Merchandise might work

Having said that I would recommend clearer distribution channels than our effort here but interesting to see people respond positively.
Quite a few people wearing them now.

I’ve been sent a few books and dvd’s as a direct result of building up relationships with authors and film makers through blogging. I’ve also received a Grannymar toyboy badge, so now my life’s complete and I don’t even think about blogging for money

Secondary school some time in the early nineties: Crap uniforms,Picking boring subjects for their CAO points haul, a girl/guy, a school disco, a fallout. College. Work. You blog. Your name bubbles up to the top of Google search.
Meanwhile your school crush: school – college – married to hedge fund manager – hegie does the dirt – distressed – in a weak moment he/she googles you – on the first page – in distressed state your online drivel reads like shakespearn sonnets – kills hedge fund manager – marries you – caaCHING !$!$!$!

I think I may need to find some extra sources of money cos me and my brother starting college is really draining us.

I can’t imagine getting anything close to decent amounts of money for any of them though cos my site views are almost solely from my regular readers and have no idea how to promote it.

PS. Could have linked to the book on Amazon using my affiliate ID… but thought that might be pushing things just a little bit

Option seven works a treat. I’m regularly approached by new clients who first find me through my blog. It’s a great way to showcase your work… and who knows where that may lead.

It was also partly through the blog that I ended up co-authoring “Understanding Digital Marketing“.

At the moment my “main” blog is far too general to make any serious inroads down the affiliate marketing route to monetisation… got a couple of niche blog ideas that could be better suited to it though… if I ever manage to make the time to pursue them.

But that, as they say, is another story….

Thanks for mentioning my little monetisation blog I really must get round to putting more content on it!

I find that blogging helps introduce me to certain circles as an authority figure on certain topics, which in my case would primarily involve domain names.

Blogging about different topics has led me to give talks at ICANN and elsewhere which may not lead to direct sales, but definitely has helped build up the company’s overall reputation and perception.
