I’m grateful to my friend Tina for giving me my own personal domain and for sponsoring my web hosting for two years. For those who do not know yet, Tina sponsored a contest on her blog last year. The object was to invite fellow bloggers to visit her site. The person who invited the most number of bloggers won the contest. The winner won 5 years worth of free web hosting plan plus personal domain. I did not win but I had a great time. Knowing that my fellow bloggers supported me on my quest to win the contest was already a prize by itself.

To my astonishment and delight, Tina announced that she was going to give me a prize for my efforts. I was so touched when she said she was going to award me with my own domain and web hosting for two years.

I’m grateful that Tina gave me a chance to widen my opportunities to blog for money and be able to be productive at home. It’s a wonderful opportunity for me especially as a stay-at-home mom. Through the help of Smorty, a service connecting bloggers with advertisers, I can combine my hobby and at the same time earn some revenue from it.
