It is more difficult when trying to think of something to write when the theme is more generalized (as is mine)

By the way, you can offer affiliate ads on your site too as well as your newsletter, but the newsletter ad has certain advantages.

I believe my hosting company (total choice) offers some features like this, I’ll check into it.
