Paula B of the Writing Show has just published our third podcast together: Monetizing Your Blog. It’s completely unrehearsed, but Paula does a good job of getting me to cover a lot of ground in a short space of time so if you have some time to spare, get the mp3 here.
Some subjects covered include:
- What options are available for making income from blogs and Web sites
- Why affiliate schemes (cost per acquisition) have been slow to take off in the blogosphere
- Where to place ads for best results
- What some of the pros and cons of the various options are
- Why people click on ads
- What you can do to get higher-quality ads
- Which strategy is best for most people
- How readers feel about Web ads
- Which sorts of visitors are likely to click on ads
- How to evaluate blog topics for their financial potential
- Why selling a blog is tricky
- Whether it’s possible to make a living from your blog
- What Performancing is planning in the way of an ad network for bloggers.
Thanks once more to Palula,it’s always a fun experience doing these shows!

Over which kind of line did you talk? You are pretty hard to understand. Just listening at the moment …
Hey Nick – good job! Sounds a little choppy but raising the volume seems to do the job.
Yeh i seem to recall having some issues (was recorded about a month back) and think i might have ended up on my mobile in the end..
hope everyone manages to hear it anyway…
Not using the skype headset any more Nick?
i tend to prefer to pay for my calls and do them in comfort
breaking out the headset and firing up skype is just way too much like hard work heh
@Nick: I guess Paula wasn’t using Skype either? Because Skype-to-Skype is fairly clear. Hullo to phone isn’t bad either – better than Skype to phone, at present.
@Anyone: Extremely revealing podcast. A must-listen, in fact, if you intend to earn money from your blogs and blogging. You have an advantage over everyone else just from listening to it.
Hi, guys,
Yeah, I was Skyping out to Nick. Even Skype to Skype is sometimes flaky.
Glad you liked the interview. Nick is always hugely popular with Writing Show listeners.
