I thought I would post a bit of my experience which may be helpful. I have a time management blog and wrote three ebooks before I joined here. After joining here I tried a generate additional revenue with Adsense, text ads, CPA offers etc and looked for more ways to monetize my content. I have now removed all of this stuff from my website and only sell one product and give away two. I focus my energy on writing new content for the website and promote it through an occasional article, some booksmarks and tweets ans participation in forums in my niche. I realized there is no reason to give away an ebook unless you can sell something more valuable. Don't give away something worth $12.99 to try to get a gagillion adsense clicks
The result of this focus has been an increase in revenue with less time. The takeaway from this for new members, is to create if you can original content and through a combination of promotion ie marketing and smart giveaways and participation, you can start to make consistent money. The key is to start writing in your niche. I hope this post helps someone.
