Can I Work with This? Or is it Time to Start Over?
I have a travelogue that focuses on Korea. It's been online since June 2011.
When I initially started the website I knew jack all about SEO, list building, social media, etc.
Although I'm still very much a newbie, my understanding of IM has increased quite a bit over the last 24 months ... it had nowhere to go but up!
Currently the site averages about 150 unique views a day. Nothing spectacular, but a foundation I feel I could build on.
I'm interested in creating an authority site for either 1) travel in Korea, or 2) travel in Asia for overseas tourists.
My question is this: Would it make sense to re-brand/re-build what I have now as an authority site with an eye towards monetization?
As for the monetization itself, I'm thinking I could host ads for hotels, sell products on Amazon, and build a list by offering a free eBook.
I'd really like to steer clear of Adsense.
The site is here if you'd like to have a look:

Thanks!
