How to monetize
Launch Your Products
The idea I propose this time is to market your product line (beyond the usual coffee mugs, t-shirts and caps), without having to create the products yourself or having to manage orders and shipments.
"There is a greater opportunity in e-commerce for creators to launch their own direct products or services without necessarily needing the collaboration of an (already famous) brand.
Bridging the gap between brands and creators, new startups like Merch and Pietra allow creators to create their own product lines "out of the box" by collaborating directly with established suppliers. "

Monetize Your Newsletter
There are those who say that it is necessary to have a very large audience (80,000 or more) to monetize newsletters.
I don't see it that way.
You can definitely sell sponsorships and announcements in newsletters of only 500 or 1000 subscribers (I know because I bought them).
As long as the public has a very specific interest (and the quality of the content is above average) you can propose a space within the newsletter to highlight a product or service.
"Grow your free list first, by monetizing through ads or affiliate deals.
Then it uses the profits to develop that niche memberships
the people on your free list are willing to pay.
The value does not scale linearly with the size of the list.
You don't need a huge list to make millions of dollars. "

Monetize with Less than 1000 Subscribers
Being economically viable by posting content online is absolutely possible and doesn't require you to be a genius.
The key ingredients are:
Action
as long as you wait, nothing will happen
Relation
with companies, experts and products with which you have a strong affinity
(these can be tools or services that you actually use
or that you have considered adopting)
Accessibility
(starts with low prices)
