I’ve been running a fashion content platform for a while now — mainly blogs, Pinterest, and Instagram. The audience is solid (around 60k on Pinterest + decent IG following), and content gets good views consistently.
The problem: I’m barely making money.
- Google Ads revenue is extremely low
- I’ve tried adding affiliate links in videos/posts, but I don’t really understand where to get good links or how to optimize them
- I feel like I have the audience, but I’m not monetizing it properly
I know there’s potential here — especially in fashion where product-based content should convert — but I’m clearly missing something in execution.
What I’m trying / considering:
- Creating content with multiple product links
- Exploring affiliate marketing, but unsure which platforms/networks are best
- Possibly working with brands or sourcing products to promote
Where I’m stuck:
- How do you actually find good affiliate programs for fashion?
- How do you structure content so people actually click and buy?
- What tools/platforms are you using to manage links and track performance?
- Is there a better monetization model I should be exploring beyond ads + affiliates?
If anyone has been in a similar position (good traffic, low revenue), I’d really appreciate practical advice or even a rough roadmap.
Feels like I’m sitting on something that should work — just not connecting the dots yet.
