Blogging and Lawn Care

Normal 0

Well you guys- I just got it.  A sign.  A GIGANTIC, HUGE, PIE-IN-THE-SKY sign about where this blog is supposed to go.  Well, not exactly where the content is going (I’m sure it’ll still be a blog about nothing), but where it’s going on the web.

Recently, I wrote the HR.com producer and asked that my blog get yanked for a while.  As you know, I took a long break because I wasn’t sure where I was going; plus I wanted to fill that odd “hole” that had dug its way in my life.  But then I wrote back and said, “Well, let’s give it a week and see if I still feel the same way.”  So we did and I decided to stay on.  But then, last week, a friend suggested I blog on other sites--- sites that pay.  We also discussed other ways to make money writing or editing- even though the conversation was never really about the money. 

Yesterday, a fellow HR.com blogger sent me an email out of the blue about one of the sites he blogs on (for which he gets paid).  Interesting, I thought, and thanked him for the info.  Well, tonight on the news, a VB woman was featured.  She pays her bills blogging on a site called “Blogher.”

Okay, do I really need the money that bad?  Well, the short answer is…. YES.  Have you seen my lawn???  I simply can’t justify paying a lawn service all that money every month to do something I can do myself; but obviously I can’t do it myself and I’ve had five years to try.  I figure, if I can make $65-70 a month doing something I do anyway- blogging, I can have a guilt-free, beautiful lawn!  One will never know if one doesn’t try, after all.  So that’s probably what I’m going to do- so when I suddenly disappear from HR.com, look me up on the web- I’ll probably be on another site (hopefully) earning my grass-seed and fertilizer!
