Your perfect blog monetization timeline will focus on maximizing revenue in each stage of your blog’s growth.

There are four distinct areas of focus:

1-90 days: High-end consulting (0-1,000 monthly site visitors) 90-180 days: Affiliate marketing (1,000-2,500 monthly site visitors) 180-365 days: Your first online course (5,000+ monthly site visitors) 365 days and beyond: Course memberships (10,000+ monthly site visitors)
It may seem counter-intuitive to start with consulting if you’re a brand new blog without much traffic. However, because you’re building relationships and treating your blog like a business, you can land high-end clients from day one.
