Are you making money from blogging in 2026?

My blog does have a fair amount of traffic, so maybe I can make money from ads? But then again, considering I’ve installed ad-blocking plugins myself…
 
Yes, people still make good money from blogging in 2026 but it takes time and consistency most monetize with affiliate marketing ads sponsored posts or digital products. Blogging is till a good low-cost start if you focus on useful content and SEO from the beginning
 
Are you guys still making money from blogging?

How do you monetize your traffic?

I wanna start a blog since it's cheaper than ai tools for a youtube channel...

Is this a good idea?
Google AdSense is Good for YouTube, but for blogging websites, it is Hard. 9+ years experience
 
If you have SEO knowledge and manage content quality, then you can start blogging, but it is true that it is a very slow process to earn money from blogging.
 
Most people now monetize through affiliates, ads, digital products or email lists.
Pure display ad blogs got hit pretty hard in a lot of niches lately.
 
Yeah, but it is slower than before. You need a real niche and a monetization plan before writing 100 posts. Common ways are affiliate offers, display ads, sponsored posts, selling leads, email list, or your own product/service. For a new blog, I’d avoid relying only on ads because you need a lot of traffic first.

It will be a good idea if you can stay consistent for months and target keywords with buying intent. If you just write random informational posts, it will be hard to earn much.
 
Still making money but nowhere near as easy as before tbh. Pure info blogs got hit hard, but niche sites with real traffic sources outside Google are still doing fine. Email lists + socials matter way more now than just SEO alone.

I think blogging can still work, but it definitely requires patience. Most people I know monetize through display ads, affiliate marketing or selling their own services. If you are willing to consistently publish useful content and play the long game, starting a blog can still be a good idea in 2026.
 
yeah, people still make money from blogging, but its kinda different these day. SEO is harder, but niche blogs with good traffic still work well and we cannot mention that most monetization now comes from affiliates, ads,.. so really consider your path bro
 
honestly, blogging + AI tools is probably the better combo for running ads these days, blogs are not give u a good conversion rate as before anm
