Monetize your blog without the annoying ads

It’s a fact that many bloggers look to generate income from their blogs through display advertising. But it’s also true that many bloggers view these ads as annoying necessities that clutter their website and, potentially, tarnish their reputations. With the decline in click-through rates and the lack of control over ads provided by 3rd party platforms such as Google Adsense, blog ads seem even less useful as a monetisation tool.

Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is, that many bloggers decide to stick a Google banner on their blog because it’s easy- not because it’s especially profitable or good for their overall reputation/personal brand. The alternatives are hard. Creating an e-book requires a huge time investment, as does creating a real world speaking event or seminar (not to mention the costs of renting event space).

This was an issue we wanted to address. We wanted to empower bloggers to generate revenue by letting them share their knowledge and expertise directly with their community. To enable this, we’ve created an ultra-light, browser-based video chat tool with payments management built right in – buzzumi.com.

What this means is that instead of cluttering your blog with banner ads you have little control over, you can now easily and quickly set up paid consultations, group chats and webinars for your readers. They get to interact with you directly, the blogger they trust and enjoy reading. You get to make money talking about what you care about. It’s win-win. Best of all you can create free-to-attend video chats and webinars at no cost, if you create a premium chat or webinar buzzumi.com handles all the payments for you for just a 10% commission.

We believe that buzzumi.com will change the way bloggers monetize their knowledge. We’d love you to give it a try and let us know your thoughts.
