How do I monitize this

11 replies
I have been playing with a blog idea for a while now, based on political and celebrity satire / ridicule. We are located at aretheyfittorule.co.uk I am looking to advance the idea and post regularly.

I am though at a loss as to how to monitize the bugger. I have thought of using an amazon or kindle store plugin but usually these from experience provide such poor content relevance I risk losing my own credibility, which whilst undesirable at the best of times is particularly disastrous when poking fun at others.

Any suggestions would be appreciated both for general ideas and plugins that actually deliver relevant product links.

Thanks

    Your blog idea sounds like it could do fairly well with AdSense. You would just need to research keywords etc to optimize your blog for AdSense.

    Finding good, relevant products for such niches can be a bit problematic for many people. I'm not too familiar with any products that you could promote though, or any plugin that would help you. I'm sure there is someone else who could answer that question better.

    Good luck

    First thing to be done is to do keyword research to find the keyword to be focused to monetize it with adsense or even clickbank

    I have a political satire blog also and I've had celebrity blogs and found both of them to be very difficult to monetize. Interesting content and readers, but not a group that is easy to sell, even with Adsense.

    Take a look around at similar blogs and see how they are attempting monetization. Might give you some ideas .....

    oh, and don't be talking about Amy Winehouse like that RIP. She's much beloved even with the obvious flaws she had.

      Loved Amy's music myself just the bloody hysteria and "surprise" when it all went wrong was the problem. Lets be honest it didn't need mystic Meg to be able to see a problem jogging over the horizon.

      Thanks for the tips, the only monetization I can really think of for this is Amazon with biographies and such.

    adsense is usually your best bet.

    Adsense should be your first step.

    Now depending on the celebrity stories you can monetize based on the article.
    For instance, if the article is about celebrity fashion, a hand bag or glasses, I would monetize with an affiliate link to the items they have on in the pictures on your article.

    Would it be worth thinking about doing a selection of funny t-shirts, mugs, etc? You could do through something like Printfection or Zazzle.

    i think mix adsense with busted tees or chestees affiliate program (just example).

    Find long tail keywords that have high CPC but low monthly searches, like 500 search per month (low search which mean low in competition as well), then find article related to your keyword and spin the whole article.

    or you can find someone do the writing for you at fiverr for $5

    create tons of these articles and build some backlink.

    Hope this help
