Blogging.

I have lots of posts that rank well for obscure technical terms in programming languages and computer science.

I have a comfortable job (I'm a prof in CS), so I don't really need the extra money, but to my surprise, I get about $300/month now.

That's up from $10/month a year ago.

If it keeps growing like that, I won't be able to "ignore" it for much longer.

At the moment, I'm doing it all with Google AdSense and book referrals to Amazon.

I'm sure if I spent more time on it, I could do a better job of monetizing it.

But, I'm not even sure what I'd do next.



Yeah, dude - get direct advertisers and you can probably bump that up to $3k/mo.


Selling my own ads seems like a lot of work.

Any advice?
