I agree with Amit. It becomes more than monetization when the real money is made offline. I've just jump-started my own blogs that were sitting dormant for far too long thanks to you Andrew. Always a pleasure to read your posts! Great post Andrew!

I’ve just jump-started my own blogs that were sitting dormant for far too long thanks to you Andrew.

Always a pleasure to read your posts!

I, like what Amit has said, may be guilty of placing Ads everywhere. May have to take a good look at my website and revamp a little. However, to build good reader base, traffic is important too. Readers will not become readers if they are not led to your website in the first place. This is one area which I am faring badly at. Perhaps there's still a lot for me to learn from you gurus. Thanks for the great guidance provided! Definitely something for me to think about. I, like what Amit has said, may be guilty of placing Ads everywhere.

However, until lately, I found that if I want to make money in long run and passively, I must build up the brand for my blog and also myself and provide more value to my readers. I believe money will follow you once you can provide enough value to readers. Contribution is the most important thing before making any money.

Is that true? Who knows, looks like mostly conjecture. Anyway, the last thing I want to do is to sell visitors out for a $0.50 click. [Which is what happens when they click on an adsense ad]. There are some programs which open up in a new window though. I believe blog branding longevity will outlast any short term ad program, and it only makes sense to take a long view if you're serious about building your business. Hey Amit,

The purpose of my blog is two-folds: to brand myself, and to provide useful information. I have no plans of directly monetizing my blog, in fact a HUGE mistake a lot of newbie bloggers make is to over monetize their blog with ads everywhere. As a result visitors just clicks on the ads and leave the site. This makes it very difficult to build up a regular reader base. The networking opportunities & business opportunities that result from blogging are priceless. I hope newbie bloggers take your advice to heart! Hi Andrew,
