Today, Kelly asked a very interesting freelance blogging question: Is blogging for ad revenue share worth it? (You can share your experiences in the comments section on her post.)

As always, it depends on your circumstances. I am a freelance writer who uses the income to support my family. Which means that blogging for ad revenue share only is not worth it for me. I either require a set amount per post or per month for blogging for others.

The exception? If ad revenue share comes with a base pay as well. Companies that offer base pay plus ad revenue share usually pay a low per-post or flat rate. But it can be a great opportunity if you can make the blog popular. Incidentally, I only work with companies that offer at least 40% of the ad revenue share to their writers.

Another thing to consider are blogging networks that offer base pay plus pageview bonuses. This is better than ad share revenue, since you get base pay plus a set amount per 1,000 pageviews, no matter how many "clicks" an ad on the blog gets.
