Hey guys, So I have a blog that I've been working on for a few months now -

2015 Toyota Supra FT1 - New 2015 Toyota Supra FT-1 Produced by Toyota Motor Corporation - Prices, Accessories, Wallpapers, & More!2015 Toyota Supra FT1 | New 2015 Toyota Supra FT-1 Produced by Toyota Motor Corporation – Prices, Accessories, Wal

On a daily average I'm getting 1,500 - 2,000 unique organic visitors, majority from Google. So I have some decent targeted traffic, and my page rank has done nothing but rise.

It's only making me about $3 - 10 a day on average with Adsense. I've got some Amazon affiliate products on the site which have earned me roughly $25 a month give or take $5. I've also played around with Media.net's CPM advertising but considering I'm only getting about 1500 or so a day that was only paying me $2 - $4 per day.

I've experimented with Peerfly, CJ, Neverblue, perhaps I'm picking the wrong offer but there has to be a better monetization method to market to 50,000+ people a month.

Unfortunately due to the car not being released yet I have no products to actually sell for the car besides some lousy posters.

Any suggestions?

With cars and trucks in particular, there is a loyalty that runs deep in the blood of each and every brand. Since you have pre-developed success in getting traffic for a vehicle that has yet to be released, you have in this case unknowingly developed targeted traffic for the brand itself.

Success in your case is going to be in the brand "Toyota" and not within the car. I am going to more than bet... you yourself are a big fan of Toyota. I would bet you OWN a Toyota yourself.

Looking at the site in this manor... what could you sell on this site other than a poster?
cant afford the 2015? how bout body kits for your existing car? Coffee mugs? why not sell Gran Turismo 6? design a T-shirt and try T-spring. There simply are hundreds if not thousands of ways to monetize the site.

Fan of Toyota not really I don't mind the Supra, just jumped on the idea randomly. Never actually owned a Toyota though (more of a german engineering fan)

I thought about potentially making a pre-order for t-shirts or some sort of merchandise I just wasn't sure if that would be worth the effort.

Selling Gran Turismo 6 isn't a bad idea either.

You could always try building your email list. I noticed that you have an enter to win a poster email capture.

Maybe offer a handpicked and delivered weekly wallpaper emailed to your members. I would also look at some similar sites and see what they are doing.

Good luck

Yeah I've been slowly but surely trying to build an email list. So far a whopping 10 subscribers!

I've looked at "my competition" and they all seem to be just covered in adsense and I can't see much more they're doing that I'm not.

Yesterday was one of my better days with $10.58 total for the day.

I'll keep searching. I'm assuming once this car actually comes out it will be a lot easier to find products.

As for opt-ins why not offer prospects something that is not released.

Tell them they should join an earlybird list to get XXXXX. That product could be something you just dream up or it could be a good guess of what is likely to be available once it is released and you could start the communication cycle.

You could start a countdown to when XXXX becomes available.

Offer something personalized and let people know that there will only be so many of the personalized items available based on first come first served.

If your predicted item does not become available later you can always send a mailing saying. Wow...you only just missed out on XXXX but you can now get YYYY here.

Create the scarcity and the community of being included on a VIP release list.

I'm sure you can work something out.

Unfortunately with everyone being broke in January, my amazon sales have completely dropped.

I also can't seem to break the 1500 user a day line.

However my Alexa as increased quite a bit, and my Adsense & Media.net earnings are still steady.

How about a car insurance offer? They pay well on a lead gen - something like " Save up to xx% on insuring your Toyota" - that's basic but may do well for you - message me if you want a connection to a good zip submit auto insurance offer (i ran it for a long time)

Or even auto loan type stuff? 'Can't afford the new toyota supra? See what you can afford here even if your credit is bad" - very bad copy but a start for the basic idea...

Cheers
