How would I monetize my blog if I was writing for 'entertainment' value?
I used to get alot of attention when I would write troll/flame posts on forums. This isn't to say I deliberately tried to provoke ppl (though I often did) but rather that I wrote whatever I felt like and had the idea that others would fall in line to my views. Over time I noticed myself refining my technique and 'persona' such that I was gaining popularity for a certain internet character I created.
Now at the time I was only doing it for my own self amusement and would often be in hysterics while writing it.
Since I got into IM and was trying to do the 'advice' tip I noticed myself dumbing myself down considerably on these same forums resulting in my realization of how dry and generic my posts were becoming.
So I was thinking if I went back to my sensational writing style how would I still monetize it? I couldn't as easily directly promote products from that angle cos I was basically just railing against people and acting crazy and acting the fool. I would admit my incompetence in my posts and people I think would find it entertaining for that very reason as most do not like to admit their faults.
So I can see myself easily developing this style and attracting interest for it cos I find it really fun/motivating and I think it is a USP in itself within my niche but how to still turn a buck from it?
