And about getting paid… unless you understand that blogs don’t make money, but rather the businesses behind them, you’ll be forced to rely on 3 of the worst performing monetization channels available (ads, affiliate marketing, and sponsored content.)

Before I go much further, I must share with you my dilemma. As a student, we were required to create digital portfolios and blogs of our work. At the time, I used the Penn State blog as my platform. This worked out great when I was a student and employee of Penn State, but now that I have moved on I had to move my lovely portfolio as well. This process didn’t go so well and I wound up with fragmented bits and pieces of my work scattered about the internet.
