  Hi,

  I am wondering on what are the options available for the wordpress bloggers to make some returns?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Define “returns.”

  returns in terms of monetary value which can add up to my earnings.

  You are asking a goat to give you cow’s milk. If you wish to monetize your blog, you need to pay for hosting, install software from WordPress.com, apply to ad networks, and go from there.

  Got it. Do you have any recommendations on hosting and ad networks to be chosen?

  Not for free. What’s your budget for WordPress.org consultation.

  I am okay for couple of hundreds (say $500) and I’d like to conclude on budget based on the expected returns.

  FYI. My blog on average gets 1000+ views per day. I am planning to add up more time for blogging and expect higher (up to double) views in near future.

  I’d like to decide upon where to host my blog for better monetary returns.

  I’m not sure what ” I’d like to conclude on budget based on the expected returns” means. I don’t work on commission or on expectations of future gains. I bill out at $200 per hour, so if you’re interested, we can talk. If not, you can find recommendations of other consultants at WordPress.org.

  We do have an advertising program called WordAds, which you can read more about at http://wordads.co/

  Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:

  If you require other advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

  Please see this link to learn about the differences:

  We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested:
