Great list of resources for us to re-read and follow in the New Year. Your information is always worthwhile and adds to all of our success.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Great list Darren….some of those articles have really helped me in the past year. I can attest as I’ve passed that magic 30K number. Thanks for all your insight!!
Thanks for the list Darren. Nice to have a list of posts for one thing all put together.
After all making money is going to be a big focus for me in the new year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR MATE!!!!
Darren
Thanks for a great year of tips on this awsome website of yours. We have got to the point of developing a FREE eBook for our site, which will be launched in a few days and our first OWN PRODUCT (another, intensely rich content-stuffed eBook) which we plan to launch after building our list a little more!
Sincerely, thank you for all the great help you provide us bloggers. It is ALWAYS great to see a new post from ProBlogger!
Regards,
The Telesales Magic Team
Dear Darren
Great re-cap list, mate. Appreciated.
I must say, as my blogging has become a little more important to me this past year, I have found myself coming back to your site over and over again.
Your 31DTBBB eBook has changed the way I look at my blogging, and although I have worked through it a lot slower (because of other responsibilities) than I wanted to, it doesnt matter – bottom line is that I have learned a lot from it, and will continue to, I am sure.
Do I want to become a full-time blogger, no. But, would I like to be able to create great products and make some money through my blogs (whilst helping people with the content, such as yourself), of course!
Keep up the great work – we kinda depend on you!!!
Best,
Chris
I think all those posts have been very useful Darren, i guess most of them include selling your own product, this year many bloggers have started using ebooks and memberships to monetize their sites, I think banners and text links are dying fast and we’ll have to adopt to the new methods. I have written an article on monetizing your site using these methods, which I call as imperial methods, please do allow me to post this Darren http://dumblittleblogger.blogspot.com/2009/12/imperial-monetization-methods-for-your.html
By the way this year is going to be memorable as this is when I started to earn money and started my first blog.
Hiya Darren, nice list of posts there, will make some great reading over the next few days!

I wish everyone every success in 2010!
Awesome! Another great resource for us to build income. What a great New Year’s gift. Thank you!
Nice tips dude! I am looking forward to increasing my internet marketing income this year so it’s a great new years goal, thanks!
Great recap and I look forward to reading some money making tips in 2010
Happy New Year :)
Great list, Darren. I Think, I will focus on affiliate marketing the next year.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
I have read some of them, and I will continue the rest of them, they are good posts to be read at the new year holiday, thanks Darren.
Darren,
Your series of postings this week of The Best of ProBlogger links is really appreciated. I love having the best of the best all in one spot. It makes it very easy to re-read some of your best articles of 2009. Now, if only I can find the time to take more action on the great advice in the articles :-)
Hope you and your family are enjoying the holidays.
Karen
thanks Darren for providing such a useful information to us.
Hope this coming year will complete my dreams and helps me to start two more blogs.
It’s nice when you have the opportunity to have such a quality collection to list in one post
I’ve been especially curious about these amazon associates posts, now I am going to read them…
I may B-tich and moan about you probloggers all year long, but when it comes down to it Problogger.net provides the best Make Money content on the web.
I have #1 on my lost of goals for 2010 as well as other lofty dreams. :)
Just wonder the 12 posts above are the best hits of each of the month?
Anyway, Happy Blogging and Happy New Year!
Thanks for posting this list. I already read 5 of the list especially your experience in making money from Amazon that realized me to try on Amazon affiliate.
Thanks Darren, great re-cap list. I missed the one about the ebooks and that was just was I was looking for the other day! Always something great to read here!
Thanks for the great list of new articles, it will be a great help to my website and helping monetize it to make the most amount of money possible.
Nice recap. I’ll have to go back and refresh my memory on some of these…especially the Amazon Associates posts.
Nice list and I’ve purchased your 31 days to build a better blog. Is it wise to start few blogs at once or just start one and you stick with it ?
That’s twelve loads of Super-Awesome, Darren!! Thanks. I’ll have my “bloging manigir” (Blue Bunny) get started on those right away. So much to learn and incorporate, so much to look forward to.
I think the best blogging years for us all are still to come!
Hi Darren,
Thanks for the recap. It sure would be nice to be able to make $30,000 a year from blogging. I’ll work toward that goal in 2010. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Thanks for the reminder about these articles. I totally agree with number 1 creating your own product. I personally think that is critically to the success of anyone who wants to make a living online. Thanks again!
The other approach requires content depth and detail. This is an excellent example of timeless content with a focus on a very specific audience. Steve has written an article called, “How to Make Money from Your Blog” and I encourage anyone considering blogging for dollars to read this article.
Thanks for the recap. Just have to put more effort into writing and promoting, no easy way out.
It is so much fun to think you can make money doing something you love, like blogging.
I love to blog, but my blog is geared more towards helping independent business owners. This may not bring in the big bucks, but knowing I am helping someone else get their business off the ground is priceless.
Thanks for compiling some of the best post of his year.
nice resource, i have open it and would like to learn it one by one. I like the point no. 4 because it teach me to find a direct advertiser which will give a better benefit than the third party ads.
Thank for the info and i look forward for the next article
Thanks Darren for compiling such informative and helpful posts of yours in 2009. I have already gone through some of your previous posts which are in the list and have benefited from the reading. It’s going to be of much help for future reference as well. Will definitely bookmark this post !
