I wanted to start a topic for people trying to monetize Discourse and share ideas.

My experience with adsense on Discourse hasn’t been  
great so far. So far my site is costing me $10 a month; adsense is estimating I will make $0.25 every 10000 views. I’m nowhere near 1000 views yet.

Now I’m trying Amazon affiliates.

Any ideas to monetize Discourse?

Thanks! 😊
