Strategy #6 Promote your Product or Services
My blog itself is not what I want to monetize. Its hard to do that. Its another tool to help get myself out there. Its my skills and knowledge I want to monetize. The blog lets people know I am out there, what I know and what I am doing. I treat it just like twitter, facebook, plurk, podcasting, etc.
