		<description>I couldnt agree more. If your goal is monetization, choose your product carefully. And products can be many things, not necessarily the traditional definition.</description>

		<description>I agree providing value is what matters.  I am not as convinced humor and fun don&#039;t provide value.  Even after you provide value, if you want to earn income from users your efforts you need to be able to monetize the value provided.  Some things are easier to monetize than others.  I think a problem with many popular blogs is successfully monetizing the value they provide. 

I think it is important to realize the problem you are trying to solve.  If the problem is you are not providing value that requires very different action than if you are not able to monetize the value you are providing.
