Stormy makes a lot of sense.

I would think if you have a "family friendly blog" that, yes, being sponsored by a sex toy site may upset the more prudish subscribers. I haven't seen your blog, personally, but something about blogs that talk about sex toys and also have pics of people's kids and family on them strike me as being unworkable. (Again, I have no idea if this is what your blog is about.)

I know many people who blog and few, if any of them make even enough to keep their blog on the net. Unless what they are doing is ground breaking and very unusual and riveting, I think making money this way (more than just the occasional influx of pocket money) is fairly difficult. You have to remember that there are nearly as many blogs out there as there are people on the net. Without lots of networking and a fresh and unusual approach that will bring people in, riveting subject matter, knowing your audience and doing what they want to see and read, plus being high on search engine cues, I think it's virtually impossible to make much money from blogging.

Good luck.

I really didn't want to have to separate the two, however I did realize something that one of my friends had said.
It made a lot of sense.

He said' Well if I want to go to see deals and print coupons, I want to see deals and coupons, not sex blogging stuff and romantic giveaways".

OK, so I get that. Its frustrating but I totally get that. Im the same way. If I follow a blogger BECAUSE they have coupons and deals, if they start writing about....gaming, Id be turned off and probably not visit at much.


So,I devised a plan to sort this mess out and make EVERYONE happy. INcluding me.

I have decided to make a whole new google account and do a totally different blog WITH my couponing blog.

Ill still keep up the deals and coupons, but I really have quite a bit of expertise and knowledge within the "sexual'sensual" realm and I really want to inform and educate others with all that i know. And of course, I really want to do giveaways and reviews for EF items that I own, since I own so many.

So, I will be doing both, just separating them. This way I can have my widgets and what not posted on that other blog too and gain a whole different "group" of folks that are there to actually read my stuff and not just like my blog and follow my blog to get free stuff. I hate that about my couponing blog. when I ask for input, no one is there to talk to me or input anything. They just wait for the free junk and don't comment or do anything. At least with my other blog, maybe JUST maybe Ill get some sort of feedback.

No, my blog is not on tumblr. I don't use the site, nor do I understand it lol.

True adriana, but most of my sponsors (my friends) won't go along with being sponsors for my site (so I would be promoting their items/businesses) because Im affiliated with EF. So they don't want any trace of an affiliation with a site that is with EF sadly .

Yeah, I cracked under pressure. I HATE being such a tool and going the route of others.....Its just so not me. I feel like I have to change who I am and what Im about to do this....but, if my friend is goin to be co-owner of this site with me, I can't make her look bad to future employers either. I guess its just one of those things that I have to sacrifice so that we can go into this "business' together. I really need the help with that site, and she is awesome. So....Ill just have two

See that is craziness lol. I can't believe some folks actually GAINED more readers. Then again, my blog is couponing/deals and giveaways....plus its advertised as a family friendly blog. So I can kinda see where a majority of my "crowd" may not appreciate the ocassional sex toy reference. I dunno, it just shocks me that my one friend would say "Well, Im looking for a different demographic than your followers...I want "mommies" more so".

All I could think to myself was "Does the fact that I enjoy sex with my husband and continually improving our relationship any less of a MOM!?" Blah lol
