Monetizing a celebrity‑focused project is less about aggressive ads and more about matching intent. People come to your boards for inspiration, research and context.

Start with low‑friction affiliate links, clearly labeled “Shop this vibe”, and only recommend items that genuinely match the aesthetic. As your audience grows, layer in sponsorships and small digital products like style playbooks or newsletter memberships.

The rule of thumb: if a monetization idea would make you unfollow your own account, don’t ship it.
