Hi Steve. I've been wondering for a while, why do you want to remove the ads from your site?
Just curious, since in the future I think I'm going to be relying quite heavily on non-pay-per-click advertising as a way to monetize my site, and I'm wondering if there's any reason why I shouldn't.
As for the coaching/consulting - surprisingly, I actually don't have any problem with the idea of those who want one-on-one consulting paying a high price for your time, even though I am very sympathetic to anyone who can't afford that (or any other extremely worthwhile but high-priced purchase).
I guess it doesn't bother me because the way I see it, every moment you spend on helping people privately and one-on-one may be depriving your gigantic audience of more wonderful free blog posts and whatever other one-to-many creations you might have used that time to produce. So, if someone wants to monopolize you, why shouldn't they pay extra?
Best wishes,
Apollia
