A Helpful List of Plugins for Monetizing a WordPress Site

While the focus of this blog is on how businesses can use blogging – and other social media – as part of their general business operation, rather than primarily as a direct income source, it is important for business bloggers to know what tools are available to assist in generating income via a blog.

For WordPress users there is a plethora of plugins – tools to extend the functionality of WordPress. I find myself a bit overwhelmed at times with all the plugins available, not having a solid frame of reference against which to measure their potential usefulness or otherwise. That’s been a challenge, because when I intend to monetize a site, I want to be able to use the most useful of the plugins and use them in the most effective way.

So I was pleased to pick up today a reference to a post, not recent but no less valuable for that, on the Lorelle on WordPress site – Monetizing WordPress Plugins.

Lorelle notes:

WordPress Plugins that add ads to your blogs may assign advertising blocks to specific areas, or allow you to customize where they appear. Others will automatically inject them between blog posts or within the post content itself.

And for those not sure where to start, there is another helpful, related post: How to Install, Configure and Use WordPress Plugins.
