Advice

Some of the entrepreneurial DIY types among you — I know you’re out there — might be interested to read this from Grace Bonney of Design Sponge: A basic overview of making money from blogging. I’m really in no position to evaluate any of this on a practical level (I don’t even track readership of this site, let alone have any fantasies about selling ads here or whatever). And it’s a bit vague on some points, some numbers would have been interesting. But what’s there seems straightforward and, possibly, helpful.

The best thing about the piece, by the way, is that it’s all part of a “special promotion” for some American Express product on Slate. So I’m assuming — well, I’m hoping, for her sake — that Bonney actually got paid to write a post giving advice about making money from blogging! That’s why she’s Design Sponge, and you’re not.
