Wallpaper Site - Best Ways To Monetize?

2 replies
I have a site where I upload my own wallpapers (versus taking other people's work like most sites seem to). I'd like to eventually monetize with CPA offers, but that would only be if I could ever get a huge amount of daily traffic. That's not likely to happen, or at least not for a long time.

So, in the meantime, I'm wondering if there might be any other demonetization methods that might pay decently. I can try to sell my designs as Redbubble products such as t-shirts and phone cases, but I think to most people this wouldn't be appealing.

I could promote some affiliate products, but they'd have little to nothing to do with the site, or pay very low comissions from what I've seen.

I could start a Patreon. I think that might only be effective if I was able to get a large amount of subscribers.

I could maybe sell bundles of wallpapers for like 99 cents, but that's ridiculous.

Of course, I could ask for donations, but I don't believe there's much money in that.

Also, I might be able to get sponsored by someone to promote their brand, but I'd have to have a large amount of subscribers.

Maybe I could offer to create custom wallpapers for businesses?

If anyone has any ideas, about how I might be able to monetize this, let me know. I don't even know if there's much of a future in this idea, but I'm hoping if people like my site enough, they'll keep coming back once they're following me on social media.

    Ooooo! I love wallpaper sites!

    I use them to make jigsaw puzzles with Jigsaws Galore, and I'm sorry there's no program to render wallpaper in black and white outline for coloring. Coloring is all the rage right now, and I mean a HUGE RAGE.

    Go search 'adult coloring books' or coloring books for grownups and you'll see. Adult coloring books have been on the Amazon bestseller list for ages.

    If you could do your wallpapers in paint-by-number and hook up with a coloring program like a more sophisticated version of Tux Paint or MS's Drawing For Children, you'd have it made in the shade. Extrapolate the possibilities.

    If you don't do it, somebody else will, my friend.
