BUT, let's not assume that everything should be automatically "monetized". That's a sad commentary on our culture. Some things can be done just for fun, others for the sake of providing useful information or services for free. Craigslist is the best example of this. Its owners have been offered millions of ways to earn millions or billions from the site. They refuse almost all of them, including advertising, because that is not their mission, goal or point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-74883557061726005762007-02-01T20:23:00.000-05:002007-02-01T20:23:00.000-05:00Wow!

I personally am not trying to make money off my site. I want to put information out. If there's money to be made, I figure there are probably easier ways to make it. Not that I disagree with people trying to make money here.

But it was just a hassle and I think of blogging as fun. And I worked in a lot of publications where there was a fine line for accepting gifts and money. So i felt like monetizing or doing pay per post was jeopardizing my ethics.<br /><br />I like Ramit's ebook.

I feel sort of silly neglecting the monetization aspect entirely, but at the same time, I don't want to accept ads that subvert the message of my content (like <b>Tom Purl</b> says, displaying an ad implies an endorsement of the product), and I don't like the idea of effectively selling my audience, you know? I might have a different visceral reaction if I got to work out a deal with a sponsor whose product I appreciated. <br /><br /><b>chris</b>, I also liked Ramit's ebook idea. Perhaps I'll consider something along those lines.English Majorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276582833751319518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-35891888873305651372007-01-29T17:53:00.000-05:002007-01-29T17:53:00.000-05:00It's funny, but I always thought that it was hypoc...It's funny, but I always thought that it was hypocritical to write about money and then not attempting to fully monetize my blog. <br /> <br />What example am I setting when I say that you look to increase revenue streams and then ignore an obvious one staring me right in the face?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-41484839169984990712007-01-29T13:40:00.000-05:002007-01-29T13:40:00.000-05:00I guess it depends.

They add clutter and imply that you approve of every possible service that is advertised on your page. For this type of blogging, I don't know how successful tip jars are, but I've heard that some people are successful posting their Amazon wish list.<br /><br />Otherwise, if you beef is with Google adsense, then there are a lot of other options that can give you more control over both the style and content of the ads on your web site.<br /><br />HTH, and keep up the good work!<br /><br />Tom PurlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37476114.post-75912746872732768762007-01-29T12:33:00.000-05:002007-01-29T12:33:00.000-05:00I know that it would be a hassle, and perhaps it's...I know that it would be a hassle, and perhaps it's not practical, but I appreciated how Ramit Sethi did it over at I Will Teach You How to Be Rich with his "2007 Guide to Kicking Ass." For around $5, I was able to give a little bit back for something that I find useful and enjoyable, and he provided me with a little additional content, too.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177615117719791044noreply@blogger.com
