Monetize Your Blog 1: Introduction
You have a blog, and you want to make some money off of it. Ok, fair enough. You, and 20 million other bloggers have the same dream. In fact, I share that dream with you. So, I have decided to write a ‘Monetize Your Blog’ series as a bit of a learning process for myself, as well as to provide a resource for anyone else who wants to follow in my footsteps. As it is said, why re-invent the wheel?
As it stands, the information within this series will be blog-oriented, but you should be able to take the basic concepts from what I have written here, and apply them to your own site, no matter what type of site it is. Right up front, I want to make sure everyone knows that I welcome questions, comments, and suggestions. in fact, they are encouraged.
Game Plan
Now, there is no point in even starting a project like this without some sort of a game plan. So, to give you a sneak preview into what you expect, here is the series as I envision it:
- Introduction
- Set Your Goals
- Select Your Advertising Programs
- Creating House Ads
- Creating an Ad Sales Page
- Optimizing Your Ad Company’s Copy
- Estimating and Setting Your Initial Price
- Attracting Advertisers
- Summary and Results
Of course, this will be subject to change as we go on. I may encounter issues and subjects which should be touched upon, or I may take a post to answer questions or comments.
