- Create some "paid only" articles a la substack.

- Small ads on the right side of the site. Can be standards ads, even better if you can get "sponsored" directly by companies with no adtech middle man.

- Store of probably-not-actually-worth-the-price merch that people might still buy if they like you.

- Be content with not monetizing everything. I personally don't follow any monetized blogs (besides substack and minor sidebar ads, which pays the server bills) because I don't trust opinion from monetized bloggers. That trust is hard to gain, easy to lose, and poor monetization is an easy way to lose it.

I got some very unique content that I think people would be willing to pay for. But very good tips thanks!

great tips, also more inadvertent is add in calls to action to a squeeze page for consulting/subscription/anything selling
