I know I’m selling out, but it’s not that horrible I promise. After reading
Rod Templeton and seeing
John Chow and his bagillion-dollar ad revenues one too many times on
The Lab I finally decided to start ramping up the
monetization of the site. Yes, “monetize” is not my favourite word either but it’s about time I started doing a little more. If I can promote local business and get a little something out of the deal (after doing it for free all these years) I’m going to give it a whirl.
Fewer gaudy Google Ads and links to sites and places people actually might visit in Vancouver? That’s the idea.
The first ever paid advertisement, that isn’t a Google Ad, is for Money Coach. I have also included the Rio but that’s in exchange for some screenings that have been offered to me through my blog.
I’ve profiled Nancy Zimmerman before, during my Blogathon, and when she heard me entertaining the idea of ads on my site a little while ago, she stepped up and offered her services. Ironically enough, Nancy’s specialty is helping people manage their money. She offers consultations, advice and programs to help people gain more control in their lives… instead of having it run by financial burden.
