One thing I would add to "making money" with blogs is adding opt-in forms to build a list. We all know one of the best ways to market anything is to capture people's info, and follow-up with them over time using an autoresponder. Good stuff.

One tip I'd give anyone just starting out in this arena is to remember the supremacy of person-to-person relations. If you can get somebody on the phone and engage them in a friendly, positive manner, that can be ten times as effective as a string of emails or even an automatic signup as an affiliate or whatever. Oh, one more tip, too - IT TAKES TIME AND EXPERIENCE to learn the ropes of this. It's important and necessary to read all you can about Web advertising ... but it's also necessary to pound the digital pavement and, well, fail some. I've been immersed in the quest of driving ad revenue to a large network of blogs (Know More Media) for more than six months now, and I have made a ton of mistakes ... but I've also learned a ton and a half in the process.

It's easy. They have nice, tasteful ads... I have tried Text Link Ads but have not seen anything come of it yet and I've had the code up for a month or so now. I've also had Amazon relevant ads and although I've seen some clicks...there have not been any conversions. I'm thinking I'll remove the Amazon ads and make room in my sidebar for something else. As Alpesh mentioned, it would be good to know how to pursue direct advertising or do you just wait for them to come to you? I wonder if there is a portal you can list your blog as being a blog interested in being approached by direct advertisers... hmmm. So far I like BlogHer. It’s easy.
