THe more consistent I am, the more visitors I get. When I put my posts on a schedule to show at the same time everyday, I get way more traffic than ever before! I think blog automation is key to rising very high, very fast. I'm still learning a LOT, constantly reading, learning, forging relationships -- bu the end result as you say is well worth it. I really like this blog and the community it fosters. And the advice is excellent! I have noticed some thing too in my short time blogging. THe more consistent I am, the more visitors I get.

I may put up a post with some percentages, but I really don't like talking about how much money I make online - some people would be totally impressed - others would think it is peanuts. At this point, nearly half of what I make is from direct advertisers, then ad networks slightly beat out affiliate income. ;) Ah, Paula – I KNOW you have been after me to publish this for a while!
