Re:

Dear Trew Life,

I want to make money from my blog and I haven't been havn the best of luck with it. The reason why im writing you is because this is causing some serious problems with me and my boyfriend. We been living together for about 6 months and I lost my job. I want to just blog full-time, and i think he is mad at me because I wont get a job and bills are due. We've been struggling for a few months now, and I'd like to know what I should do.

Dear Kee-Kee,

The first thing I must tell you is: GET A JOB! I know you don't want to hear that but I must blurt it out to you.

It takes time before you start receiving tons of traffic to your blog or website. It's not an easy thing to wait on. And you'll be slitting your wrists once the bills are behind, you boyfriend is steaming, and you can't do anything but blog about it.

example:

"Dear Blogophere,

My relationship is shattered. I'm in debt to my forehead, but HEY, I'm bloggin' full-time now!"

My blog might not be as popular as Darren Rowse's (www.problogger.net), or as complex as Steve Pavlina's website (www.stevepavlina.com), but I do know that it will take some time. It took me almost two years to start seeing traffic at one of my blogs. I then changed the website that hosts my blog and had to start fresh.

I can relate to you, because I'm generating more traffic as well, and from the things I've learned, I was able to generate more traffic quicker, but it still is going to take some time.

Try signing up at websites like:

• Technorati



• Digg



• My Blog Log



• Writingup

These are just a few I've named. There are all types of ways to generate more traffic to your blog. One big way is by visiting other's blogs. Enjoy reading as much as you enjoy making money, and you'll see some change.

As far as your boyfriend goes, I can understand why he's mad at you, and he has a reason to be. About a year ago, I did the same thing you're doing now. It almost caused my girlfriend and I to break up. We were kicked out of our home and I had to... Wait... Say it with me... "GET A JOB!"
