As I was “blog hopping” today, I came upon a work at home mom blog. (to protect the innocent, we’ll call her blogger girl) ”Blogger Girl” had an informative and interesting blog, in fact, I added it to my favorites.  “Blogger Girl” also had a tab at the top of her blog (like the ones you see at the top of mine), her tab said “Sites I Own”. 

If so, you should seriously consider monetizing it to earn a few dollars.  I’ve recently signed up for blogvertise.  Blogvertise is a pay to post company, meaning they will pay you to blog about certain topics. Payout for blogvertise is between $4-$25 per entry. 

The good news is that while a lot of pay to post companies require that blogs be at least three months old, blogvertise will accept new blogs on a probationary basis.

My brother comes every year from Minnesota to spend the holidays with us and participate in the Black Friday Madness.
