From the lips from the ProBlogger Darren Rowse, is a sweet blueprint for monetizing your blog. It really does come down to treaing your blog, your product as a business. Traffic, community, revenue doesn’t drop from the sky. Like anything else you gotta put your back into it. I found this post enlightening nd underscored some things I already knew too.
“In this post I want to present some visuals on how I’ve expanded one of my blogs and diversified its income streams.
* How do I expand upon my blog and add different elements to my site?
* How do I move beyond the basics of making money with AdSense on my blog?
I’m asked these two questions a lot and in this post I want to share, with some visuals, how I do it on one of my own sites.
While at Blog World Expo last week I was asked to present to a small group private group on how I make money blogging. As part of the presentation I put together some basic graphics that attempted to visualise how Digital Photography School works and with the permission of the clients I presented to I’d like to share them here.

(USA) Mobile internet usage is “bigger and will be bigger than most think,” according to Morgan Stanley analyst Mary Meeker’s bullish prediction. Presenting her report on internet trends and the economy at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco on Tuesday, she said the overall tech industry was in recovery, and predicted that the mobile internet was the “next major computing cycle,” based on what she called the “explosive Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone / iTouch ramp.” Mobile internet usage, Meeker predicts, will “surprise to upside for years to come.” more

( JAMAICA) Digicel typically has many promotions and competitions to win things running at the same time. They usually promote it through the traditional media, on their website and also by sending a text message to you making you aware of the competition, if you are a prepaid customer when you check your credit status they tag it to the text message that comes back to you with the dollar value of credit left on your phone or if you call their customer service you hear the audio promotion before you are put through to an operator.

(Trinidad)T&T’s information technology (IT) industry is far behind that of the developed world, said Miles Abraham, director, Simply Intense Media (SIM). “T&T is about ten years behind first-world nations. What was happening in the United Kingdom (UK) about ten years ago is where we are at now. The mobile phone market was liberalised and then prices dropped, then the Internet exploded, so that’s where we are. Then broadband becomes mass market and everything goes online.” Abraham was interviewed on Monday at SIM’s Belmont office.
E-commerce
Talking about e-commerce, Abraham said many T&T businesses do not use e-commerce effectively. “The Internet sector is a bit behind where it should be. The sector is fairly behind because of the drawbacks of e-commerce. Many of the banks are not using e-commerce as they should be. They should be making it a bit more available to people. “They are trying to facilitate it, but it’s not really available to the average man on the street. You’ve got to have a fairly large account and maybe a credit card, but there are cheaper alternatives.” Abraham said there needs to be more a professional approach in the way online marketing is done.
