Ask HN: Ethical ads providers to monetize personal blog

9 points

4 years ago

I've just started my personal blog (link in bio), never done this before, but I'm looking forward to eventually get some money from my blogging activities. My first idea was to serve some ethical ads - I don't want anything that tracks the visitors, obviously. Something like a sponsorship banner, or, maybe, a precisely targeted context ad with the exact hit to the tune of my blog.

I'm talking about something like the banners in the header of FastAPI website[1], look pretty neat. Is it just cold emailing for those, who use the said framework, or are there providers of such sponsored banners?

Where should I look for the advertisers providing ethical ads? Which companies have you dealt with? I'm aware of EthicalAds.io[2], but it looks like I'd have to be an established publisher to qualify.

Maybe, you'll advise against serving such ads and share your experience of utilizing some other type of blog monetization?

Thanks in advance!
