week. Whether you are updating your content once per week or daily, it is important to focus on a single theme. Decide what you want your blog to be about. Within your theme you may cover a variety of concepts or ideas but make sure to keep content consistent to build a loyal customer base.

Not only does it generate a small amount of revenue for you on a weekly basis, but it also provides relevant links based on your posts.
Another great way to monetize your blog is through paid links. T he concept of offering paid links is pretty straight forward. You create a section of you blog that lists recommended sites. In this list, you only place links that people have paid you to post. There are some tools you can use to automate this process. I simply add a link to a post that explains how to post your link with directions and a pass through to a Paypal page. You can set up a single time payment or subscription, allowing would be advertisers the opportunity to purchase a link on your blog monthly or for a longer period of time.
