Niche Video Website Monetization: $400+ per Month

Let's start this success story with the first thing our partner said when asked to comment on his collaboration with Monetag,

So how he feels about it is pretty clear.

Now, we won’t hide the fact that Monetag wasn’t his only option. He actually tried switching from Monetag to another monetization platform , but he came back to us with full confidence that this is where he and his business belong.

It is clear that Monetag managed to bring him more income. But how exactly, and what strategies he used in his case, we will reveal in the following lines. So, stay tuned.

About the publisher and its SEO efforts

In 2021, our Nigerian partner created a website that focuses on user-generated content. He relies solely on organic traffic and has built a pretty good SEO. According to him, every time he uploads new material, it gets indexed.

So while generating traffic is not something he finds a problem with right now, he needs to find new and trending keywords all the time to keep his ranking high. For that, he uses Google Trends.

Preliminary results, June 2023

Now let’s move on to the real case. Here’s how it all started.

By the end of June 2023, he had 541,000 views and 401,000 visitors. And most of his traffic came from Nigeria, the US, the Philippines, India, and South Africa, but there were a significant number of people located in Pakistan, Ghana, the UK, Canada, and the EU who ended up on his website.

However, despite these impressive numbers, he only managed to make $273 for the entire month with Monetag. Why is that? The publisher responded in his own words.

• Note: The publisher realized that it is more profitable to monetize his audience only with Monetag, so he no longer switches to other platforms.

However, what he noticed was that he had a pretty high CPM for his visitors in the United States. For the month of June, it was over $15, which is pretty impressive when compared to the CPM for other countries.

I would suggest anyone who is getting traffic from the US to use Monetag as their monetization tool as they will earn more. It is always a good day for me whenever I get traffic from the US as Monetag usually gives me great CPM.

Moving forward, July and August

You might expect some big changes and skyrocketing profits. However, that’s not how it works. At least, not overnight.

Moving on to July, our partner had slightly better results, in terms of page views (605,000) and visitors to his website (440,000), but his earnings grew a bit slower. Mainly because most of his traffic came from India and Nigeria, where CPMs are not as high as in the US.

The total profit was $243. However, the number of views was increasing, which was promising.Then came August. The turning point.

Our partners explain.

This month it earned $432, but all the other numbers were up as well. There were 80,000 more views than the previous month, and the website also gained a lot of new visitors – up from 440,000 to 665,000.

How did this happen?

Well, Monetag provides publishers with high-quality ads that do not scare away the audience, which is why the number of visits to the site starts to increase.

This month, traffic came mostly from Nigeria, the United States, and South Africa.

Strategy implemented, SmartLink' Popunder' Vignette

Our clients have been relying on this particular formula: SmartLink + Popunder + Vignette. And this is a winning combination, considering that each ad format should offer unique features, so when working together, they seem to complement each other perfectly.

• Popunder - is a classic, yet top-performing ad format that appears in new browser tabs, and allows you to monetize most of your visitors; it is a full-page ad that is hard to ignore, and its CPM rates are always high,
• Vignette  – looks like a real banner with a header, small description, and CTA and “close” buttons, the vignette aims to contribute to a higher CTR,
•  SmartLink is our golden child - which you can place anywhere you like – you can include it in text, buttons or banners; it is a special URL designed to take visitors to the most relevant offer and generate high CPM rates.

Conclusion: Around $1200 later

In this particular case, the client plays in several monetization areas and although this may sound like a good idea, it is not.

If there are too many ads on a site, and this is inevitable since the client works with more than one monetization platform, users tend to react negatively, and this directly affects profits.

It’s all about balance and a well thought out approach. When he focused solely on Monetag, his numbers went up, and we believe this is a trend that will continue to grow. By the end of August 2023, his earnings were just over $1200.

So the lessons have been learned and the message is clear – trust Monetag to guide you through the process of monetizing your site. We will take you further than you ever expected.
