Monetize your blog too soon or too late?

A lot of bloggers ask the question if they should monetize their blog as soon as it is set up or wait until it gets a good amount of traffic then eventually monetize it. I usually monetize my blog early. When I was new in blogging, I initially monetize my blog with PPC. But I’ve waited for about one to three days until I learned how to set up adsense. There was no one to teach me about Adsense so I had to learn about it on my own. When I finally learned how Adsense works, I signed up and installed it immediately. I only have less than 15 posts for two months and my adsense earnings was awful. It made me wonder, did I monetize my blog too soon.

Then eventually after a few months, when my blog grew, I discovered that you could sell ad spaces on your blog for more money. I began offering my ad spots for private advertisers. The ad spots sold so fast that it made me wonder, did I monetize my blog too late?

Here are my takes on monetizing blogs too soon or too late.

Download Mac Games

Are you looking for a site wherein you could download mac games such as Mac solitaire and iPhone games? Although the download mac games site has modest design, it has a huge collection of Mac games and prizes starts from $3. What’s even better is you get to download free trial of the game so you will get the feel of the game prior to the purchase. The user are given one hour of free gaming trial to test it then eventually buy it if they like it. There are a lot of gaming categories you could choose from. If you are into role playing games (RPG) you could browse the adventure games. Or, you just want to educate yourself and your kids further, you could always browse in the Kids & Learning or Puzzle and Logic category.

The following are the complete category list in Download Mac Games:

Adventure
Cards, Casino, Board
Kids & Learning
Puzzle,Logic
Simulation
Sports and
Miscellaneous

How I wish they could redesign the site though. Although white is a perfect choice as a base color, it wouldn’t hurt if they would add more color and increase the fonts size.

With Download Mac Games, you could now enjoy games that you play in Windows is not available in Mac.
