I'm fortunate to make any money as a blogger.
Affiliate marketing has made businesses millions and ordinary people millionaires.
As I said, I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about partner brands.
If you can build a Facebook page and channel the audience to your website, you can generate revenue via PPC advertisement networks like Google Adwords, Taboola, Yahoo! Bing Network, AdRoll, 7Search, etc.
The more affiliates I have the more I can sit back and let my brown belt and black belts do the work.
With the SEO value of Gawker, I could sell anything, including 'Gorilla Mindset' books. I would self-monetize. The way Alex Jones does it.
There are lots of ways to monetize. But if you have millions of fans, and you can convert even five percent of them to pay for something of yours, you are in the seven-figure range.
If folks focus in on a niche and own it, there is a good chance they could make half a living from blogging.
You have to figure out some way of making money without relying on video ads or people paying to download.
Today you can start a blog, build an audience, and give the advertising slots to AdBrite or Google AdSense.
There are hundreds of ways to make money using the Internet.
Pay per click was just the beginning. The real evolution is pay per action.
We set up a beta site, a test site, with movie, music and book reviews. If you're reading them and you want to buy a book or a ticket for a movie that's reviewed on the site, you can do that without leaving our site.
I tell em everybody else is my opposite. I put em on the game give em five percent.
