How To Monetsize A Site Like This?

Hello warriors, im wondering how i can monetize a website of mine.

Im promoting the site with a fanpage i own. The fanpage has 500,000 active fans. Just to get an idea of the fanpage size, if i post a image on the page, it will get 2000-10,000 likes, if i post a website link on the page i get around 1500 visits.

The fanpage's niche is for a celebrity (that i knew before he got super famous, i made the page to support him, now hes really famous, ive got a page with 500k fans.)

Ive made a fansite for the celebrity which i started 2 days ago, its making about $8 per day with adsense (max)..

My question is: How can i boost the earnings of this fansite? Ive already planned to post amazon links on the page, to make money.

    Here are a few options:

    Turn it into a cheap membership site
    Advertise products the celebrity uses or are associated with
    Sell advertising directly to other sites through banners, text links, etc
    Sell pictures of the celebrity on the site

    Just a few ideas, hope they help.

    Hey there... Why not try CPA - pay for leads offers... Like get a free iphone offer. You get around $1 per leads. it's gonna be more easier than a sale and can earn you more money. Also the fans won't have the impression that you are selling to them...

    You've got yourself a great traffic source to leverage my friend!

    The reason your adsense is converting so poorly is because there is probably hardly any ads showing up that a relevant to your visitors (unless your celebrity friend has their own product?). Ad relevancy is a key factor in getting clicks!

    I say you should post links from the facebook fanpage to the fansite on a more regular basis, so you can show a steady flow of traffic coming in. Then place an "advertise here" page on your fansite to attract private advertisers. This way you can had pick the ads that will show up on your site.

    You could also try some CPA offer for things you feel you visitors would be interested in.

    You try CPA, definitely this may work. Adsense is crap these days.

    Link them over to your blog and sell sell sell!
    Making membership sites , selling celeb products, updating photos and pictures about the celeb and also newest gossip will keep your blog and fan page sizzling.

    You can also do the launching of products that are coming out by the celebs and make a killing! Just a few ideas.

    After all , you are sitting on a gold mine, tweak a little with it and you will be earning tons.

    Hope I helped, good luck !

    Would be nice to show pics of that celeb, and sell (similar) things he/she has or uses in those pics. "Buy a t-shirt just like that!" "Same sunglasses, but made of plastic!" Good concept to try.

    That depends on what kind of celebrity they are. You could create a FB store and start selling memorbilia, music, movies, or whatever they do. You could also find some celebrity related CPA offers and throw those in there. Do it carefully becuase you don't want to start making people mad.

    Wow, that sounds like a really strong potential tool for monetizing your website.

    I would strongly suggest that you put in some time to find out more about the people who like this fan page. That is essential if you want to work out the most lucrative monetizing plan.

    What kind of celebrity is this person? Do you have access to exclusive content about him? If you do, you could definitely start a membership site. Otherwise, you could promote celebrity stuff on the side.

    The options are endless, it's just a matter of choosing the right one after realizing who your audience is and what they want.
