Display ads: The OG of blog monetization, and still a solid income source. Think those banner ads and sidebar ads you see on websites. Set them up, and earn passive income every time someone views or clicks them. Blog monetization 101, simplified.
Google AdSense is the king of display ad networks. Easy to set up – apply, get approved, paste code on your blog, ads appear. Other networks exist (Mediavine, AdThrive – higher traffic requirements, higher payouts). Placement matters – above the fold, within content, sidebar – experiment to optimize earnings.
Content is still king – more traffic = more ad views = more money. SEO, social media, email marketing – drive traffic! Ad revenue isn’t glamorous riches, but it’s consistent, passive income. Think of it as digital spare change that adds up over time. Display ads: Monetize your blog while you sleep (or write more awesome content!).
