Does anyone have experience using the associates program on a wordpress blog? also, if it is easier to use blogger or something else, how can I avoid losing a lot of readers (especially the feed readers)if I make a switch? thanks!

(which you can do through google and blogger as well- it is $10 a year). If you go to your blogger dashboard, click the Settings tab, click Publishing there will be an option about redirecting it to a website. There will be a link to register one too if you do not have one yet. If you register a domain through that link, it will be configured to direct your blog to it. I just set my blog up with a brand new url! www.womanlyexcellence.com ! :) Rebekah–if you don’t want blogspot or typepad in your url, you will need to register a domain.

I know that I have gotten some traffic since I started a little over a month ago, but how do I increase this. I haven't started any money making activity on my blog. Getting it started was a big first step for me. Thanks so much for your series. I’m hoping that one of the tips that you will share is how to get your site out there so that readers find it.

I've had my blog for a few months now but I still have to remember that posting regularly is important. When I don't post another installment of one of my series, my readers tend to get antsy lol. I sometimes forget that people do regularly check my blog and love new posts. Thanks for doing this tutorial, Crystal! Thank you for posting this!

I'm enjoying it. You are totally right about blogging faithfully to keep readers coming back. It also has to be interesting:) There are some blogs that hardly ever post, and I hardly ever visit them. On the other hand, I tend to visit yours two to three times a day because I know there will be new posts! Bethany This is such a wonderful series idea. I’m enjoying it.

I love the people I have met through blogging and the lives you get to share in. Once you start a blog (and are consistent) you will be amazed at the connections you will make.

I just started a blog so my family could keep up on the little activities my son and I do and also to "score" some great deals. I just started it for fun but I'm glad to see you are doing a series on how to possibly turn it into profit. I'll definitely consider it once I figure out how the blogging set-up works! :) What great timing, Crystal!
