Sell memberships
High-quality content can build brand loyalty which means credibility for your blog or website.

Your content has to be more valuable and you have to make sure your content is not accessible anywhere else.
Sponsored posts
If you don’t want to have ads all over your site you can monetize your blog using sponsored posts. Displaying Google ads comes with a risk of its own because you have no control over what ad is placed on your site. If you choose to go the sponsored posts way, make sure you have a separate page detailing your rates and site statistics. Alternatively, you can always have a contact page for business deals.
Create a paywall
If you have great content on your site you have loyal readers who would pay to read your content. You can create a paywall where after a viewer reads a certain number of stories they have to pay a certain amount to continue accessing the content just like the New York Times does. Your content has to be very unique and credible for people to actually pay subscriptions to access your content.
