Seeking idea$ on monetizing my cooking & music website$?

I'm a long-time YouTuber and have several websites (and a blog) but... a totally rookie with making money from IM.

My model has been primarily real-world (shows, retail merch etc.), so I've never really focused on monetizing any of them - until now - and this forum seems like it's populated with some very talented people who are very familiar with doing exactly that. Gotta love BHW right?

I think my content is pretty solid, including videos I've shot of misc. rockstars, national TV spots, nice photos, etc. but what to do with it to generate revenue? FYI, I can always shoot more video & photos, write content, etc. towards this.

I think I'm a little too new to add links here yet but happy to furnish them for your review if/when you PM me.

Cheers,


Chef
