A Richmond Couple Get Paid To Blog

John and Sherry Petersik of Richmond, Virginia have what many home-improvement enthusiasts would consider to be a dream job. The fix up their home, and get paid to blog about it.
The the past several weeks, for example, they have furnished and accessorized an empty guest room and adjoining bathroom, painted wooden ceiling beams in their living room, and scored a pair of $35 vintage chairs for their home office. Their blog is called Young House Love, where the Petersiks chronicle the do-it-yourself decorating adventures in their Richmond home. They are not trained carpenters or interior designers, but they are come across as very charming and the information they provide is useful to others. Their blog gets more than 3.5 million page views per month, and they are now making enough from advertising to support their entire family.
