I've never considered what blogging would be like if I earned a little money on the side while doing it. Sure, many other bloggers have, and good on them, blogging can be costly, especially if you're not like me who doesn't spend anything on blogging, and is content with blogging on Blogger, alas, I've never looked at blogging and thought about money.
The idea of creating revenue through Nellie and Co. has not been something I've considered lightly during recent events, and while I do offer sponsored posts depending on the topic, actually going as far as having advertisements is something I've never wanted, nor considered. The subject itself - of advertising through Nellie and Co. - was brought up recently at an Interview Techniques Workshop I attended through a company I'm working with in order to find full-time employment, as a result of mentioning how proud I was to have been blogging for as long as I have, proud of actually being a blogger, and how I like to bring it up at interviews. Eventually, the topic found it's way to my statistics and followers I have that make use of Nellie and Co. and it's resources, haven't I considered advertising on it. The truth is, I don't want to.
The billion dollar question it would seem. Why am I so content with making what could be referred to as a loss with Nellie and Co.? Why am I not interested in during my hobby into a business? Why do I waste skills and talent on something that doesn't have a reward at the end?
Nellie and Co. has never been just a blogging and self-help resource; I'm still an avid reader which shows through my book reviews, and I'm a hobbiest blog designer which is evident through my design and blog tutorials, but my true love, the thing I love most to do is teach others. Even as a young girl, I had a dream to teach, and yet, now, as an adult, I can see and appreciate that teaching doesn't have to take place in a school environment. I know that my advice, my tips and help and guidance have helped other bloggers achieve great things. I know that my joy of teaching and sharing skills with others has benefited so many other people.
I share my skills and experience not for profit, but for the joy it brings me. I could start advertising on Nellie and Co. and many of you probably wouldn't mind, nor care all that much, but I would. I care about Nellie and co.'s style and aesthetics, I care about how you view Nellie and what you expect from me in terms of quality content, being truthful, and never letting the pound signs make decisions for me. Maybe I am making a mistake not advertising. Maybe I should be thinking with my empty wallet and not on how every comment, every visitor,, every piece of support and guidance I get makes my day just that little brighter, reminding me that my reward is in the people I've helped, the people I've taught, the people who have achieved thanks to me.
Going to that Interview Techniques Meeting made me see that the reasons I blog and still love it today just as much as I did last month, or last is because I make a difference, no matter small that difference is, and I could not be prouder and happier to do so. I blog for free and provide my content for free, without the use of advertisements, because I love to do so, and I wouldn't change that for the world. it's truly as simple as that.

"What about your reward? For all your hard work?"

Teaching others how to be their best self is my reward

Do you, or would you, use advertisements on your blog?
