In an article from the Washington Post I have just found their answer to “How to make money from your Blog?”

They suggest that the main revenue streams might be:
1. Let google work for you
2. Play ad sales Executive (select the ads that appear on your blog)
3. Be the middleman (affiliate programs)
4. Pass the cup (accept donations from readers)
5. Sell Schwag (sell mugs, t-shirts, whatever with your blog logo)


Well this seems to me like the 90’s revenue streams that geeks used to rely on to make some money to take girls to the movies (and then the money wasn’t enough for the popcorns and they would just go with each other, no ladies around). Results: it did not work for the majority of webpage owners.

Making money out of a blog is not easy. The ones that are capable of it, are the A+ under the bell curve which means a couple of boys nowadays.
