Here&#8217;s what John shares about monetizing a blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>My advice to bloggers looking to monetizing a blog is to narrow down what they offer. I fell into this trap in the beginning where I wanted to offer all kinds of help, numerous services, and consulting options.<\/p><p>Even though it did work, it became way to confusing to my readers and it became a big a pain in the ass to maintain and promote everything.<\/p><p>So, instead of offering 5 courses, offer 2, instead of offering 5 services, offer 1 or 2.<\/p><p>This makes it less confusing to your potential clients, customers and makes it much easier for YOU to maintain and promote.<\/p><p>Much easier to maintain and promote 2 or 3 things then it is to promote 10 things.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-8-karl-kangur-monetizepros\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Karl_Kangur_MonetizePros\"><\/span>8.

I have been a hardcore smartphone user; I can easily analyze the growth and see how people quickly migrated from desktop to mobile for most of their activities. So the trick is to monetize your blog&#8217;s mobile website without hurting the readers, because those ads shouldn&#8217;t bother your readers in any way, let it be loading speed or reading experience.<\/p><p>If your majority of mobile users are browsing through Chrome browser, then show some ads related to Chrome. Repeat the same for all the browsers and operating systems.

When Should You Start to Monetize Your Blog?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The answer to this question depends on a few different factors, but in general, you should start looking into monetization options once your blog has a steady readership. <br\/><br\/>If you wait too long to monetize a blog, you could miss out on potential earnings, but if you start too early, you might not have enough traffic to generate significant income. Once you&#8217;ve considered your blog&#8217;s traffic and reader engagement, you can start researching ways to monetize your site.<br\/><br\/>A major reason why monetizing a blog in the very begining may not succeed is due to the lack of trust from your readers. If it&#8217;s someone&#8217;s first time visiting your blog, and you have yet to build up a significant readership, then it&#8217;s unreasonable to expect them to put their trust in you right away. <br\/><br\/>Trust is essential when it comes to recommending products and services as an affiliate, or selling your own products and services. It&#8217;ll be much easier to do so when you have an audience that trusts you completely.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We asked some of the most prolific pro bloggers and monetization experts about how to monetize a blog As a blogger or web publisher, you&#8217;re probably aware of just how&nbsp;difficult it can be to understand the nitty-gritty details about how to monetize a blog.

What topics can you offer valuable insights on? <br\/><br\/>Third, what topics are popular within the blogging community? What topics are people searching for information on?<br\/><br\/>Once you've considered all of these factors, you can start to narrow down your options and choose a niche that you'll be able to write about consistently and passionately. Once you're done finding a niche to monetize a blog that meets the aforementioned criteria, you'll be well on your way to successful blogging!","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/18-pro-bloggers-share-their-monetization-strategy-for-2016\/#faq-question-1670588615255","position":6,"url":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/18-pro-bloggers-share-their-monetization-strategy-for-2016\/#faq-question-1670588615255","name":"6. When Should You Start to Monetize Your Blog?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The answer to this question depends on a few different factors, but in general, you should start looking into monetization options once your blog has a steady readership. <br\/><br\/>If you wait too long to monetize a blog, you could miss out on potential earnings, but if you start too early, you might not have enough traffic to generate significant income. Once you've considered your blog's traffic and reader engagement, you can start researching ways to monetize your site.<br\/><br\/>A major reason why monetizing a blog in the very begining may not succeed is due to the lack of trust from your readers. If it's someone's first time visiting your blog, and you have yet to build up a significant readership, then it's unreasonable to expect them to put their trust in you right away. <br\/><br\/>Trust is essential when it comes to recommending products and services as an affiliate, or selling your own products and services. It'll be much easier to do so when you have an audience that trusts you completely.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}},"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"link","format":"url"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6069"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6069"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6069\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32876,"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6069\/revisions\/32876"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.adpushup.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
