How Can I Make Money With My Website?

Hello All!
I know this forum probably gets lots of questions asking "How can you make money with your website" But I think my situation is a little different...

Now... A quick overall..
Back in 2010/first half of 2011. I built a website blog based on one facebook game. The game was very popular but now its died down quite alot. This blog made over $5k from selling guides to this one game. Then when the game died down the site went with it.

So about a week ago, I thought I would start a new website based on all facebook games. At the moment the site is getting about 1000 visits a day of facebook and the old facebook page that was used for my old gaming site.

I have someone working 10 hours per week for the website, and this person costs me $190 per month. I need the website to make more than $190 a month, which is very possible looking at the traffic.

But I've got a few problems...
1- At the moment guides for the most popular facebook games are not there for me to sell as an affiliate, and old guide that I did sell as an affiliate does not sell well anymore. So there is problem 1 - I can't make money of clickbank.

2- I've put adsense on the website but today I only made £0.22 from 30 clicks and 1000 visitors, which is NOT good. So adsense isnt working on the website.

3- On my old gaming blog I had info links, I made $700 from them, so I've decided to install infolinks on my new gaming blog. Yes.. info links will make the site some money but it wont be enough to cover the costs of the person who is working for it.

So my question is, how can I make money with it?

    Sounds like an opportunity to me, write or get written some guides and sell them on your site.

    Put them on clickbank and others will sell them for you.

      Its not that simple when you don't play the game. I wont be able to make a guide, im focusing on my gaming website.

    Why don't you either have a guide created or create one yourself? Then you can have affiliates selling it for you? Make it up to date and informative, and then maybe even create a more expensive product (maybe a few different guides on different games to bundle together) and sell at a higher price as a backend? Just a thought.

      I would try to focus in on the payment system that many people actually use to play these games. I dont know quite how that is done, but i think its by the game developers and not facebook. Possibly another thing would be mobile game help tips. If some one could text you for a quick tip and then you embed the tip into there facebook or your facebook profile (and charge on the cost of the text).

    its time to leverage what you already know what works.

    What I teach at article marketing strategy for 2013 is that you can take your articles and produce products out them.

    But since you are not writing at the moment you can have someone else do it for you. Get them to start writing guides for you. Find out what the most popular sites are and begin selling those on your site.

    As that grows you can even look at continuity sites...it will truly start generating long term income for you.

    As it grows you can start writing other guides.

    Also you want to keep one other thing in mind...leverage your content. As you create content you can use your stuff as bonus material...bundle it in with other material...and even create mega sites...

    At the rate people write articles these days and what they charge you can get these guides written for fairly cheap. People are writing 100 words for .80 cents...

    Once you have your products set up take them over to JVZOO or clickbank and let the affiliates market them for you. If you are getting that kind of traffic off one game...think of the traffic you would receive off all the games...

    CPA offers could work quite well on your website.

    Gift cards for game stores.... Ipads stuff like that.

    It's worth a shot even 1 click will earn you more money than all those adsense clicks got you.

    Why not are you going for the same what you did earlier? Develop guide for one or two personally and make money with that and within this time, you can develop that for more games, so that when one game go died out, there will be still others. You can do that personally and no need to recruit another one.

    Contact the old affiliate owner and see if they would create more facebook guide for the new games.
