Me and my brother started it a few months ago. We have had a few clicks on Adsense Ads. Wondering what other ways are there to monetize a Blog (effectively) when your Niche is about picking the best Stocks to invest in ??

Incidentally, I do have capabalities to build a list with my Autoresponder .

Thanks for any suggestions or insight !!

    The bottom line is that you need to build a list.

    Either give away a free report, or else require them to opt in before even seeing your stock picks.

    If you're a good stock picker, you can make a lot more money by establishing yourself as an authority and gaining a following than you will make from Adsense.

    Build the list don't use adsense.

    No point making .50 a click when you can make $20-$100 per sale.
    Shoot find some CPA's that pay per lead is better than adsense I think.

    BUILD A LIST. Give them some killer stuff. build the list and build a business

    If you do a search in the clickbank marketplace for "stock" you'll find several stock trading softwares on there. They seem to sell fairly well.

    Also clickbank now has it's own adsense style ads that you can use called "hopad builder".

    If your picks are really good - you will naturally build traffic, then it's a matter of monetizing your traffic.
