    Hi,

    I like the looks and ease of use of your product but I am wondering if this is the right software for my purposes, I truly enjoy writing about the things I know well, and instead of submitting to article sites for free, I thought starting a network of blogs, which when popular, I can earn from advert’s and selling links, and maybe affiliate marketing. So my question, is this the right route to go to monetize a blog site?

  • Can it be done? Yes (perhaps you’ve noticed how rare a blog without ads is these days?)

    Is it the right route to go to monetize a site? Beyond the scope of a support forum.

    Not sure what you mean, what I want to do is write quality articles on specific subjects, and if through some signature links, and other means of attracting traffic, I can generate some income, for some reason this is not right? I am very new at this, so patience please ??

    Like Handy said, beyond the scope of a simple forum question. You can find tons of info about monetizing a site. It’s not a new idea…..

    But yes, all the usual ways of chasing money on a site will work on WP.

    I don’t mean to sound thick here, and maybe I didn’t word this well, I guess I am asking, as far as licensing is concerned, seeing how I d/l’d it for free, from someone else’s hard work, and then I am going to make money on it, is this acceptable, or is there other license options I didn’t see, while reading some of the documentation, I thought I saw something (couldn’t find it again)that this was free to use as long as you don’t make money from it, I just do not want to infringe on anyone’s intellectual property!

    Thanks for the responses so far,

    TSG!

    Nope. Go nuts.

    You can use it any way you want to use it. Really. Monetize hell out of it, no one cares. Really. Go for it.

    Caveat: that’s IF you’re downloading the distro from the link at the top of the page and installing the blog on a domain name of your own under your own hosting account. If you’re wanting to use a wordpress.com hosted blog, no, you can’t generally use ads on one of those.

    Yes my domain, and my own hosting, thanks, that’s where I must have seen the info saying no monetizing using built in blog!

    you guys are great!

    Have fun – and more power to the monetizing!
