Comments on: Starting a Craft Blog: WhipUp Article http://thelumpysweater.wordpress.com/2008/04/08/starting-a-craft-blog-whipup-article/ Genuine snarks, educates, and generally sasses off the craft world--and knits lumpy sweaters.

I am using no methods for generating income from outside sources (yet) by using adwords, etc. My first objective of each of my blogs is to establish credibility, meet other crafters, and promote my website. The one I am having the most fun with is my Crafter BS blog. I get to vent, crab, complain, to hoot, holler, and howl. I think I have developed a good following for the short time I have been doing it. Come check out my blogs if you have a few spare minutes. http://CrafterBS.blogspot.com/ and http://www.angelsbytheresa.blogspot.com/ Blogging is as addicting as my craft.

Commission Junction is big. You show ads that relate to your craft (if they have some advertisers for your craft). Also you could even make some cash by showing Ebay ads on your site. If someone clicked a listing on your site and than bought the item you make some cash. Same thing for Amazon and books. You can easily make sure only auctions or books related to your craft show up on your blog. Bottom line with a well established, decent traffic craft blog you could make some money every month. If you want more information post another comment and I'll reply with some more info. With a craft blog you likely could make some cash from certain affiliate programs. Commission Junction is big.

With pictures of my crafts, materials and methods used, discoveries, etc. I would love to also be able to do some commission work on the cards and knitting projects I do. the main thing holding me back from even posting these things with regularity on my blog is a computer with VERY slow internet that makes pictures next to impossible to edit and load in a timely manner. but i will check out the article! thanks!
