Posterous is growing on me

I gave posterous another chance. I have to say I'm loving the feature to post to multiple sites at one time. This way all my social networks and blog can be updated at one time. I have to say this is a really neat feature. 

 

It will make posting so much easier not having to go to tons of different sites to post things. Plus, I added the share button on my bookmark so if I find something I like I can easily share it on my blog and social networking sites. 

 

You can have multiple accounts on one e-mail and that is a feature I love. Plus, you can import which is a feature tumblr does not have that I wish it did. In that area it's far behind. 

 

So I say give posterous a try. You don't have to abandon your other blog or social networking sites it might just make things a little easier. 

 

 

 

 

To monetize or not?

A lot of bloggers are now monetizeing there blog as a way to make extra money. I am all for this. I think it is a great idea.

Some ways to do this are to sign up as an affiliate for companies and post there banners on your website or blog. The best places to do this if you are using a blog are blogger and wordpress. Also if you start making money from it and want a domain they make it easy to set up.

Then you can just add the banner to your sidebar and anyone who clicks on it and makes purchases will go towards a percentage for you.

Another thing you can do is to sing up to receive free products for review. Companies will send you a free product and then you just write a review about there product or company and post links to it in your blog.

It might take a while to start making money from these things. Another way to make money from your blog or website is to create e-books. If you know a lot about something then you can write an e-book on the subject and offer it on your website or blog for a minimal fee. You don't have to pay tons of money to self publish it or go through all the hassle of having a publishing company pick it up.

You can release an e-book on a number of sites. I have put some on lulu.com which is a self publishing site. You can also post anything on there for downloading like pictures or music for example.


blurb.com also has self publishing and you can publish e-books on there as well.

What motivates you?

I was reading a blog from the Lady Bloggers Society. The topic was whys you can be inspired to create. I liked a lot of the ideas and the ones that always inspire me are other people's creativity. Listening to music is always a way that sparks me to come up with a new idea. I came up with a few the other night that I'm thinking about working on.

Watching movies inspires me. And so does reading a good book. Seeing how other people write helps me to get ideas about my writing style and how I might want to go about a project.

So what motivates you to write? What inspires you?
