hi ron,
good question.
donations don't work--ask anyone in this group with a donation button on their site.
subscription fees don't work -- unless they are tiny tiny tiny($3/month), and you target a large niche willing to pay.
the road is paved by people entertaining us freely. most internet newbies will expect even more entertainment and education for free.
to forgo all ads and spons means you can try selling other items that are of value to supplement your free materials but is there a downside to that? some leading videobloggers call that
"referral" or "affiliate" money and are idealistically opposed to even doing that. so I look forward to hearing more options.
