I think it's looking pretty goo so far. You can get plenty of suggestions here, I'm sure, but the most important input should be from your market. You want to know who they are, exactly what they want and give it to them.
I'm not sure if it's just my browser, but your sidebar is showing completely blank and a bit odd for that reason. You can do a lot with the sidebar area. I think if I were doing a site like this I'd go for a calculatedly cluttered look for pages. My favorite hobby shops have always been those with interesting things to see everywhere-- and stacked to the ceiling. Have you ever walked into a very sparse hobby shop? It's not nearly as fun. A hobby website probably has the same effect on a hobby buff.
I believe I had a Batmobile exactly like the one on your main page.

I would love to have some input as to what else I should do to monetize my site to get some residual income coming in .... I do have 2 affiliates so far ... I am working on finding more. What else could I do?

Hi Allen,
I enjoyed browsing through your site! I would change "The Slot Connection" to "Slot Car Collectibles". That would get a lot more attention and clicks. Are you an eBay affiliate?
In your sidebar navigation you only have Archives (by date). You can change that to show your categories instead. Then add more posts featuring individual products. This will allow you to optimize pages/posts for the products you're recommending, which will bring in more buying search traffic. ;-)

Thanx Lynn and yes I am a Ebay affiliate and one of my other affiliates are in my sidebar navigation. Im still looking for more to add.

You might consider looking into CJ.com (Commission Junction) as well as Google Adsense. :)

I am setup with CJ ... i just need to get my butt in gear and get things on the site ... I am also looking into Google Adsense as well. What about ppc?
-
PPC is not a way to make money, but rather a paid advertising option. PPC = pay per click, where you pay for every click through on your ad, such as with Google Adwords.

Thanx Lynn :) I'm looking into every avenue to monetize my site. I just got 2 more affiliates! :) Im always looking for more affiliates and updating the site as I go.
-
Way to go - sounds like you're moving forward at good speed. :)

When you update your main blog ... is there anyway to have all my other sites update at the same time like Twitter instead of going into each site to add the same post?
