Default Blog content, what to sell and what to post

Hey linda sorry if this might not be in the right category I didnt see one for content.
Here's my question:
When it comes to blog content what should you just post and share and what should you really be packaging as a product for sale.
My general position on this is, is that when I am writing (posting) I'm posting about something I have figured out how to do. Some of the posts run in series one in particular is about 10 posts long.
I have had a few emails suggesting that I am nuts for posting some of it and should be selling it.
Which brings me to my next point. What should I be selling as my own product. I dont mean what product should I be selling, i mean in terms of content. I have a guides and ebooks page where I occasionally will produce something in pdf format to give away to those who might be interested and some stuff I use as an enticement to get an email. (I havent begun monetizing my list-more, interested in buildng a rapport at this point).
I guess my main objection misguided as it maybe is that I really dont wanna look like some scum bag scammer snake oil peddling moron.
My other notion might be misguided as well is that if I can figure something out then for sure just about anyone else can. I'm not the brightest bulb on the tree. I just work at it until I figure out what works. (blue collar showing in me I suppose)
What research I have done on this idea shows that arent any real solutions to this problem I have figured out, when I was trying to get it right and didnt really get any answers to my questions so I had to go about it on my own.
So now that I have an answer to this problem my question still remains should I just do a post series or should I really be selling it.
