I don’t find ads profitable. One has to have tons of traffic and pretty aggressive posting schedule to see some income from that way. And then, with tons of traffic one can do much better. Not to mention that on many blogs aggressive posting is turning to “sell your soul” side.

My preferable stream of income is to advertise my Zazzle store http://www.zazzle.com/dandellion?rf=238324308783739188 on my blog. I know, it’s not income made directly from blogging, but as I enjoy photography and painting those two mix together just nicely.

Also, e-books are doing just fine on many blogs, and I’ll probably start working on one, though, as my blog is more opinion than advice, it might be a harder thing to sell.

I agree that good bloggers should be able to monetize their work! On your list above, the one I *really* don’t like is #3. When I see a link in-line, I expect it to take me to good content that author has specifically linked to. I hate realizing it’s just an ad!!!

Well, Jeff, your post gives me pause. A well-reasoned, intelligent, soulful post, for sure. I have been on my own personal “anti-monetization” bandwagon for a while know, though everyone and their mother is telling me to monetize, monetize, monetize. I do sell some of my products (in the sidebar), so I am obviously “monetizing” to some degree. It’s just that I cringe when I see blogs that are so blatantly sold out — like those people who literally get their foreheads tattooed with a company logo or the Nascar drivers whose uniforms are nothing but plugs for mega corporations. Anyway, I like how you are thinking through this and will noodle on my choices some more. In the meantime, here’s the link to my rather one-dimensional way I’ve been looking at this phenomenon. I think you’ll be able to relate. http://tinyurl.com/6lx36xx

Great article: I liked the fact that you didn’t promote spammy ideas.

Take your most popular post, expand it into a 40 page ebook and sell it for 1.99….your market are information hounds…give them great info and they want to buy more….sell it in email or just put an order after the post….I currently read anything on storytelling and copywriting…a monkey could sell me an ebook on that topic as long as it isn’t close to the price of a real book.

Ps your blog is awesome
