One of the big challenges in running a newsblog is income. To be frank, if I don't figure out a way to eat while doing what I love, I will have to get a real life job and devote less time to informing you schmucks about what's going on in the world today.
A couple months back I made the misstep of attempting to make money by using Infolinks as revenue-generating ads. I've made only $1.50 from it and gotten a bunch of grief from readers for them.
FINE! They go! I hate them anyway, they make my classy news source look like a tawdry gossip rag (which it basically is, I'll admit). I'm keeping the Amazon Associate ads, which I insert by choice whenever I feel that they are appropriate to the article I post. If you ever think you like the product I showcase, (for instance, see left) then please feel free to purchase it through my blog. I get a cut and hopefully get to eat. This way, we get to avoid me prostituting myself by putting a "donate here!!!!" PayPal link.
think of all the rice you could buy with $1.50! :)
