The old way to make money with a blog was to sell ad space, and for some
bloggers like Johny o skool this is possible. But for the rest of the
bloggers out there this may never be the case for you. Since to sell ad
space you will need A LOT of traffic, and have that traffic be
consistent. Is it possible? Of course it is, but is winning the lotto
but the chance of that happening are slim. How Can You Make Money With
Your Blog?

Be personable, be trustworthy, build relationships with your readers.

products once a month or annoy people with a million emails a week,
instead do some of what a IM'r does.
