Sure, best alternative for recipe blog is Mediavine, but you have to have 100K pageviews which is hard to achieve.

And they only accept English sites.

I'm faaar away from those 100k pageviews, atm this site ranges from 500-1000 pageviews per month, started it in January.

Oh I forgot to mention, my site is in Norwegian :(

500-1000 pageviews is very less. It is hard to make any good money with this.
 
As I know, to apply in ezoic you must have 10k page views in month.
Be happy that adsense applied you, because it has much more income than other systems.
Try to find low competition keywords and write well than first page results.
Best wishes
 
Try PropellerAds, Adcash, Adsterra, HilltopAds, Admaven. Probably some of them will be suitable for you

Why not sell your own products?

Start small, maybe a $1 offer.

The reason why I encourage you to come up with your own product is because nobody knows your traffic better than you do.

You know what kind of specific recipes most of your traffic is interested in.

You might want to offer something that is highly specialized for that taste and this opens the door for a long term relationship.

One dollar isn't much so there's less likely to be friction for them to buy a product and get on your mailing list.

The key is to get them on your list so you can sell to them many times over.

And I'm not just talking about other further products you come up with, but also affiliate products involving kitchenware, specialty spices and ingredients, that kind of thing.

Another reason why I suggest that you offer your own products is you have a lot of control.

The typical affiliate program basically puts you at the mercy of the product creator's ability to sell.

What if they can't sell squat?

You have to settle for their lousy conversion rate.

When you sell your own products, not only are you in control of the product, which means you're in control of the refund rate.

You are also in control of the sales page so you get to position your product in the most optimal way.

You are in control of the total sales experience from content consumption all the way to product purchase.

That's power.

So I would suggest that you go down that route.

It doesn't cost much money.

It just takes time to fine-tune so you can get the high conversion rate that would make this all worthwhile.

I strongly disagree, with 500 visitors to a recipe site you can't even get opins for free lead magnet. You need 1k visit per day to do anything.
Also if you got info posts like recipe people are not in buying mode. They want to read recipie and bounce. You need commercial and transactional posts for them to buy anything.
 
I would suggest focusing on building your traffic more than trying to profit.

Use reddit and Facebook to boost your traffic.

On Reddit, post recipes from your site and see if you can link to it OR maybe start a 'food news' section and share the news on Reddit

On facebook, i'd say try sharing photos of food more but the photo have to be on your own brand page.. Then have content / links to your other content on that brand page.


As far as cashing out. I'd agree with the suggestion above in trying to sell product on your own site. See what's trending on eBay and launch pages for those product with written content . Try to get those pages ranking and if you do, you will start earning.
