Part 2/5:
Monetizing My Blog with Mediavine
Choosing the right ad network is crucial for any blogger. Historically, a significant portion of my earnings came from Google AdSense. However, for my current blog, I chose to monetize through Journey by Mediavine—an excellent choice for new blogs. Mediavine's standard requirements demand a monthly session count of at least 50,000, but Journey offers an entry point for newer blogs starting off with 10,000 sessions.
To my surprise, when I submitted my blog for approval, I only had 5,000 monthly sessions. This didn’t deter Mediavine, likely due to the quality of my traffic. The vast majority of visitors to my blog come from Pinterest, specifically from users in the United States—an advantage in attracting advertisers.
