Can't Monetize a 5,500 unique visitors/month blog

Hi everybody,

I read this forum a lot, but didn't have the opportunity to write posts yet.
Anyway, I began my journey in the onine marketing world about 8 months ago, without any previous knowledge. I've opened-up a wordpress blog about dating and pick-up for men.

I was told by many people that it's a very competitive market, but once you get enough traffic, the reward (conversion, sales, etc) will be very high.

So I opened this blog, and I wrote tens of posts and Q&A's, got about 30 quality links (mainly by guest posting and article directories).
Today I have around 150-180 unique visitor per days from a large number of keywords, and this number is growing every week.

I also know it's not that important, but I got already a PR 2, which I am very proud of.
So it feels to me that increasing the number of visitors is not a problem.

However, my problem is with monetizing these visitors, who are very specific (all of them are men who want to improve their communication skills with the opposite sex).

By the way, the blog address is luvblogger dot com

My idea to monetize this traffic was to create a pop-up, that suggests the visitors to move on to my "full guide to success with women". However, no matter how I tried various popups, my current on is the best, and gets about 10% of the traffic to the blog. is it a good number? or not? to me it seems very low.

And then, I began writing the guide, but it seems visitors just go to the first age of the guide, and exit. my bounce rate on the guide is about 85%. It's even higher than the bounce rate of the blog (about 70%).

What am I doing wrong? Is there a guide that teachs how to make a good pop-up that people will click more? And what about the guide? I believe it's a high quality one.

Help will be appreciated.
