Monetizing is a numbers game

Date February 20, 2008

I have found myself writing an awful lot about blogging since I declared that my site would be more about monetizing.  I keep having a lot of ideas about blogging, so now I have tried to increase my focus on monetizing.
If you’ve been an avid reader, you will know that with Google AdSense, I earned […]

Get a FREE ad on this site!

Date February 20, 2008

You heard me right folks, this is your chance to get a free ad on this site.  The ad format is a 125 x 125 square image ad.
You see, I have just started using Project Wonderful as yet another source of monetization for this blog.  Project Wonderful operates a little differently from some other advertising […]

AdToll is paying already - which means a bigger contest prize!

Date February 15, 2008

That’s right folks, after one day with AdToll it is already making me money!  I am proud to say that the February Contest has just had a prize value jackpot!
I said at the start of the contest that if I make any money on the blog, one quarter of that money will be added to […]

Valentine’s Day Special

Date February 14, 2008

I read something the other day about Valentine’s day, and the question “How can you make money from it?”  
Well, I for one just took my girlfriend to dinner, so I was spending, not making money from it.  I’m not Hallmark!  But I thought about it, and decided, yes there is something I can do.  Not […]

So your blog is monetized - what next?

Date February 13, 2008

If you take a blog or website and monetize it, you might make a bit of spare cash, or if you do really well you could generate enough money to quit your day job.  (That’d be nice hey )
But what would happen to you (or your income) if you stopped blogging?  Would you survive?  […]

Monetizing with AdToll

Date February 12, 2008

Having said that I would give away 25% of any income made this month on this blog as part of the February Contest, I need to start earning some money from the site!
So, the first foray into advertising here (apart from any previous attempt) is with AdToll.  Now, they have an easy sign-up process - […]

I’m back and there is a lot to do

Date February 11, 2008

It is going to be a post-storm tonight, because I have come back online from my holiday, I have lots of energy and lots to post about.  A little bit of housekeeping and something very interesting.  So keep reading…
First things first
I am in the process of reinventing my site.  You may have noticed some changes […]

I’m going away but I’ll be back soon

Date February 6, 2008

Actually, I’m not really *going* anywhere, I’m just taking a mandatory one week break from blogging.  I have found a focus for this blog, something to do with it.  I have decided it is pointless to spend so much time on a website and get nothing in return.
So, I am going to stray away from […]

No more ads!

Date January 29, 2008

Welcome to the cleaner, greener AndrewMesser.com.  There are no more ads on this site (for now).  Why did I ditch them?  This site is too small to make any money from ads right now, so why should I waste space showing them.
If the site gets up and going, and you the reader, or I the […]
