How to make more money from my Blog?

Hello fellow Warriors!

I need your help in the field of making more money from my blog.

I have to say that I'm making few hundred dollars monthly from my blogging, but I feel that my blog has more potential than this.

My main income are surveys from Monetize Digital (former CPAlead.com), and I'm quite satisfied with the results that I'm getting from this, but if there is something that I missed or didn't do, I would like to hear your advice if you got some good and constructive ideas.

Secondly, I added Google adsense ads on my blog, in the right sidebar, at the footer of the post and one slide in ad, that shows after a visitor has been at my page for 5 seconds. But my CTR is miserable! It is not even 1%, and earnings are just low.

I'm also a YouTube partner with the channel that is related to the site, and CTR on the videos is good, but on my blog page is miserably small as I mentioned.

What can I do to improve this. I tried different ad positions, and this are the best so far! And my CTR is not even 1%!

So any help about CPAlead surveys for a better click through rate and Google adsense is what I'm asking you.

My average traffic monthly is 15k unique visitors, 65% of them are search traffic and 30% referral traffic.

Here is the link to one of my posts, so you can see for yourselves - Juventus Unbeaten Tactic - FM 2012 ~ Football Manager Blog | 1st in Football Manager

Please help me Warriors!

    Nice Blog Mate....

    Well in my opinion you can increase your sales with 2 things.....

    Internet Marketing... ( In the beginning I would recommend to go with ClickBank and promote products as an affiliate)

    Offering a Banner Sport or Ad Spot on your website

      Thanks mate, but I'm not interested in ClickBank as I am already an affiliate with Webgains.

      And is there a website where I can offer my ad space?

        Why not create a membership or subscribe section and put a join form in the sidebar - offer people some goodie to sign up and watch your list grow and grow

          This is not a bad idea, and I am already working on a PDF tutorial book just for that.

    The site looks good, but I agree you should start focusing on building a list. This way you can offer them products and offers that are based around your blog's niche.

    I would possible look into some affiliate products, or create your own, instead of the adsense. The adsense is not giving you a very good CTR and it's probably because it's not targeted. When I checked out the blog post you link its about a football play but yet the huge google ad is for a PDF creator. How many of your readers need or care about about a PDF creator. Some probably don't even know what a PDF is.

    I think if you work on a list and get better ads you'll be doing much better.

    Hey those are great numbers. The only thing I would suggest is the personal touch. Join and participate in forums where your customers and prospects are likely to be. And, always respond to their concerns as quickly as possible. It sounds like you are well on your way.

    Thank you for all of your advice's. Joining forums is also a good idea, and surely I'll start with that this week.

    And these google ads, sometimes they hit the spot, but mostly they are unrelated to my readers.

      I would suggest to place an ad here at the Warrior Forum offering an ad space at your blog. I am sure you will get lots of interested prospects. And of course you should be building your list. You have a very nice blog
