Venas News is one of the fastest growing websites in Kenya. It now ranks among top blogs in the country with over 10 million visitors per month.
This year, we decided to shift from the traditional way of monetizing our blog, which was AdSense. By the time we were removing AdSense ads from the blog our revenue was averaging Ksh300,000 per month and we were happy about that. Over time we realized the ads were slowing down our website, thus discouraging our readers. We made a decision to try affiliate marketing, HilltopAds.You can click here to sign up for HilltopAds, affiliate marketing and sponsored content. So far, our traffic has improved from 20,000 visitors per day to the current 400,000 page views, loading speed has increased significantly and income has more than tripled. We hope the traffic will average 1 million per day early 2018.
As a norm, affiliate bloggers reveal their income, so as from 2018 we shall be doing the same- revealing what we make from affiliate marketing month after month and the associated traffic figures. This we believe will encourage upcoming bloggers .We shall also reveals various strategies we adopt to gain massive online following. As you can see on our blog, we have a section that’s dedicated for blogger, that’s where we shall be posting our figures.
In our journey, we thank Kinsta who have helped us in providing amazing hosting services.

I would also encourage bloggers to consider shifting their hosting to Kinsta.you can click here to see their plans.
