Monetization for blogs with small traffic

When your site has a very small traffic or relatively next to nothing, I truly don't advice you to monetize it right away, but if the money is tight and if you have a lot responsibilities on your head then you can use some methods to monetize your site, but of course I can't guarantee that you can make thousands of dollars, but yes you will make up to $50 to $60. 


There are many newbie bloggers who start blogging with no good capital, so I thought if these bloggers could make up at least $50 to $60 from their blogs, they could use it for advertising and promoting their blogs, that is why I decide to write this post. Below I'm gonna offer some useful methods of monetization for small blogs, once your blog starts to grow you can switch over.
