This is where the rise of Patreon is huge. Kill the ads. Get supported for your work directly. If she's getting 100,000 page views A DAY, and she's been writing for over a decade, I'm sure she could get enough subscribers to overtake her ad (native included) revenue.

I'm sure she could get enough subscribers That's making it about acquiring readers, though. She always had those...the problem is how to make blogging pay. And if you have subscribers, then you're producing content for them which kills the point of a blog for some people (i.e, "monetizing parenthood").

    And I'd follow with creating incentives for people to actually pay for the content. Relying on charity isn't a sustainable source of income in general case.
