A few years ago, I decided to try to write a blog about being a parent in hopes that it would generate some advertising income for us. So, I wrote a few posts and shared them with my writer’s club. Deborah Carrol, a writer with several books on Amazon whose work has also appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Huffington Post, reacted with cautionary enthusiasm.
You could pull off a daddy blog, she said, and I’m paraphrasing here, but to monetize it, you’ll have to be as crass and vulgar as possible, and you’ll have to share so much personal information that your family will hate you: here are some examples.
I decided that I liked my family more than writing.
Now that our daughter is in school, I have a bit more time for special projects like catching up my blog after a five-year lapse, but I am not very sociable so I may not stick with it for very long.
Best regards,
Chris
