Blogging experts,
How do you choose to monetize your mainstream blogs? More importantly, what methods have you found to be ineffective, as well as personally annoying to deal with?
I have a few mainstream projects that were engineered from inception with end monetary means in mind.. but this one is different, intended to be a passion project, and most importantly the first blog I've ever laid a hand on. The subject matter is a hobby that I know well.
I don't want to make a cunt out of the user experience, but naturally I would like it to be worth the time investment. As passionate as I am on the subject matter, I still intend for it to be profitable.
Typically, my aim is to pitch my own affiliations and convert them directly from start to finish in total continuity.. But I'd like to be more hands off and concise with my time on this one.
What have you found to be worth your time and relatively hassle free?
Not so much about pure profit but more like a viable balance.. In good taste, perhaps even unobtrusive
