alright gareth, so not only does it seem like you've disabled commenting for good, but also you don't have buttons on your posts for me to share them around? you're killing me, smalls.

this thread title keeps reminding me of this track

it was supposed to be a reference to that horrible joaquin phoenix movie, but I like your interpretation better

I know man, need to investigate different ways of commenting, but I'm a busy man! You can share a link though my bro!

I need to enable some Knell only comment box to stop the flood of "Great post!" and "I agree!"

knell · Post by **knell** » Sat Apr 14, 2012 4:24 pm

I agree!

but in all seriousness, you could enable comment moderation, and just delete all the spam. they will get the hint, eventually.

knell · Post by **knell** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 6:14 pm

What does that translate into $$ a day?

knell · Post by **knell** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 6:45 pm

really depends... sometimes people go ad crazy, sometimes not, and I have no idea why. traffic is never a bad thing tho

rough estimate, $10-50, but I still have some $0.70 days, some $70 days.

reddit traffic is great for reaching new audiences, but that never translates well into ad revenue (i'm assuming because it's the demographic that uses ABP)

I recently received a buyout offer (and subsequently a job offer) from an e-magazine, turned it down because the price point was laughable. I took it as a good sign though.

didn't mean to sound like i was only interested in the money, the "magazine" itself was one of those awful "IF IT AINT A LANADELREY+ASAPROCKY+GRIMES COLLAB WE IGNORE IT LOLOL CLOUD RAP SWAG SWAGSWAGAGAG" kinda blogs

Forgive me for not scrolling through dozens of pages, but how does one make money from a blog? Sounds too good to be true.

knell · Post by **knell** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 9:00 pm

it's all in the first post of this thread, but:

1. create a blog/website
2. put ads on it (many different options to choose from)
3. hustle hard
4. ?????????
5. make a little profit

Don't know if you could call it profit. You could call it money, but profit usually connotes revenue in excess of expenses, which factoring your time, you'd be better off giving shoe shines to foxconn workers.

Going back a couple of posts though, that is dope knell.

knell · Post by **knell** » Sun Apr 15, 2012 9:45 pm

that's insanely acerbic, even for you noways

i guess i should add that it should be a part time thing that you really enjoy doing, so it can be a leisure activity that generates revenue. personally i love finding and sharing good music, i would do it anyway, so why not earn my car insurance payments or gifts for my lady while i do it?

even if everyone blocked my ads, i'd still do it just for the free promo kits and connections i've made

This. Met a crazy amount of people thanks to Night Tracks, and now run a (fairly successful) label.

I thought I'd give up after a couple of weeks and 20 views.

Night Tracks is probably my favorite thing to arise out of all of this

i take full responsibility, of course
