I know you've been blogging a while already, but hopefully there was some useful tips for you too :) I've actually already made a little bit money from affiliate links, and have had some offers for other stuff too. Blogging would be a great sideline to have, so maybe I will get my house in order after Christmas, and actually do something about it. Just seems like there is loads to do first in terms of dealing with taxes and all, yawn...

I could see you modelling some yoga / sports clothes ala HonestMummy and the bag company (Nova Harley I think it was) :)<br /><br />That is a good tip btw, definitely works in business too - negotiate your work and project contribution towards the clients budget, not the other way around.

Doesn't offer the same cut-through though, which is maybe why you rarely see big brands, and expensive items in review-focused blogs.

OK, fair enough, currently I only really spend £15/year on the vanity URL, but then there are the added non-essential expenses like conferences, camera, camera wear and tear, equipment etc... <br /><br />But then again, having blogging as a hobby is not that bad - lots of people spend a lot of time and money on their hobbies (I used to do scuba diving - talk about a hobby being expensive and time-consuming!).
