...a professional writer? My blog has adverts on it and I've just made my first p. One whole pence. £0.01 in cash.

I'm hoping to have made another p by Christmas.

Hahaha that's great
But you aren't being paid to write you're being paid to advertise (sorry to pop your bubble)

TiggyD · 24/09/2013 12:02

Does that mean I'm in advertising? Where's the cocaine and the Porsches?!

I still think it counts because I'm making money from something I've written, albeit not directly.

You is just jealous of my p.

Awwww, p.

TiggyD · 24/09/2013 12:07

Oh bugger. I've just noticed that it's only an estimated p. It's not a finalised p yet.

The total could go down slightly. Sad

You won't go very far if you don't blag about your blog in here. Grin

Corvuscorax · 24/09/2013 12:13

YANBU! Grin May the p's come rolling in!

TiggyD · 24/09/2013 12:21

I can't blag about my blog in here. It's not allowed. It has to keep a low PROFILE.

Give us the link and we might be able to bump you up to 5p.

Although, you might go crazy with the new found power and abandon your life for a world of hedonism and debauchery.

Morally, it would be wrong for us, the collective, to allow you to take such a self destructive path.

Best not tell us the link.

Beastofburden · 24/09/2013 14:24

yay I know have read a post from a professional writer on the interweb. so I am now officially a cultured and creative person. Thank you OP.

You wouldn't be able to be in the writing Olympics now. You ARE a professional because you have been paid.

DontPanicMrMannering · 24/09/2013 14:28

Congrats.

What site do we join to earn our penny?!

OHforDUCKScake · 24/09/2013 14:34

Whats the blog??

TheBigJessie · 24/09/2013 14:34

I don't blog for two reasons:

  1. I don't have anything to say,
  2. there's too much choice in host sites.
DontPanicMrMannering · 24/09/2013 14:37

SecretWitch · 24/09/2013 14:52
