How To Monetize My Blog

4 replies
I am in search of just one good book that will give me an idea on how to monetize my blog at www.daringordon.com. Can any please give me any suggestions on which book would be the best to buy? I am willing to spend $25 for the book. I just need one. Thank you in advance.

    In my opinion, it may not be in your best interest to purchase a book. Books can be outdated especially when we're talking about a constantly changing technology. There are quite a few blogs out there dedicated to what you're looking for though.

    If you'd like a little more feedback and information on what I'm talking about, you should check out the link in my signature. The best part is that you can ask questions and get an answer immediately. You can't get that in a book!

      Thank you Kyle. That is greatly appreciated.
      I also have a few articles that are sitting on my laptop collecting dust and just the other day, I did a search for some of the topics. I thought about incorporating these articles into self-help reports.

        I took a look at your website. Your focus might better be centered on improving your WP theme and creating more articles. Try to stay away from heavy advertising or use of affiliates in the beginning because it might leave a sour taste in readers mouth.

        Reports are a great idea, but might be better implemented once you've built up your blog. That way your reports have something to link to. It will give your readers the feeling that your blog is a great source of information and keep them coming back.

          Thank you for the great advise Kyle. I tried to change the theme for the WP Blog but, i get an error message, so i decided to leave it as is. I may go back and change it though. i do have a few other templates I could use. As far as the heavy advertising goes, I only really recommended the websites that are in my blog, not really a form of advertising though as I am not an affiliate of any of them. But, that advise is great as well. I will stay away from the heavy advertising.
