Even if you have a $0 budget you can find people to work for you through high school and foreign student internship programs. Once you have a budget, you can bring people on board for as little as one hour a day (what I first did) and then increase their hours when you can afford it. You need to be spending your time working on the business and not in the business.

Although the thought is appreciated(thanx Stern) I really value comments more than ad clicks. That's why I dropped google ads and moved to sponsored ads paying per impression. Subscribe to me if you find me relevant, don't throw pennies...

Clicking on ads for the sake of clicking ads doesn't help anyone. Only click on ads you're actually interested in.

Brand advertisers are looking for scale and engagement, these are the guys who pay the big bucks. So increasing your scale, getting more visitors and readers, is an important part of the equation. Spreading the word about your favorite blogs is a very powerful way to expand a particular blogs audience and, in turn, increase the potential value to advertisers.

imagine it is five years from now, isp's charging by the gb, a ton of streaming stuff, online advertising has marginal returns, maybe 300 million blogs, still the same 24 hours in the day ...

what do you think will be the appropriate compensation technique? ...

microsubscriptions? i would happily put a hundred dollars a month into a pot, and have it dispersed to every blog i spent more than five minutes on in that month .. ten thousand people giving me a penny every month at least pays for my habit...

I think Allen would disagree with you and say that you need to directly monetize your appreciation. For the record, I don't agree with him 100% on that.

Commenting on posts is my way of compensating content creators. :-) As far as clicking on ads, that's not always the best way - for example, some of my ads are not performance based but rather are a flat monthly rate.
