I&#x27;ve made a small website and over the past year it has averaged on a monthly basis 4000 visitors, 40% bounce rate, 4 min avg. sessions and 10,000 pageviews.<p>The website is focused on a niche area and takes a few hours to maintain each month as it&#x27;s a directory of resources. Similar to Startup Stash (http:&#x2F;&#x2F;startupstash.com&#x2F;), but a different area and on a smaller scale.<p>I&#x27;ve been doing cold-emailing to secure advertisers, managed to secure a few, but overall not a positive response. And it is a time intensive exercise; identify relevant companies, tailor the message etc.<p>So I&#x27;ve been thinking about using Google Adsense. Does this make sense for such a small website? Any other suggestions on how I can monetize a curated website? Not looking for huge sums, but it would be fun if it could generate something.<p>By the way, I&#x27;m new to all of this so appreciate any advice.
