Not so much the posting but the visiting and commenting part. Soon I will be posting less days which means I can spread out my time more. And I plan to take a break from the blogfests, which add followers, but at a tremendous cost of time.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-33774703161687146952010-09-23T19:08:38.933-07:002010-09-23T19:08:38.933-07:00Hi Arlee,

You are right about AdSense. It picks up key words and puts up ads according to what your words are.

I still work a full-time job outside the home, so my advice is to build your online platform as much as you can BEFORE that first contract. <br /><br />I just had to leave a critique group that I couldn't keep up with anymore and I'm in the process of setting up beta test readers as a result. I now have endorsement requests from other published authors. <br /><br />I have to keep juggling and re-prioritizing things as I travel on this journey. <br /><br />Blessings,Jennifer Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360330085131177132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-38517272188591547922010-09-23T12:50:08.083-07:002010-09-23T12:50:08.083-07:00Great read....

Also, because I liked that particular blog bit I posted - "#1 Rule Of Selfhood". It's a rule most people still don't live by (including some persons in my own family). <br /><br />And I didn't remember that I was your first "Follower". It's good to be the ki-- ...it's good to be number one! <br />;o)<br /><br />I have never seriously considered adding the AdSense because I'm afraid of which products would be advertised on my blogs. I don't think the blogger has any say-so, and what if some product I am morally opposed to gets pasted on my blog? Or what if I mention, say, diarrhea in a humorous blog bit (as I did once) and so I wind up with anti-diarrheal caplets advertised on my blog?<br /><br />Nah, not for me. I prefer to maintain ad-free and award-free blogs. <br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />Proud 2 B r-LEE-b's #1 Fall O'ErStephen T.

I know that your readers have to click on adds in order for you to get some money. I have a few friends who have adds on their sites and they say they earn a certain amount of money from it. I've still haven't taken that step because I can't seem to find the time, but sooner or later it will happen on HOLLYWOOD SPY as well. <br /><br />Looking forward to hearing more about your novel.
