But did you know that your blog itself may be worth thousand of dollars to you in its present form?

The day I learned that my blog held such hidden treasure was one of those happy accidents that can make life such a fun adventure. All I wanted to do was find out why some of my newsletter subscribers had not crossed over to my blog audience.

In an informal poll, I found that many ofrepparttar 124593 fans of my newsletter were overwhelmed withrepparttar 124594 amount of free information on my site, and felt that they’d never catch up to reading it all.

This led to several discoveries about how I could find a way to makerepparttar 124595 information more accessible to them without disruptingrepparttar 124596 enjoyment of my feed subscribers.

If your blog has export capabilities, you can use any of these techniques to generate revenue from your blog and make both your newsletter and blog subscribers deliriously happy.

For example, as I continue to cover free Google tools, tips and news in my blog on Tuesdays, I’ve noticed that this isrepparttar 124599 day that I tend to haverepparttar 124600 most subscribers reading every entry. With that information I was able to create a free Christmas gift for my audience that they’ll be able to use as a reference guide.

Should you find this to berepparttar 124603 case, instead of purging your archives, you can create a “Best of” compilation on a weekly or monthly basis, and charge for electronic distribution. Or you could charge advertisers to be featured in these periodicalsrepparttar 124604 same way you would a newsletter, and offer them to your audience at a discounted rate, as a premium version of your present ezine.
