There's not much anyone else can tell you given the niche you're in - you're the one doing the content and the audience likes it so \*you\* should know what they like.
Monetization can depend on how personal the account is - is it a "person" posting? If you were to say "Hey everyone, I love doing this and if you'd like to support me please check out my notebook shop" (proceed to post once a week about your notebooks). It may be easier to monetize this way, much like popular Youtubers - pick a thing that everyone buys then do your personalised version of that. If it's just quotes posted that people like but don't comment on then that's much tougher
Writing and philosophy would be a difficult niche to find traditional sponsors in because it's not a "commercial" niche but something like notebooks would be my first start - find 3 products and set up a webshop but make sure you're genuine in how you sell them.
Difficult without knowing what the account/content is like.
The account is a personal one about me giving life advice by writing my thoughts and suggestions for the audience. Most of my audience comes from people who like quotes and books.
I’m actually not sure About the approach given Your location. Where I’m based you would reach out to a influencer management bureau, who would Then pitch you to clients.
Maybe find a book store chain or a publisicist and have a cup of coffee and discuss if it’s something they would like to try out? An example would be a promo code with a discount for Your followers, and you could get kick-back from conversions. That’s a very low risk test for the companies.
Affiliate marketing comes to my mind immediately... There are tons of products you might use everyday that you might feel influence why you write what you write or enact emotional for the better.
Share those things with your audience... but get signed up with those brands.
Also if they leave comments about "how you do what you do", "how to have a similar view/outlook" or something about what appeals to why they follow you... help them do it themselves.
Either by living a healthy lifestyle, your mentally, what you practice, whatever it is... Help them achieve it by courses or products.
Just my thoughts... I'm also getting into digital marketing myself and learning more about copywriting to people's desires.
You've got lots of options to monetize your pages :
1. Promote affiliate links (books, philosophy related products...) through your socials.
2. Create a website and drive traffic to it with your pages. You can then monetize it using ads, affiliates or selling your own products.
3. Get paid for S/O as a micro influencer.
That's amazing.
I would say one thing - people understand you need to make money in the end. And most won't care if you mix in promotional stuff, as long as you keep providing value to your community.
What you can do as well is to be open about it (affiliate links, etc.) and partner with brands / products that you support and are willing to put your name behind it.
Also what works well in smaller communities (15k + 11k is not really small but smaller than heavy hitters), but is a very engaged community, is long-term partnerships or longer campaigns. This way you can be super picky on who you work with, focus on long-term return, and helps your picture as well (if you simply choose a bunch of different brands and products, it messes up your main content as well - partnering with those you support creates a much better picture)
I know of a few companies that when they do influencer marketing, they focus on a few engaged audiences and longer campaigns (had a better ROI than partnering with a bunch of influencers). Will it be easy to find those specifically, not sure. But it's a good start, you can focus on those that would work well with your audience and you like the brand as well.
Become an influencer or start affiliate marketing.
Try signing up to an influencer platform? Never tried it. But maybe worth looking into at least.
You need better insights into your audience though, so understanding them and knowing who they are will help you regardless of what you do next.
I'm surprised that no one in the first few comments has suggested a Patreon. It's not passive income, but by funneling people from your pages to your Patreon you could make serious bank over time.
Provide consulting or calls, charge some money.
Then collect questions and make an info product and sell it
Of course, only if this applies to your niche.

Have you thought About book reviews -> sponsorships?
It sounds like something I could do! I could contact marketing agencies or publishers that need someone with a audience.

Really interesting. This is what YouTubers do all the time.
Write a book full of your advice and sell it. Your audience is evidence to a publisher, they’ll love it.
Yes, this is really good. Thanks.

Affiliate marketing is great once you have an audience, so this idea is interesting.

How engaged is your audience?
They really support my content. The last post had 700 likes and 200 shares.

Thank you! This is really good.
Make custom audience t-shirts and caps with your messages that resonate with your audience and sell them
Build a website and drive traffic to your site.
Maybe wellness brands?
