Do Not Become A Sellout

Far too many bloggers are becoming sellouts. Chances are you have seen one of those blogs. You know, the type of blog that has ads plastered all over and they do whatever they can to make money even if it means interfering with their design.

The vast majority of people do not care if you make money from your blog, as long as your money-making schemes don’t interfere with the functionality of your blog.

You should always remember, readers are more important than money. They always have been, and they always will be. If you find that you are forgetting this simple rule then perhaps it is time to take a break from blogging, or to end your career all together.

A lot of bloggers forget that rule, and they let their greed get the best of them. First it starts with some complaints from your readers, and the next thing you know your back to getting 15 hits a day.

Those who become greedy become needy.
