One of the ways bloggers make money is from the ads on our sites. The more time people spend on our websites, the more money we make. This kind of passive income is especially important right now as it is a way to generate income while focusing on recovery. Some bloggers have lost their homes, are unable to work, or have families that they support who have lost everything. Here are some bloggers that you can support right now without spending a penny: Family Around the Table, Julia’s Simply Southern, My Quiet Kitchen, Well Fed Baker, Quiche My Grits, Balancing Motherhood, and Intentional Hospitality.
