How much did you pay for the theme if you mind me asking? How configurable is it? How many plug-ins do you have running? What are they? I find when people start blogging they can get a plug-in happy. When I started I had over 20 because everything looked so cool and would make my blog work so much better!

Can anyone recommend a good social media plugin for following/liking posts for the major social media sites? I've been using social sharing toolkit but for some reason whenever it's active, my sites go offline/time out due to a memory leak, so I need something that works without having my host throttling my CPU. Thanks!

In your shoes I'd probably look to Amazon associates to make some money. Don't push it too hard and use your perceived authority to flog stuff. Every few months review something related or do a "5 Best Telescopes" or something in your topic and throw in Amazon affiliate links. Where relevant I'd have a couple for books as well, "Interested in Phantom Loads? Check out this amazing book by Dave Ghost at Amazon its a really good overview of the topic". Might bring in a few extra

Try writing some articles that focus on stuff people buy. Maybe like buying guides or how to make things (and the parts you need to purchase). People spend a lot of money on tech hobbies so they to tap into that. In my opinion, advertising on SA might get you a few views but I doubt many sales (and I'm sure most people on SA have ad-blockers so they're not going to click on your display ads).

I "promoted my page". I didn't buy them on fiverr or something. I was under the impression that paying facebook to put your page in front of people that you've targeted with specific keywords was legit. That's what I meant by that.

I'd add an email subscription list. They're tougher to get than social followers but they're also much much much more likely to get the person to come back to your site when you update. Facebook has made it extremely hard to reach followers without paying them, Tweets have such a short shelf life, and nobody's on Google+.
