Darren: At a recent book reading at SXSW I spoke briefly about a new chapter in the new ProBlogger book (due out next month) that is a case study of my main blog (4-5 bigger than ProBlogger) – Digital Photography School … I thought it might be a good idea to include a new chapter that examined how I’ve developed the blog so far.

The case study looks at 4 main aspects:

  1. How I launched the blog: the 4 foundations that I build in years 1-2
  2. How I built upon the foundations: what I focused upon in years 3-4
  3. How I monetize the blog
  4. The way I use email to drive traffic to and monetize the blog

I did monetize the site from day 1 and dPS was profitable from the first month or two – but it was not my main focus. Rather I focused upon the … 4 foundations and let the monetization grow naturally as traffic and reader engagement grew.
