Making money via blogging

I don't think my blog will ever be popular in the blogosphere. However, if it should ever come to be, I will never pass the cost of reading/maintaining my blog to my readers.

Why is this? Because there are people with blogs and video blogs who make money via advertisements. Companies are willing to pay for space on blogs!

One blogger is requiring readers to purchase a subscription for $20 per month to read her blog. You can get a whole year's subscription for a whopping $200! I'm all for getting paid for knowledge and advice on a subject, however, I believe she could make more money by soliciting companies to buy space on her blog.

For example, lg15.com earns 10K a month from advertisements! I read this in a tech/gadget magazine. So if they can make that much money on a 3-minute video blog a month, this blogger can certainly garnish a nice chunk of change from the hot-button topics on her blog.

My Curly Hair

I really like my hair like this. I really do. But there are things that come along with wearing my hair like this that I don't like.

For example, I had to load my hair with a lot of goo to get it to look like this. I used products from the Curls hair product line. I think they are great but I don't like having to wash my hands three times just to get the leave in conditioners off my fingers.

The other thing I don't like I how much hair comes out in the shower as I'm combing out my hair with the conditioner. I also don't like the hair that ends up around my sink and floor after I'm done with the grooming process.

Third, it's Fall and soon the cold of Winter will approach the Antelope Valley and I can't go about walking outside with a wet head. So, if I wanted to wear my hair like this in the coldest months of the year, I would have to style it at night. The only problem with this is my hair will lose its shape and I will end up looking like I'm wearing a curly 'fro wig which is fine on the weekends but not the look I want for my job. Urgh!!!

And Matthew McConaughey is dating some Brazilian chick and I'm majorly pissed off about it!!!!

Sisterlocks

I've been contemplating chopping of all my hair because I'm tired of the hassel of blowdrying and straightening with flat irons.

I did a search for natural hairstyles and came across Sisterlocks.com.

I was skeptical at first because many of the pictures of women wearing Sisterlocks were rather middle aged (not that there's anything against that) and I wanted to see pics of women closer to my age.

I think Sisterlocks are beautiful and they seem very versatile. I'm not sure if this is the route I want to go. I guess I need to actually meet some folks with Sisterlocks to see if this is the journey I want to take.
