Why My blog is Ad-Free
When I started my blog www.jerseyfarmtotable.com in 2017, I wanted to make information on healthy recipes accessible to everyone at no cost. But as traffic and the expenses increased, I quickly realized that making my contents available free of charge meant a big cost for me both financially and time wise. As everyone knows, managing a blog is time and money consuming, many hours sometimes days are put for every and each post; starting with shopping to developing recipes, cooking, styling, shooting, editing, posting, engaging… and the list goes on.
Easy Money at a Cost
I have been contacted by many ad agencies asking if they can advertise on my site. These ads could easily pay for my site expenses many times over, but the ads are usually for items that has nothing to do with my category or I don’t use myself and I wouldn’t recommend to my audience.
The point is that every time I browse through other food blogs, I got bombarded with ads and pop-up banners, that I easily lose focus no matter how great their contents are. That is why, I decided to make a clean, simple, easy to navigate and importantly ads-free blog that everyone can enjoy. I created this blog for most as a gift to my audience even if it has run at a negative for many years.
