Hi everyone! I've recently launched a personal blog but have faced some challenges with monetization through AdSense. I tried to set it up, but after submitting my site, I got rejected due to low-quality content, partly because some of my blog posts originally appeared on Medium. I'm trying to work on improving the content, but I also learned that AdSense might require around 50,000 page views a month to be effective, which feels pretty far from my current stats of just under 2,000 unique visitors. I'm reaching out to see if anyone knows about ad networks that are more accommodating for smaller sites. My main goal is to earn a little money to cover domain renewals, rather than make a fortune. Any recommendations or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'm not fully up to date with the latest, but I do run a low-traffic page that gets about 10k visits a month. I only make around $30 from ads, so it's not a lot. If you’re looking for alternatives, I’d suggest researching some other ad networks that might cater to smaller audiences. What network are you using for those ads?
Honestly, AdSense is pretty much the only major option out there, but keep in mind that smaller sites often earn very little. The landscape for monetizing personal blogs has changed a lot over the years; it's much tougher now. That said, experimenting with it could be worthwhile, even if you don't expect huge returns.
