The Brew Site is an interesting commercial blog focused upon Beer (sounds like my kind of blog!). They are basing their income stream at this stage around Adsense. I’ve done a little research into beer keywords and the ads should pay reasonably well and the topic is one which should attract a fair amount of visitors. There are probably a few other income streams that they could add into the mix to add a few dollars a day to the mix.
The design is clean and professional, the content genuinely helpful and the concept is great – I’ll be interested to see how they progress.
Thanks for the nice writeup! The design is still in a bit of flux, but I’m glad you like it– I’ll keep it mostly the same as I figure it out.
Good to see another beer blog. Let’s keep them coming. Also, Google sucks for beer folks. They don’t pay because they kill beer advertisers — their policies are harsh on beer advertisers.
Well the more the better. The latest addition being India Brew a beer blog from India.
Hey Guys,
Just another “beer blogger” here. I am surprised there not more of us, but its pretty clear in my research that its a little difficult to monetize in this niche.
Oh well… I love beer and I love learning and writing about it. But I would love to hear how some of you other folks are doing with the monetization.
Cheers!
