CBS and PR

Cebu Bloggers Society (CBS)

Last Saturday, Aimee and I attended a CBS meeting for the first time! Nyahahaha! It would not have been my first time (considering only my free times) if… just read the paragraph before the second to the last pic of this post. Hihihihi. Anyway, since it was our first meet with them, tahimik lang kami ni Aimee. Absolutely not us! Bwahahahaha! Next time guys, expect some more noise from us! The group had a lot to talk about. One of the things that excited (and excites) me much is the upcoming CBS camp-out! Waaahhh! I hope it’ll push through! I already told my mom about it and she didn’t have any objections. Or is it because I didn’t allow one? Mahahahaha! Excited nga. The rest of the interesting topics, just ask the VP’s. Nyahehehehe.

This is the only decent picture I had taken during the meeting. Nahiya akong magpalabas ng cam ‘coz the talk was serious-ish. Hihihi.

But it was fun! The pipz were cool and easy to get along with. I’m so excited with the group! Yay!

By the way, if you’re a Cebuano/Cebuana blogger, come and join the group! Hehehe.

So Confused

Hope you could read about my april blues. If you already did, then you know how badly I need money right now. In connection to that, there’s this one thing that’s confusing me at this time. It’s about monetizing this site…

If you’re a close friend of mine, you’d know how I really don’t want my personal sites to be “tainted” with advertisements. Before, since Animik was my personal blog, I didn’t want it to bear advertisements. But ever since I had iFancy.Me and it became my personal blog, I’ve been using Animik to make money online. The downside is that Animik’s traffic had gone down already since I focused more on iFancy.Me, so I haven’t had many sponsored tasks to do. Now, iFancy.Me’s PR and traffic (Alexa rank) have increased just when I needed money the most. See the connection? High PR and traffic = more opportunities.

That’s why I’m so confused right now, and I need your opinions to help me with this one. I know the final decision is still mine to make. But I still want to know what you’ve got to say about this one.

Here are some of the options I’m thinking about right now:

Monetize iFancy.Me! But it would defeat my no-advertisements-for-personal-sites principle.
Initiate a temporary blog leave at iFancy.Me and focus more on Animik. Unfortunately, I don’t want to leave iFancy.Me naman! And even if I do leave iFancy.Me temporarily, Animik’s traffic won’t increase unless people would cooperate.
Stay as is. Still blog in iFancy.Me and Animik. Divide attention. But nothing’s gonna happen. Grrr.
