Wendy – Affiliate earnings can sometimes take time. They go over much easier with readers when you’ve built a relationship with them over time (they trust recommendations more that way, as long as you keep referring them to quality things). So just hang in there. :) I did take a look at your blog, and it’s off to a good start. I especially liked your post where you were discussing coming up with a niche for your own e-book – it’s a great example of the fact that, like you say there, everyone is an expert at something. :)

Kathryn – What kinds of things have you tried so far, and do you think it’s the tactics failing, maybe not giving them enough time, or something different altogether that’s causing you problems?

Jennifer, I’ve been trying for a year to figure out just how to build my audience and I seem to be missing the mark. Good thing I’m not dependent on income from my own blogs to survive!

Wendy, I’m jealous! I would LOVE to hit that 100 a day number, is that unique visitors?

My blog is a week old, and has gone from 2 hits per day to 100 per day, thanks to social netwroking on Twitter and using sites like StumbleUpon. No profits as yet, but I am an affiliate for your book, so I’m sure I’ll see something soon!

The design (the template at least) needs to be improved, but it’s fine for now. Nice and clean.
