I know this sounds like an obvious answer but...I'm torn.
I started a new site a few months ago, spent a while getting it looking the way I want so now I'm starting to fill it with content. As a Nutrition and Public Health student that is what it will focus on, health and nutrition. Originally I planned it to be my "professional" site for when I qualified and was dead against monetising it because...well no one does that - it isn't the done thing as most people make their money through the services they provide (such as 1:1 health/nutrition advice). I don't plan on doing that as I'm going into teaching secondary school after so this is a side project...
This has now got me thinking whether I should just start a health blog and use it, not only as somewhere I can talk about a subject that really interests me but also look at earning from it with the likes of ads/affiliates. I've never had a niche before, with ChammyIRL being "Lifestyle", so this is my chance to maybe create something more successful?
Would a monetised health blog put you off the information being given?
