    In my opinion the best way when you start off is to write sponsored posts.

    I think, that before monetizing a new blog, it needs to have a little popularity at all :). Most sponsored posts programms accepts blogs, which are older than 3 months. It has some sense because some peoples give up blogging after writing 3-4 posts, because "they have nothing more to say", or just thought it would be funnier/better etc.

    My advise - wait a little longer, remove/keep the Adsense for a little revenue and let Your blog have some more content in it.

    Also, You can try things like matched.co.uk with new blogs - if You'll be lucky you should be matched in a few days with advertiser. Plus, find one affiliate program and keep with it - posting their service :).

    From how many visitors a month you can start thinking about monetizing a blog?

    I heard that when you have over 1000 visitors a day you can start monetizing it...what's your experience?

    For most of padi to post programs blog has to be 3 months old and have at least 1 post/week, so to get accepted to that kind of prgrams blog should have minimum 12 posts. Altought i think, that it is not difficult to write something in Your blog more often, for example 1 post/1-2 days.

    Also, it is somewhat important the quality of content - setting up WP-O-Matic and posting rss feeds from somewhere else will get You nowhere - I understand having one post for couple of days from RSS feeds, but i should not be Your primary content source (I actually think of setting Wp-O-Matic to post 1 per 3-4 days one post from good source, ofcourse giving some credits to them in return :) )

    Link sales would be hard for a new blog given that it has no PR :)

    The best way to monetize your blog is by adding adsense and TTZ media ads.
    Also go for Sposored reviews ,pay per post,etc.

    A handy constant 1000 visitors a day are enough to get 10$ a day or 6$ a day.

    And this trick works for me.

    I have to agree with you. The last thing you should be thinking about with a new blog is making money from it. You should be doing everything you can to promote it and increase the number of subscribers.

    I doubt a new blog will ever become successful if it starts posting sponsored reviews near the start of it's life.

    Snapbomb has a bunch of good opportunities available right now. That being said, a new blog will probably have a low valuation (Snapbomb values based on traffic and other factors). So like the others have already said, you should try to build up traffic by writing good posts!
