Wow, simply wow. John Chow just released his June stats for his blog and he made a whopping $12,569.61. And he calls it a part time job, a “hobby”. Hah.
As I have said before, income diversification is the key, and it is why John makes as much as he does. It is really basic math, even a kid in 2nd grade can do the calculations:
A lot of people who hate Adsense don’t click on it, but those same people might buy something through your affiliate link. Heck, throw in link sales and your already going to make much more than you would with Adsense alone.
Then you can even take it a step further and do donation-style monetization (like John’s buy me a beer thing), and also sell some advertising space on your blog. Let’s not forget there are also programs like ReviewMe and PayPerPost that can make up really nice chunk of change.
Please subscribe, or else I will cry. Do you really want to make a programmer cry?
