Supporting Small Publishers
One way to support small publishers that create amazing content but are slapped by Google algorithms, new spam policies, and other manual actions is to follow them on the platforms where they can monetize and engage with them.
If you help small publishers reach the minimum following and engagement criteria, they can apply to earn revenue from over a dozen platforms and 80 monetization programs.
On X, those numbers are 5M impressions on posts within the last 3 months and a minimum of 500 followers, plus the cost of a premium subscription.
Let’s normalize the diversification of revenue streams beyond Google.
Also, yes, I know the irony that five programs are Google’s, but if they still work, don’t try to fix them.
Just don’t depend on Google forever. Any publisher or website could fall from organic search results to pave the way for more AI Answers, ads in AI Answers, and Reddit.
Look into the dozens of Google alternatives to generating revenue online.
