I have worked on a few websites that are bringing in about 200 unique visitors a day combined. I never really did much to monetize them.

I have identified at least two products I want to sell that should be of interest to my general audience. The visitor patterns are pretty diffuse; some come in to read this article, some to that, some to the other. I want to make a generalized funnel that will bring them to a single sales page.

I was thinking I could use something like the twitter "Follow Me" banner you see on the 4 Hour Work Week Blog (in the right hand margin): The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss

Only, I would want something maybe a little bigger and attention-grabbing that links to an internal page instead of twitter. Is there an easy way to implement this with Wordpress?

You can also put google adsense or other ad networks on your sites to earn some extra cash!
Good luck and make big money!

Oh, I have tried adsense. Makes at most a few cents a day. I know there is plenty of strategy besides just slapping it on there, but I feel like selling a relevant product would be more effective -- I think it will mar the look of the sites less than adsense and deliver a more interesting product.
