My niche is beer, and I started 12 months ago.
Here are my pathetic stats:

- aged domain, 170 articles - total traffic from Google is 800 pv per month
- Pinterest - consistently pinning 10 pins per day, text overlay, link to an article on the blog, descriptions, call to action, different links - I get 1 visitor per day
- Facebook Page - 15k followers - I post 4 times a day, link posts and link in posts, also have a subscriber button - I get 3 visitors per day
- Facebook Group - 3k members - I post 10 times a day, virtually no traffic to my blog
- I live in a country that does not allow Facebook Monetizat Ion
- Twitter - stuck at 1k followers - nobody clicks on links
- Instagram - 4k followers - nobody clicks
- Newsletter - 1k subscribers, 27% open rate, 3% CTR, on beehiiv, I make $15 per month via boosts and ads; my newsletter popup with lead magnet has a success rate of 0.001%, I get 1 subscriber per week, at the most
- I have my own Amazon Storefront, I make about $2 per month
- website is monetized with ezoic - my epmv is $2, even with 95% traffic from the United States; ezoic support told me that they can't find advertisers in the alcohol niche.


What the hell should I do? I am not giving up.

Instead of having several sources, choose one, study it, scale it, and then go on to the next one.

Which one you choose is determined by your previous experience and enthusiasm.

Furthermore, monetization in specific niches may differ. So you should undertake some competition study to understand how other people monetize similar niches to yours.

You need tracking software to see what is working and what is not; failing to use such a tool is like to becoming blind. I'm wondering whether you're spreading yourself too thin across all of the social media sites. Wouldn't it be preferable to focus on the ones that are functioning and producing results, no matter how small?

You're doing great! You're on the right track, and it's clear you know what you're doing. Still, I think a little bit of organization, especially around keywords, could take things to the next level.

Here’s what I would do if I were you.

Since you’ve already got a solid foundation, it’s important to get in on the type of keywords you want to target and how to structure your articles around that.

First, grab a SemRush account from the Misc section here on BHW. You can find one for $6 to $8, and even if it only lasts you two weeks, that’s all you’ll need.

Spend about 5 - 10 days creating a strategy that revolves around the keywords and content you plan to publish over the next 6 months to a year. But before that, do a full audit of your site. See which keywords are already performing well and which ones aren’t.

Then, come up with a list of around 100 solid keywords that you can base articles on. Schedule these out, and try to aim for 1 article every 3 days. Just make sure you’re not overstuffing keywords. Use the main keyword in the first paragraph, and rely on tools like RankMath to help you optimize things smoothly.

Try to add simple, minimalistic images every 200 - 250 words. Add FAQs (super easy to do in WordPress), write solid meta descriptions, and keep your titles concise.

Another idea is to start a YouTube channel. You can easily create hundreds of quick videos using Canva and schedule them out for the year. Since your niche is beer, you can make some fun and interesting shorts, things that will grab attention and make people want to click.

Focus on engaging your community as much as you can. Be present, get that interaction going, and even consider doing some small, real giveaways. It’s a tried-and-true method that really boosts engagement across social platforms.

You might want to step back from Pinterest though, it’s probably not the best fit for your niche. Instead, share those YouTube clips across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (TikTok) to maximize your reach.

Consistency is key. If you can, invest in some quality backlinks, or try reaching out to people in your niche for link exchanges, it’s a great way to grow.

There’s more to it, but in a nutshell, focus on keywords with a difficulty of up to 25 KD and mostly around 1k searches. Of course, if you find some with 10k+ searches and low KD, don’t shy away from them either.
