How should I monetize my new online social experience?

Hello good people,

Earlier this year I have launched my new website, which should prove to become a popular social experience and revolves around the age-old question of "Where were you when..".

The subjects can range from Michael Jackon's death, the '69 Woodstock festival or obvious once like 9/11 or even D-Day (so you can tell your grandfather's story).

Apart from the site still requiring the social momentum and actually get a good flow of visitors and users, I'm trying to figure out the best way to monetize this project. As you can imagine I just felt like this idea was quite awesome and just started building it last year, but hadn't thought about any way to make money from it before.

At the moment I have some Adsense ads on the Event pages, but I'm not too happy about ads on this website.


Do any of you have any good ideas on how to get this website going and how to get people to register and be active members and, finally, get this website to generate some revenue?

Looking forward to your feedback!

    And another question: would you be interested in (anonymously) sharing your story if you were asked "Where you when on 9/11?" or "Do you know someone who was there when JFK was shot?"?

    Sounds interesting just wondering if it's a niche? I mean is this a group of customers who share some want/need that you can monetize? I can imagine why people would visit this site for entertainment but not sure how you could sell to them. Maybe some kind of memorabilia?? Don't mean to be negative but I've found that pain points are what makes a niche monetizable.
