Sunday’s Washington Post offers strategies on How To Make Money off Your Blog.
The article points to several well-known advertising strategies. But if you’re ad-adverse, there’s always this:
Don’t dig ads? Uncomfortable asking for handouts? Then create your own blog-branded gear at CafePress.com, which offers more than 50 products begging for your unique logo. Choose from standard fare such as T-shirts and coffee cups, or, if Grandma doesn’t read your blog, opt for sexy thong underwear (ooh la la). You get to sell each product at whatever price your entrepreneurial heart desires. CafePress gets back the original base price ($13.99 for T-shirts, $10.99 for mugs); you keep the markup. Just add your online store’s link to your blog, and all that’s left to do is wait for CafePress to send you a monthly check.
