… which means we should celebrate!!!

Well, not quite yet, so hold your guns and bottles.. Just wanted to oil my rusty gears again with this post… I finally get my first fully paid advertisement on my new domain! AdultLearn is an online education provider for their client educational sites. This came via my earlier blog post on Victoria Junior College here . Amazing, ain’t it?

With this, I have diversified my blog’s revenue model and certainly goes some way to paying my hosting fees. Who says blogging doesn’t pay? I don’t even have to rely on ethically dubiously practices like Pay-per-Post. I am also consciously shying away from using Google Adsense which often serves up irrelevant ads especially for a blog like mine. At least Adultlearn provides a more contextually relevant ad placement. If you are keen to blog for money, USA Today has some pointers.

Having said that, I am trying to think of creative ways to make my ads more engaging and relevant, a challenge since I dun want static display ads with no relevance to your reading experience. Anyone has bright ideas?
