Thanks for the invitation...

Hi Valerie. Don't know about "big time" LOL but the short answer is that I focus on the content, and the advertisers come along right with the readers...

Here's the long(er) answer:

When I started Domestik Goddess, late 2005, it was just to see what all this "blogging" stuff was about. I put on Adsense and signed up with Amazon - figured it couldn't hurt to pick up "pocket money" along the way!

My "real world" work tends to be on long projects on fairly "heavy" topics - I'm an editor/

OK Jen,

You know what all the bloggers want to know.

@Graham, thank you so much for the feedback. That's both flattering and helpful to me! I was afraid that that line might be 'over the top'... but I kept coming back to it, when trying to find a way to convey my enthusiasm. It's good to know it came across okay.

Jen it is obvious you are a pro.

What I want to know and I think others will as well is how do you profit by writing reviews such as this? What is the business plan behind your work?

Hi Domestika, (if I may be so bold)
Went to your blog, loved the content, but couldn't find the book review to which you referred. Maybe I'm dumb or sumpfink
