How Do I Effectively Monitize This Blog?
One of my blogs is getting about 3000- 4000 visitors per month and is in the video game niche.
(I don't want to give away the niche as even though I can't figure out a way to make money off the subniche someone else might) It's related to The Sims and still has a decent fanbase for being a 7 years old.
Despite all that I'm still just barely making $100 per month with this site via Adsense and a lot of the website visitors are teens who are savvy about Adsense and online advertising since they spend so much time online. Free reports would work on some sort of technique, but they'd be able to recognize the affiliate links.
Other than that I don't know what else would work besides selling t-shirts...
I know they buy things and pre-order games online (EB Games and other retailers) as I'm a member of a fansite fourm. There's more money in this demographic than I probably realize. I'm on the fence about trying to continue montizing this blog.
Anyone have any ideas or similar niches that make them money? What are some effective ways to monitize a blog catering to my visitors?
People are interested in this niche whenever I tell them about it in person and it got on the first page of Digg so I know there's some potential here.
