Ask HN: What is the best way to generate revenue on a blog
I am an owner of a blog that is having 100k page views & 60k unique visitors per month. I have not started to generate much revenue and was wondering what some people are doing to generate revenue on their blogs?

- greenyoda 11y agoThat assumes that the content is actually worth $1/read. For example, blogs with pictures of cute cats get huge amounts of traffic, but if they start charging for access, 100% of their visitors will go away and find the same content for free somewhere else in about ten seconds. Most technical blogs have the same problem: for example, if you have a blog about Python programming, you're probably one of thousands. It's hard to compete with all the free content that's out there.
