The following clip would definitely answer all your questions and would help you in many ways.
Hmm interesting video, I just wonder how you could actually sell your merchandise. I mean not every blog/website would cater specific needs. The blog shown in the vid is a coffee blog so you would generally associate coffee mugs with it but what about other kind of blogs with a wide variety of topics. Yes, I guess you should also try to provide a source of income to the users and also make money out of it for example http://www.okpay.com is a website which is an e-wallet service but also doubles up as a source of income by its referral system. You could write reviews on these kind of websites, will be really useful for your readers too given the fact that they would like some money to buy your merchandise. Also how would THIS very site sell merchandise, I mean what kind of merchandise? Tech blog = their logo on tech products? doesnt sound convincing enough, what do you say Aman?
