I NEED MONEY!!!

Just do it!

Hell to the NO WTF! I was being snarky.

My point is that I don't think that a reader of a blog should be bashed over the head to donate to a site to begin with. You viewers come to these sites to learn or be entertained. I do this work because I was guided and want to do it. Don't get me wrong here.... If I could find a way to make some income from blogging I would do it.:)

Lets take Bradley Loves for an example. He just months ago opens a site up and immediately starts pandering for money. He can't find work. He needs 2000.00 a month to keep himself going. And he gets it! At least he actually puts out some of his own articles. But his ego has somehow led him to believe that he is the only truth bringer in the blogosphere and therefore deserves more of your cash.

Now lets look at Rayelan & Rumor Mill News, a reblog site, which in my opinion is a jumble of ads and visually a zero. She has been around for 20 years she says. As if that in some way entitles her to your money. Her personal life seems to be a hot mess. She makes real bad choices that somehow she has convinced herself that her readers should pay for. I have never seen more ads on a site than hers. When you are on RMN for more than a few minutes your computer is loaded with adware. So why am I supposed to donate to that? Why does she feel that her readers should pay for her to get her house painted or to eradicate her mouse problem in her home??? Or to pay for her to move because she makes bad choices in roommates? Maybe I just don't understand.....

I wanted to add a few points for clarity after I have been thinking on this for a few hours.

I suppose one would have to consider why a person creates a website or forum to begin with. What was their motivation? Do they offer a good or service other than info that you find valuable? In this age of instant information why should one pay to get that when it is readily available for free?

I started blogging 5 years ago because I enjoyed it and still do. To me it is important to have a virtual library for this very important new age of info sharing. You can go back and see where the growth and change has happened. The balance between the Light and the Dark is tipping and we are recording it in these virtual time capsules. I am just grateful that you members and guests feel that what is offered here is worth your time. To me that is payment enough.

I am still working on that tops!  

I tried a crowd source type funding here for the CBD patients but even though some showed interest no one actually followed through. Which is why I am questioning these people that say that they receive so much per month in donations. Does not seem to add up. 

What's that all about?
