Low Maintenance Alternatives to Adsense?

Matt281 · 12-07-2011, 02:06 PM

I started with IM about 5 months ago, created 3 websites, let 2 fall off, and have been focusing on the third one for the past few months.

I'm now getting about 800 UV a day, which comes almost entirely from search engine traffic.

Thing is, about half that traffic is from a really big keyword that I hadn't originally intended to rank for, but now rank 1st for. That CPC is really low for that one, so my adsense earnings are only about $5 a day.

I feel like with 800 people coming through each day, I should be able to make a lot more than $5. However, I really want to keep this as a passive income source rather than making it into another job. I don't want to mail things, deal with customers, etc.

So my question is, what would you do with 800 people coming through each month assuming you wanted to keep a low maintenance income? If it helps, I'm in the vitamin/supplement niche.

Thanks!

A really quick search on Offervault shows 56 results for "vitamin" and an additional 34 for "Supplement". I cannot imagine that out of those 90 CPA offers you couldn't find something that makes you more than 5 bucks a day?
In this particular case I'd even suggest removing adsense and placing some quality CPA offers in those "adblock" locations. Maybe not all, but something to think about.
Good luck!

Thanks! Can anyone expand on that idea or give me some further input?
