Even though it's a passion, it is time consuming and time is money. That was also part of the problem and why I went on my own. I put a lot of time in to that "other blog" and my compensation was getting weaker and weaker while the blog was monetized in to someone else pocket. It just didn't make sense to me to keep pouring my passion in to it and not getting anything back. At least with H.i.m. I still have some connections and it's all on my own terms. I've thought about trying to monetize Hook In Mouth as well but I would want to make it strictly about music such as working with labels and posting ad banners for them. Not ads that have nothing to do with music. I just like how a blog looks with out all the clutter of ads too. It makes loading and everything much easier. I understand where you are coming from.
