Re: An Actual Closet Redo (Finally)

I think we bought something similar to this, which is like $330: http://www.lowes.com/pd_339...|1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FgoToProdList%3Dtrue%26Ns%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo= And then I found the baskets on sale at Target for $7 a piece and I think I bought 10 or so.

Sorry about your funk! As you've discovered, though, the nice thing about funks is that they sometimes encourage writing. :) Also, my tree is still up, too. I took the wreath off the door so the neighbors wouldn't judge me, but it's still sitting on my coffee table.

And of course I would never say "get over it" to someone who's dealing with harassment. Totally different topic!

Re: Sometimes I Get Stuff Right

Sonja — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:39:24 -0000

I should have added what products I used to the post! I actually used Bare Minerals Warmth for the contouring. It looks scary, but it goes on pretty light. For the highlighting, I used a combination of Bare Minerals Finishing Veil (which didn't work super well) and then I actually used an ELF white eyeliner pencil and blended it for some of the highlights, like on my nose and forehead and above my lip. But that's just because that's what was in my make-up drawer. I think yellow concealer would have looked weird on me, too, but the stuff I already had I knew was right for my skin tone, so I just used that.

Re: How do you make money on a blog?

Sonja — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 21:59:39 -0000

Most ads are based on how many "impressions" you get (which is basically how many times anybody loads your page), so the more traffic, the more impressions, the more money. Just putting up the ad doesn't do much good if you don't get eyeballs on it.

Some other ad networks and affiliate programs work on commission, so you can do it that way, too. It just depends.

And as far as what constitutes a little or a lot, I'm not telling how much I make. ;) The best thing you can do is stick an Adsense unit up in your sidebar and let it run for a while, and see what kind of money you make from that. That will give you a baseline to start making decisions. Adsense doesn't pay out as much as some ad networks, but it's easy and anyone can get one.

Aw, thanks, Kate! Yeah, I get a lot of traffic on Pintester.com, which helps, but like I said to Deborah, everyone can make a little!

You do need some traffic to make significant money, but you can make a little money with a little traffic. :)

Ha! Well I really do hope you like them. :) And, yes, do start with the first one in the series. #1 and #2 are both really good. #3 is meh, but it's still ok-ish.

Maybe pitch it in the ocean? Seems fitting.

I wasn't sulking, Heather, don't worry! I just thought it was interesting the different receptions I got at both places. I fully realize that screwing stuff up for fun is not everyone's cup o' tea. ;)
