Common mistakes when monetizing a blog include using too many ads, not understanding your audience, and relying on a single income stream.

One of the biggest mistakes bloggers make when monetizing is overloading their site with ads. While ads can bring in passive income, too many can disrupt the user experience and drive readers away. Another mistake is not knowing your audience well enough. If you promote products or services that don’t align with your readers’ interests, they’re less likely to engage with your content or make purchases. Relying on only one income stream is also risky. While affiliate marketing or display ads can be profitable, you should diversify by creating digital products, offering services, or incorporating sponsored posts. By combining different strategies, you can build a more stable and scalable income.
