How do you monetize without sounding like a shill?
Every time I try adding an affiliate link to my blog, I feel like I’m selling out. I want to recommend products, but only if I genuinely use or trust them. Still want to make some income — is that balance possible?
I totally relate to that — I stopped promoting anything I wouldn’t actually use myself. The trick was to find quality crypto affiliate programs that I could naturally plug into my existing content. I now focus on platforms that offer tools or services my readers would actually be looking for anyway. That way, it feels more like a tip than a pitch. It took a bit of trial and error, but it’s possible to earn and still feel good about it.
