[...] I don’t plan to take advertising off this site, because I’m a firm believer in bloggers’ right to monetize their blog, I do take issue with such blatant attempt at taking advantage of people’s most basic fears [...]

@ W: One of Leo’s problems is indeed not being upfront about it. I think he has since learned his lesson though.

I know this post is old but I wanted to have my say. I don’t mind Leo leveraging his popularity to make money. It does bother me that he’s lying about it. He didn’t bother mentioning in his post that he is getting a commission from the book sales. He made it sound like he just liked it and was recommending it for that reason. That’s dishonest. Considering Leo is someone who talks A LOT about honesty this was extremely hypocritical of him, in my opinion.

[...] Making money or wanting to make money from your blog is your prerogative. Get over the “good girl” mentality and be proud of your talent, of your networking abilities, of the wonderful, thriving business that you have started from scratch and are building with your own hands. I enjoyed reading another prominent mommy blogger – Don Mills Diva’s – recent post “Show Me The Money”. Don Mills Diva does NOT apologize for aspiring to make money from her blog. I couldn’t agree with her more. [...]

I absolutely agree – when bloggers are investing so much of their time, they have every right to get something in return.

@ Tina: Thank you.
“Let those people scream and shout, lots of people are just out seeking conflicts.” – I think this is very true. And the same people would get all mad and offended, no matter what you do.

@ Don Mills Diva: “I work very hard on it and I believe I am a good writer. WHy shouldn’t I be paid?” EXACTLY. Blogging is hard work (even if fulfilling and satisfying). No one wants to – or should – work for free.

I agree with you. I make no bones about wantint to make money from my blog. I work very hard on it and I believe I am a good writer. WHy shouldn’t I be paid? Do lifestyle reporters at newspapers work for free? As long as a blogger is producing good content no one shoudl care if they are compensated…
