I once said I’d never do it but if you look over in the sidebar you’ll find an ad for Bluehost.com. Worse, an animated ad.

The fact is that as a freelancer I need to make money however I can and the payoff affiliate funds I get are nothing to sneeze about.

The important part though is that I’m very pleased with the service. It’s less than ½ of what I was paying previously with all of the services I need and the ability to do what I want. Security settings were a problem with my previous host and it’s refreshing to know I’ll be able to use all of the services from social media on my own site. It’s also a relief to not wonder when I’m going to get hacked the next time. To be fair, that could be a function of moving to smaller host but it’s still one less worry.

To sum up, yes I sold out.

But I did it out of true love as well as necessity and isn’t that the best you can realistically hope for? You can be sure any ads that might creep in here will be for services I’ve actually used and enjoyed.

At least until they offer me more money
