I want to monetize a blog and understand that Socrates is built for that, however, can I do the same things with Headway (easily) as it seems to be a more well rounded theme that I can use for other blogs as well? Help please?

    How specifically do you want to monetize? adsense, affiliate promotions?

    Personally I like Prose from Studio Press. The layouts, fonts, colors, menus, etc. are all controlled with an easy to use interface within wordpress. No messing with code. You can also move sidebars and main content by just clicking a button. Plus each blog post or page could have a different layout if you want.

    A big advantage is that with Prose is that once you get the settings how you like, you can export them and use with another blog.

      I also vote for Prose, actually I never used it before, but read somewhere else about Prose regarding this issue, so I think its trustworthy. you may try it.

    Yes to all of those monetization methods mentioned. Prose looks very nice and now a consideration though I've heard many times that the Genesis framwork is not as easy to use. Socrates seems very easy when it comes to adding adsense or a affiliate ads...is Prose as easy? Can I do what Socrates does with Headway and Prose without much effort? I've been leading towards Headway but want to monetize and I clearly don't code

    Thank you for your feedback!

    To monetize by ad placement you need no particular theme.
    You want to monetize, but why are you thinking to spend money at the very onset by using paid themes?
    Go with the thousands of free themes in wordpress.org site.
    they serve the purpose alright.

      I just started using headway. As with all flexible themes there is a bit ofa learning curve. Once the light bulb came on, its very flexible. You can realyl do just about anything you want with it. As for Socrates, I've only seen videos. If your just looking to monetize, etc then Socrates will do. I just know that you will never have a "I wish I could to do that" in Headway.

      If you're just looking to put some ads on a site check out max bounty plugins. They are free.
