Try This For Monetizing Your Blog

I have a blog that gets about 1500 uniques per day,
and I am constantly trying new things to improve
the site's monetization (i.e., make money!)

Typically the most responsive approach is some
sort of zip code submit campaign where I get paid
on a per lead basis.

This morning I tried something new just for grins
and set up a banner ad featuring one of my own
"make money" products. But instead of using a boring
ebook cover as the image, I used a funny picture of
me fishing and added some text about making money
while having lots of fun.

Now the day is still young, but so far I've had lots more
clicks than I normally would have from the site at
this point. It's actually kind of fun to keep checking
my stats!

So my tip is this: try something silly and eye catching
when you create your next ad (maybe use an actual
photo like I did).

Granted, it's nothing earth-shattering but worth a try.
I'll post back in a day or two with my results.
