A Commercial Proposition

This little blog has now been going for the best part of twelve years. It is by no means the most widely read blog on the internet, but it does attract some great followers who occasionally comment and contribute and, in doing so, generally make my day. i would say that it has a small but oh so select following.

Anyway, where am i going with this? Well, Owner occasionally mentions that i really ought to find some ways to earn some additional income so that She can retire and not have to worry about work anymore.  However, despite us both being successful professionals, i don't bring in enough money to allow Her ambitions to be fulfilled. She teases me about why am i not rich and why is She still having to work? She is, i know, just teasing but i also know that She really would like to no longer have to work. We already have an arrangement whereby my salary effectively goes to Her with me receiving a small monthly allowance in return but She would like me to find a way to bring in some extra income. She doesn't mean for me to go and get another job, rather to see if there are ways that i could earn some extra money whilst still being at home where i belong. 

Accordingly, one of Her long-standing challenges to me is for me to look for other ways to bring in some additional money.  One such idea was by writing short femdom-themed stories (i have actually been writing a novella during lock down this year). Owner has dreams that i might one day become a successful writer. However, whilst i do enjoy writing, and i have written and published a few over the years, i am neither a good nor successful author. You can read my efforts to date if you don't believe me.

So intermittently my mind casts about for other ways to earn some extra money. One thing i have sometimes wondered was whether or not there was a way to commercialise some aspect of this blog? So, with that in mind imagine my pleasant surprise when, out of the blue, i was contacted last week via the blog by people asking if i wanted to write for them on a commercial basis. i was initially flattered and intrigued, whereas Owner was more sceptical and suspicious. Anyway, to cut to the chase it transpired that, yes, the offer was genuine. However, what they sought were paid for reviews of sex toys.

i wrote back thanking them but saying that what they were proposing did not really fit with what this blog was about as, although i do talk and write about very adult stuff it is about living as a submissive in a 24/7 FLR relationship. i only ever rarely write about sex toys. It is not really a blog about sex.

So anyway, my brief thought that maybe that could be a way of bringing in some extra money for Owner came to nothing and the blog will be continuing as it is. In the meantime, can i interest anyone in a 2021 Poppet Subslut calendar? :)

Hi I really enjoy your blog and like many I guess are just silent readers. Years ago I used to write for the Madame magazine, paid very little and sort of ended up being a labour of love.

Perhaps you could offer your sewing skills, making aprons. Just a thought.

Hello,
why not create a school for submissives. It would be an online school. your owner should participate but with the secretary that you are his work would be minimal. You would create another blog with advertising.
If you are interested in the idea, I can tell you more.

Hello both - great suggestions. Owner did once suggest that i try and sell knitwear, it is just that i produce items so infrequently. i am going to try and knit again this winter. i also need a sewing machine before i try and sew anything professionally.

The online school is also a great idea. Owner has occasionally toyed with the idea and i think She would make an excellent trainer. i mentioned your comment to Her.

Thanks for the suggestions
