Last time I looked into making money [1] with my website, the hot idea was text ads; [2] small, unobtrusive advertising using text only. Nice idea, but I haven't heard much since November.
Now, via InstaPundit.com, [3] comes An Entirely Serious Proposal Regarding Blogging, Payment, and E-Mail [4] whereby a person running a weblog makes money by responding to email!
Nice, if you get tons of email. While I've received some email related to entries here (thanks! Sorry I haven't responded), I haven't been innundated with so many entries as to drown me. I don't think I've had enough to drown a hampster.
Ah well …
