[QUOTE="ElCamino, post: 76737578, member: 440896"] And not only that, I don't think any ad service will accept a site with no traffic. I think Amazon requires at least 3 sales from your affiliate links within 6 months to keep you on their program. 3 sales don't sound like a lot, but it's not always easy to build a big enough audience to generate sales. This is the main reason I won't rush into monetizing the content. Well, that wouldn't be too good for the site for sure. AdSense won't be my first option necessarily, I'm considering Ezoic and MediaVine. I've read they're the "best" for content blogs, but I'm not sure if they serve ads for non-English websites (they should, but you never know). The problem with those platforms is that you need to have at least (I think) 10k monthly visitors to get approved, so it may take me a while to get there; I might need to use AdSense until I reach those traffic numbers. I already have an approved AdSense account. I created it a long time ago, when it was really easy to get approved. All you needed was a Blogger website and you were good to go. You're still right though, you need to get individual approval for each site you want to monetize, and that can take months indeed. That's probably the main reason I didn't try content websites for a long time actually. I usually block ads too because of performance (and security) concerns. I've read so many stories of success though, that it seems that it's still possible to make good money with content sites, even with ad blockers. Worst case scenario, I can learn a lot about SEO and that would help me in my web development business. That's a great idea, thanks. :) I definitely don't plan to rely 100% on Google (or any third party platform.) My first content website will probably be in the fitness niche, which is super competitive, but after doing some keyword research I think I can create content that can rank high on Google (in Spanish). It's content that is easy to promote on social media too, so that's another option in case Google doesn't trust my website. And yes, I could eventually contact personal trainers, gyms, or I could promote Clickbank products. You never run out of monetizing or content ideas with this niche, the real problem is to cut through the noise. Well, they don't always do. :D But that's sort of the point, even if I don't succeed with my own websites, I could end up becoming a "teacher". I think most people who sell MMO or marketing products make most of their money selling those products, and not actually applying their knowledge for themselves. There are a lot of scammers too, but if I end up going this route; I'll be as honest as possible, which will probably cost me money (like it does now with my current business). I always go to sleep with a clean heart and mind though. Thank you so much! :) [/QUOTE]
