What are the best methods to monetize a blog in 2025?

Try affiliate products like yogurt makers, kitchen gear, and sell recipe ebooks.

I’m still making money from my blog through AdSense, but my earnings have been declining as traffic has decreased compared to before. I’m considering shifting toward affiliate marketing because I believe AI-powered search will have a significant impact on website traffic in the future.

You could also create short recipe videos and use them to bring traffic back to the blog instead of relying only on ads.

My niche is all about yogurt, and I applied for Google Ads but the results are very low. Do you have any other monetization ideas?

Propose customized strain specific starter culture kits as affiliates or offer printed starter kits that were available for purchase. small niches such as yogurt flourish through targeting dedicated hobbyists using high intent digital methods rather than passive readers looking for free recipes online.
