My blog, Low Poly Mess, has plateaued. It currently makes ÂŁ47 a month, but after fees I'd be surprised if I break even. If you hate it, fair enough, but if you enjoy reading it, I'd love your support (financial or spreading the word). I guess it's a hard sell, but I know it has fans! lowpolymess.com
