The first $100 from a media brand

Ads pay only after traffic is steady, so the first money from a media brand usually comes from somewhere else.

• A small product that fits the topic: a guide, a checklist, a pack.
• Disclosed affiliate links on pages where a recommendation genuinely helps.
• A sponsor slot once the audience is clearly defined, labelled as sponsored.
• An email list from day one, so you are not renting your whole audience from a platform.
