This panel will review the basic models for monetizing your blog and online presence, with and without the sale of goods, including:
1. Making money with your blog: Advertising, affiliate sales, sponsorship, all methods that live on your blogs, and where it’s more likely to be a numbers game, i.e. the more traffic, the more money you typically make
2. Making money because of your blog: Using your blog as a platform to establish your expertise and as a platform for your skills, helping you to secure freelance, consulting, speaking, teaching and other gigs.
3. eCommerce: On your blog or via Etsy and other third party sites.
