Last year I had a huge dream! I wanted to make blogging a career so I started exploring options. Well, 90% of the options I got were affiliate marketing and I did not want to get into that. I had classes and work and family going on so I wanted the easiest option that would not add to my burdens.
The first thing I did was to upgrade my WordPress account (Yeah, I’m not doing that anymore haha). Not that it’s bad, but a friend of mine told me that it’s better to get some good following first. Otherwise, you would need a good plan on how to maximize the upgrade. A very good plan.
At that time, my views had already doubled up and I was more inspired than ever. I did the next foolish thing, I enabled WordAds! Those adverts didn’t disturb me at all. In fact, blogging was too normal for an upgraded plan. The issue was, you. After a while, I was worried for my readers. The feedback explained more than a nightmare.
You might be probably laughing at my ignorance right now but please hold, I have not yet told you the peak of it. One day, I went to check my earnings, then closed the page, then waited for the next month. I won’t talk much, I am a poet anyway. Let me share a screenshot so that you know how much I was worth.

Oh Dear Mariana
It’s True All This Free
Creative Space That
WordPress Provides
To Its Free Users is in
Part Paid By All the ‘Serial
Likers and Followers’ With
Dreams of Making Money
Of ‘AddSense’ and ‘WordAds’
Schemes as a Couple of my FRiEnDS
Did the Nitty Gritty Research and Found
Ya Need About 800,000 Views and 400,000
Clicks Just to Break Even on the 300 Dollar
Annual Fee of A Business Plan That i Do Use
Yet only For the Unlimited
Storage Space they
‘Grandfathered’
me Into
As Yes my Website
is Well Above the Current
200 GB Max Space That
Is Offered Fortunately Again
No Limit in my Case At Least
And Yes Ya Have to Generate
At Least 100 Dollars Revenue to Get
Paid Which Means the Majority of the
Money Just Goes Back to the Business
of Word Press And Such As Rarely Does
Anyone Achieve
Anywhere
Close to
800,000
Views
A Year and
400,000 Clicks
or So on Advertisements
to Make Three Times that
Much to Break Even on A Business Plan…
My God, People Waste So Much Time Clicking Follows
And Likes on Stuff They Never Read Developing
So Many Schemes Themselves Vapid, Shallow
And Empty of Real Meaning and Purpose Now
Just to make
Money indeed
SMiLes i Didn’t Even
Attempt Any Creativity
Until Fully Re-Tried
And Financially
Independent
It Wasn’t Really
A Choice Just A Reality
of the 365-7-24-60-60 Grind
As A Slave to the Cog of the
Machine that is Capitalism
The All Mighty Dollar God So
Empty And Green in the USA at Least
And i Do Understand How Desperate Folks
Are in Impoverished Countries to Find A Way
Out of Poverty in those places Yet It’s True What
Use is it to
Waste Valuable
Energy That Could
Otherwise Be Used at
Least For Creativity in
Art to Strengthen Warmth
of Human Connections that
At Essence is the Key to Human
Happiness…
FOR
REAL
FOR REAL
FOR REAL FOR REAL…
Happy Not to be Part of
that Other God Now For Real…
Hope You Escape one Day too For Real…
