You can get shared hosting for $10 - $20 a year. Domains for around $10. I would start all new blogs on your own hosting and domains then and use the Free hosted (FH) ones as traffic feeders and/or leave them alone. The biggest issue is that building on FH sites is building on a foundation of sand. It can all go away at any time.
- Evaluate the performance of all your sponsors this year. Determine the average and then focus new efforts on all those best performing sponsors.
- Try to find new traffic sources as opposed to continually hitting up the same ones.
- Try to get the most return for your time. If working 1 hour gets you $1 then that isn't a very good method. Find something else.
- Is there something you can add to your existing blogs (such as dating or cams) which might earn you an additional $50 - $200 per month right away?
- Be more aggressive than you are now. More links. Bigger ads. Better selling effort. More focus on driving traffic.
- Consider going niche or micro-niche if you aren't already in order to improve conversions.
- Don't be afraid to try the smaller programs.
Good luck.
