New Affiliates and sponsors

Hi all! Last week I talked about Monetizing my blog more. I've tried a few new affiliates this week. Some I'm not impressed with others I'm quite excited about.

The two I'm most excited about are:




It's a community for Coupon users! I've found so many amazing deals. Plus I like that I can search for current coupons on products I use. Check it out! There affiliate programs is easy. You start out with $3.00 just for signing up. I've only had it a week but I make .03 cents per click. I make more here a day than my blog right now ....LOL!

The next Affiliate for me just got approved today and I'm super excited about because I like the site and I've been a follower and a customer. So I'm happy to advertise for them.



Hopefully I'll have an update about how this affiliate works for me soon! If you are a crafter of any sort this is a site for you! You may even what to publish some of your tutorial or patterns via "You Can Make This .com :)

The other Affiliates I've tried are

Sponsored Tweets :     
I'm not really thrilled with the advertisements. I've gotten a few $1-$2 ads to share but there not getting clicks and I can't say I'd click them either. I don't really want people to think I'm spamming on twitter either. I'll keep it but I'm only going to share things I would want to tweet myself. 


My Likes

This pretty much like sponsored tweets only with more relevant ad. I like it better than sponsored tweets and have made a few $$$ from it but as with the other unless I really believe in the ad myself I don't want to spam these sites out.

I hope some of you bloggers can find this information useful.

Have any of you tried other means of Monetizing? What do you think of these sites? I'd love some feedback!


On a separate note I'm looking for unique bloggers and shops that might be interested in our site sponsoring a giveaway or me even a simple shout out/review for your blog or shop. It can be about a business, a tutorial or pattern. I've got a few neat giveaways in store in the coming months but I'd like to add on more. Please see our Advertising page and contact me using the contact tab if interested! I look forward to hearing from you and supporting your endeavors as well.

Learning to Monetize?!?

I've slacked off in my blogging the past few weeks but life has been crazy busy in a good way though! I came across a great resource for monetizing my blog. What's Is Monetizing? Well it's making money with ads on your blog :)

I've had my blog for a year and it was never my intention to make money blogging. I'm a terrible writer and I don't want to share the same reviews and coupons as every other "review" blog out there. I just want to talk about family, life and business and share a few fun things along the way.

I've honestly only made $25.00 so far with my blog using bloggers built in feature of Google Adsense. It's really easy to set up. I don't have a huge fan base and like I said I don't want a bunch of flashy advertisements from random Affiliates.

I came across a great resource for those of you looking into other ways to Monetize. I figure the more I use the faster it will add up but we'll see :)

On Simply Stacie's blog she has a whole section dedicated how to Monetize and some great resources. She' tells you how much she's made and received. Check it out here.

I've already signed up with We Use Coupons . I've heard great things about there program and in the short day iv'e had it I've already made a few dollars.

I also signed up for Sponsored Tweets but I don't know if I like it. I don't twitter to much but I don't want people to think I'm spamming either.

I'm hoping to look into more and I'll let you know what I come up with.
