Best way to monetize people search site

Hey guys!

Im interested in hearing some options on how I can monetize my "people search" website.

Basically people come to my site to search for a specific person( family,friend, etc). They type in their Info (first/last/email/phone) and their info of the person they are searching ( fname/lname + state).

I already added in an EDU optin ( for furthering their education, big industry and high demand for leads) but I get GREAT conversion rates on my searches like 50%+ fill out my form.

So basically im looking to add to my bottom line, i get so far average $0.10/search for the EDU and another $.30/search for job related offers via text.

So thats basically a coreg configuration , well technically its a "data post". because i dont host the creative, just post the data.

What other ways can I monetize on these leads being generated? I have 3 identical websites doing the same thing, and was planning on charging $.99/search but the payment processor companies are charging 40+%, then thought of charging $9.99/mo for unlimited searches but cant justify that amount each month ( ideas open too )

I even thought about iFraming email/zip submit offers between the search and result, that does OKAY but im looking for some out of the box thinkers. ( every lead generated is also sent into my email campaign for offers etc).
