Back then, you couldn't even run ads to the retailers, but I already I was so used to doing it myself and I knew all the benefits to doing it myself, and I wasn't too happy to hand it over to the retailers when that happened, when Kindle happened in 2007. And if you're doing Amazon ads, who benefits from that?

And it was the same thing, really Joanna, since four and a half years, I do one hour a day of an Amazon ads. Now, you've mentioned the ads. Joanna: That's brilliant.

The first article back then, it was probably back in 2006 or 2007, it was a guest post, it wasn’t a paid article, but it was a bit of a test to see how they would go with that format of writing and to see whether they were interested in writing. There was once I hired 10 people from this process just from one ad of the job board as well.

Your blog will show WordPress’ branding and ads. You can’t run your own ads. To use ads from the ‘WordAds’ program you need to upgrade to a “premium” plan, which is currently $94/year.

Previous to these first experimentations with eBooks, the income generated from my blogs was almost all from advertising revenue (from ad networks like AdSense and also a few ad sales direct with brands) and affiliate revenue (like Amazon and a few smaller programs).

So sometimes the information we need can only be found by taking the action, by running the experiment, by testing the ads. Now, it's happened many times since I started here in like 2007 when I started self-publishing. If you just start doing Amazon ads, your books will take off. So we can never have certainty in an outcome.

When people start monetizing their blog, many of them try putting up ads. When I started Digital Photography School in 2007, I dreamed monetizing that blog with an ebook.

In 2007 I left an executive job in media to start a business. There was nothing about adding value to others. Remove – a simple formula that’s hard to execute. A marathon if you will … not a sprint. This formula got me to this place, but I almost lost it all by not following it. Actually, my goals were quite small.

And plenty of space for long-copy ads. There is no online equivalent of those big, full-page or half-page ads we see in newspapers and magazine. The ads became smaller, and the copy had to be shorter. Welcome to 2007 and the Apple iPhone. But they required great dexterity when on a crowded commuter train or bus.

And looking at my ad revenue, the reviews were also earning about ten times as much. I’ve been updating it every six months since 2007, and believe me it’s a lot better now than when I first wrote it. The news posts (which were pretty much “Here’s a new camera!”) After that, no-one cared. It got me thinking.
