My husband and I saw Dark Knight last night and got home fairly late. We promptly fell asleep on the couch and woke up at 4 AM. By the time I got ready for bed and actually went upstairs, my brain was fully awake. So I sat there, thinking about ways to monetize my blogs – this one, and my Make Money Online, One Step at a Time blog.
Even though I’ve been making money with it, I realize that I am tired of Adsense. It forces the reader to click away from my site and not visit any of my affiliate links. Plus, when they do click, I only make pennies. Hardly seems worth it.
This came about because I couldn’t find a place to put it on any of my new themes. Then, I remembered something Rosalind Gardner said in her Super Affiliate Handbook – that you should only use Adsense under special circumstances, as long as it doesn’t detract from your affiliate links.
Money isn’t the reason why I blog. I always make sure I provide great content and that I help people. It’s truly what drives me. 
So how will I monetize my blogs? It’s simple. By talking about products and services that I use and like.
