I am totally new to all of this- from Market Samurai to setting up a blog, etc. You are so right Time is Money, and the sooner I or anyone else begins taking steps the sooner the reward will come. I guess my problem is that there is so much information out there from your blog, and others... It becomes overwhelming. Where to start, what to do first? So many questions, with so many answers. I think the trick is to just start somewhere! Thanks again Pat for taking the time to motivate us! Its 2012, and thanks Pat for sending me the link to your post.

I'm more inclined to monetize through ways that'll potentially go big and uphold a brand, such as own product or membership etc. If you choose monetizing method wisely, it might bring you more fortune in less time. Some monetizing methods might earn you small amount of money in the early stage, but they might downgrade user experience to some degree and in turn slow down your traffic growth. Any thoughts?

However, at the very early stage of a blog, such as mine, an educational blog, other than Adsense, there are not many other monetizing choice to adopt. For a few visitors a day, is it worth to strap ad banners all over? So your visitor could be send away by simply clicking on a google banner that may not earn even a dollar in a month? I'd say NO for sure.
