A few months ago when I started this blog, it was primarily for the purpose of connecting with other fellow immigrants and writing about my thoughts on this topic. The goal was to bring like-minded immigrants together and hopefully create a resource that we could all use and to voice our opinions against the the issues in today’s legal immigration system in the US. Well, those goals still remain our primary focus. But a friend asked me a very good question recently - “So what happens when you get your immigration petitions approved- is that the end of your blog?”. I, of course, to sound like I’ve already thought this through, answered “Of course not, I am always going to be interested in legal immigration issues and will continue to write about it”. Well, how much I’ll write is the question..

Money is an amazing thing. Whether you like money because it lets you buy stuff or whether you go for it because it’s usually the best way to gauge success, everyone (well, almost, I am not talking about saints sitting at Himalayas meditating all day) needs money. I need it too. After some thought, I decided to give advertising a try at the blog to get some income from this initiative. Perhaps that will help keep my motivation going to write about immigration issues. I do spend several hours every week on this blog and it can get difficult at times, with a full time job, a part-time business, and a family, to find time for such endaevors. That’s when money helps. So the next time my wife says “so you’re blogging again!!!?”. I can reply “Baby, it’s for the family ;)”. So there you go, I’ve got a sponsors section on the right and I’ll soon have a page that advertisers can buy ad space on the blog. Not sure how much (if any) money it’ll make, we’ll see..

So what do you think - is it cool to make money writing about topics you believe in?

Is it cool to have ads on endlesswait.com?
