy than I am! I would love to have a viable source of income from blogging, essentially because I adore writing and I need to be able to work from home, but I have no idea how to handle self-hosting, let alone ads and design. I can’t afford to pay anyone to tell me how to do these things, and although there’s a lot of basic info out there with regard to blogging, there seems to be precious little about the really important details.
Um yeah I should probably stop reading GOMI because it can really make a person’s head spin to read nothing but negativity 🙂 I agree that blogging generic posts day after day probably isn’t terribly difficult, but blogging well with meaning and substance in the posts is tough.
And believe me, I am really not tech savvy! I can use google and basically looked up instructions on the internet how to start a blog and went with the first thing that seemed reasonable. I agree though that the info on details is lacking and there’s no way I’m paying anyone to do anything for me right now!
I think there is nothing wrong with blogging to make money. It’s when you change your general tone and attitude that makes me caution for it. You have a great blog and I don’t see any reason not to take it to the next level.
I know what you’re saying about “changing tone” and I really want to avoid that and stay true to myself, otherwise I really don’t think I’d find enjoyment in it. I guess I’m hoping I won’t find I have to change in order to pursue blogging professionally. Thanks for the feedback Hollie! I love how genuine you are in your blog and it has been an influence for me 🙂
So true – Hollie can write about how she has nothing to write about and I am totally there for it 🙂
It is by no means an easy way to generate income from blogging, but if anyone deserves a profitably blog, it is you. You have knack for writing, enjoyable, witty and insightful content.
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoy reading. And no, not easy at all and I am kind of a sucker for big challenges 🙂
Unfortunately, I do think that there’s a stigma attached to making a living as a blogger but so what? If you enjoy and are genuinely passionate about your work nothing should stop or persuade you to do otherwise
I’m totally working on the “so what” part 🙂 I have to be okay with people not liking me! Thanks for your thoughts and encouragement.
Absolutely not! You should not feel ashamed for having a dream or desire. Never, ever. Anything and everything is always possible. If you’ve learned anything from running, I’m sure it must have been that you are always capable and deserving of more than you realize. Follow your heart.
Thanks for your kind words and encouragement! I love your perspective!
So many thoughts, I don’t know where to begin!!
Your blog and writing is fantastic. You have a way of making each of us feel as if you are talking directly to us and that you have a personal connection with us – that’s a pretty tricky thing to do!
Also, I believe that there are so many “hobbies” than can turn into professions, including blogging. I think that so many moms are looking for a way to bring in income and work from home, and there is nothing wrong with striving towards that!! My goal is to do the same, although not by writing a blog, I definitely don’t have that bug, or the writing skills!
I have a good friend that is turning her passion and career in the fitness & weight loss industry into a small empire starting with a blog. I don’t think of her as lazy or self indulgent – I know she is working incredibly hard trying to generate a real income by doing something she loves. And that is brave!!
So keep at it Michelle!! We all love reading whatever thoughts are rattling through your brain 🙂
First, thanks so much for always adding such genuine and thoughtful comments. I really appreciate them and I also feel that those types of comments help me give that back in my posts! Also, thanks for the encouragement. Hearing other people’s perspectives on this definitely helps me form my own thoughts on it and I really appreciate it. So glad you’re enjoying my blog and yes, I’m here to stay!
I do think there’s a slight stigma associated with blogging as a career, but I also think that most of that comes from the fact that blogging is such a new thing and most people simply don’t understand all the work that goes into it. If it’s something you’re passionate about, though, then I would consider it a crime -not- to pursue it. Heck, I took a huge leap of faith last year and left a career in the field of psychology to move into holistic nutrition, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Blogging has become part of that career for me, and it’s also a pretty amazing platform for limitless opportunities.
If you ever wanna chat about this sort of thing, don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I know it can be a little bit overwhelming.
Those are definitely my thoughts on it, considering 6 months ago I really had no clue about blogging. And thanks for the offer to chat! I have been thinking about you lately because your blog has been an inspiration for me (plus I still can’t get over how gorgeous every photo you take is!) I am impressed at how you make what you do both look professional and serious yet somehow fun and effortless all at once! Thanks for your feedback on this – it is very much appreciated!
I just ran across your blog and love it. I see no shame at all if you want to make money off your blog. I am new to blogging myself so this topic might be something I come across later down the road. Love what you do…and if it means blogging then why not make it a career? I know others do.
Love that perspective on it! Really happy you found my blog and are enjoying it. Thanks!
I think you come off as extremely genuine, warm and funny. I ALSO would love to someday be able to monetize my blog….When I someday become a stay at home mom-I would lke the blog to ha ve taken off BIG TIME and be able to help me contribute towards my familys income. There is no shame in it, at all! 🙂
Thanks, and love that perspective and now after all the comments I feel like I agree! Of course we both know it’s a ton of work but also a lot of fun. It’s exciting to think about the possibilities!
I think that is absolutely reasonable and a great aspiration to want to turn blogging into a job. As a new-ish blogger myself, I realize there is a lot that goes into composing the post, replying, social media, etc. I think you should go for it. I really hope to do this one myself too. It is a tough goal, but I will work for it. Glad I stumbled upon your blog and can’t wait to read more.
Thanks! I’m definitely shifting perspective after hearing what everyone had to say. Not going to feel bad if I can earn some money working hard doing something really rewarding. Glad you found me!
I randomly stumbled across this post, and I love it! It resonated with me for several reasons. 1) I wrote a post along these same lines a couple of weeks ago; 2) I’m also a social worker turned SAHM turned blogger; and 3) I got called out today on Twitter for a sponsored tweet (not by name but it was obviously about me) and it really hurt my feelings. I feel like there’s this great divide between “hobby bloggers” and “monetized bloggers,” and I really just don’t know what to make of it all. I DO know that I love writing, I love blogging, and I’m much, much happier doing this than I ever was practicing full-time social work. So I don’t know. I’ll have to read through your newer posts to see if/how your thoughts on the subject have changed. Anyway, it’s nice to “meet” you – great post! 🙂
what’s the difference between making money from a blog or from writing a book?
good point 🙂
Have you ever thought about expanding your horizons? Ever thought about a paid column or what a book might look like? I have a couple of no-ad blogs, and neither gets your readership. You have a built-in audience. Do you have a YouTube presence? I can think of a couple of people who have turned their passion into a career, Kristin Armstrong and Carrie Tollefson come to mind. Maybe you’ve already looked into all this. But on the spectrum of running-exercise bloggers, I suspect your readership is larger than most. My gut is like yours, with money-making angst getting in the way of business decisions. You only get one go-through on this life thing. Might be worth looking into if you haven’t already.
Ok, I’ll butt out now.
: )
These are great things to think about – some are already on my mind – thanks for the input and suggestions, I definitely appreciate it 🙂
If there is such an opportunity, then I would only welcome this type of earnings. Moreover, you do not have to spend a lot of time and money on education or countless attempts to find a job using https://resumewriterreview.net/all-reviews/topresume-com-review/
