Income Generating Models
Self-Financed Hobby. No Income.
Advertising Supported (Banner or Text Ads).
Sponsors — Ads With Extra Visibility.
Employed to Blog.
Employed to Blog
Secure Income.
Problem: Hard to Establish Credibility.
Not Recommended Since It’s Really Hard.
Advertising and Sponsors
Ads: Automatically Changed; Preferably Text Ads.
Sponsors: Long-Term Advertisers.
Ideally, Advertising Does Not Influence Editorial.
