What’s the best monetization strategy for small blogs (<10k visits/month)?

I tried slicing up my blog by topic and pushing specific offers or mentioning products I’d actually used, and that did more for my wallet than running random ads ever did. Segmenting by interest really helped with building an email list too, since people actually wanted updates about the stuff they cared about. For link insertions, I got a decent side hustle going just by pitching to folks in my niche on Telegram.

bro i feel u. small traffic is hard to monetize. hope u find what works. keep grinding.

Under 10k visits, I’d focus on affiliate offers or a small digital product rather than display ads. With low traffic, earnings per visitor matter more than pageviews.
