One of the best pieces of blogging advice that I've read is: Your blog isn't your business. A blog supports a business.
So the big question is: "What is your business?"
Related questions:
- What does your business sell?
- How can your blog draw customers to your products and then convert curiosity to sales?
Unless you're already famous or have a very unique proposition, you're going to need to have products that people want/need. Simply putting up blog posts and hoping that fractions of pennies per adclick are going to amount to something worth your time isn't going to work these days.
From your previous posts, you could consider an offshoot of one of these ideas:
- How recent immigrants can transition more easily to a new country (ebook, online course, etc.)
- How to pass your citizenship test (ebook, online course, etc.)
- How to deal with the US Immigration system (ebook, online course, etc.)
- How to NOT get back to a detention center (ebook, online course, etc.)
- How to get work at a detention center (ebook, online course, etc.)
- Teaching strategies for Inner City Teachers - what you didn't learn in college! (ebook, online course, etc.)
Go beyond your ideas to think about how you could monetize it. Best of luck.
