You guessed it: I’m selling out.
OK, maybe that’s a little over the top. But I am planning on moving over to WordPress.org in the next month or two so I can start monetizing my efforts here (you can’t do it on WordPress.com). After all, one of the reasons I started this blog was to understand everything blogging offers for business, and most businesses are interested in making money.
I just read this excellent post by Scott, and I’ve picked up a thing or two at ProBlogger. But I want your tips and ideas. What suggestions and advice can you leave here in the comments on how to best make money with a blog? Anything you can think of for this blog specifically? Maybe you can even write your own post on your blog in response and just trackback to this post.
Let me hear from you.

Get out of wordpress and use your own domain. Thats it.
Have a dual traffic focus:
Short Term:
* Current Interest Items
* Short “Link Bait” Posts
Long Term:

Mix up both each week and you should have a growing readership which means more ad and affiliate dollars.
just post a picture of you doing your situps without a shirt on. remember college?
All good advice, except maybe the sit-ups idea. But it’s worth a shot, right?
Aaron, could you expand a little bit on “link bait?” I know what it is, but I know there’s good link bait and bad bait.
And there’s jail bait.
And stink bait
