Monetizing Wordpress - Share your experience.

[SimpleDomaining]

I would like to put together a little brainstorming from all of you regarding the subject. We are all here for profit. Because not all of us are developers of one and only site, majority is keep buying domains and want to get the most out of them while they are in our hands. Not all of us are developing domains, some just parking. But for regular people, that familiar with wordpress and who would like to see domaining not as a hobby, but as a regular monthly income solution, we need to come up with some proven checklist of fast technique of monetizing websites. Assuming most of us use the easiest way to put site together such wordpress, i am asking you to put your 2 cents into this subject.
Putting aside the importancy of SEO and social networks, since we all know it is the must... but before you even get to seo....there are some MUST be steps to setup 100% monetizing ready site fast. so here are my questions.

• what would be the MUST to have list of plugins to legitimately automate the product and content updates on site.
• what would be the MUST affiliate program to be included in (we talking about ones that are as automated as it gets)
• what would be the MUST to have backlinks to go for.
• what would be THE place to go sell ad spaces to.
• add your what would be MUST... also.

at the end we will summarize and put together a nice to do checklist created by professional domainers, based on their experience on what works, what doesnt.

You need original content. Otherwise this is a waste of time - your are setting up restaurants on a ship with no passengers.

thats the obvious one of course, however, i am asking about a checklist that is 1 step before we got into the content development, kinda a frame you put together then fill it up.
