I think you can already see it with a lot of those networks. Ads aren't enough to support a lot of them, anyway, once they outgrow the free servers.
* Some write books, and self-advertise those to readers
* Some sell equipment or crafts, etc.
* Some link with IRL events
Though your conversion rates around these sorts of things tends to be lower than ad-clicks or views, the returned gains are much higher. However, bloggers tend to do these things as a network. (Split costs/profits, etc).
