Huh. Money.

I've been a member here at WA for almost exactly three years now, and the main reason I've stayed is because of the wealth of information you can get. I haven't done much in the way of commenting or blogging or anything else in the last couple of years because I am very busy with my day-to-day business in the real world.

I haven't really made money with my blog, chiefly because of the lack of time and effort I put into it; months will go by without me visiting the thing. I do love my blog, though, because it has to do with camping and that's something I love. I have to add, guiltily, that it is also somewhat ignored due to owning a business. Oh, let's face it...it is shamefully neglected.

However, I recently got an email from my Amazon Associates account (which is the advertising I have on my website), telling me politely but sternly that I have to fill out my U.S. tax info if I want any money from them...which made me go to my account to see what the hey-dee-ho they were talking about.

Seems they have a hundred and twenty-nine dollars and some cents waiting to send to me. Checking my records, I see it has slowly been adding up, a dollar here, thirty dollars there, five dollars another time...and I haven't really done a darned thing with the website at all.

Sooo...for all of you out there who are wondering about whether or not your website will earn money for you, I can just say that if my ignored website, run by a lazy dweeb like me can make a little money, anybody's can.

I wonder what would happen if I paid some attention to it?
