Depending on the niche, you can monetize it with affiliate offers. Try CPA maybe, basic things at first like email submits? And if your getting that much traffic, then it might be worth starting to build a list.

Thanks

How can we help with no details?

What's the niche?
Is it a sub-niche or niche site?
What kind of traffic is it?
Demographics?

You can't really expect us to just have a magic formula that works for everyone...

Help yourself by giving us what we need to help you.

Solving a problem in your respective niche and offering a very good service through that is one of the best ways to make some cash without having your credibility go down the drain.

It all depends what are your intentions and start to think out of the box into funneling the traffic into something ca$$y. Hope that helps

Really tough niche to monetize, perhaps you can find some affiliate/CPA offers about movie rental or even amazon links to the movies? Assuming they are released of course.

My site reviews "chick flicks", so I would say the main demographic is probably woman. The traffic is organic and mostly through google.

It really does depend on your niche, if it's dealing with legal or insurance then you are going to make more. Personally I have seen and had sites with 60-100k uniques a day that did much better with direct advertisers then it did with Adsense. 30k uniques is ok but keep in mind it's not really that much traffic just yet.

When I see the words, 'review' and 'chick-flick'..

I instantly think of either monetising with netflix/lovefilm depending on what country your traffic comes from..

Or/both..

Amazon - an affiliate link to the film that you are actually reviewing.

That's just off the top of my head, but you could think a little out of the box in regard to your demo-graphics.

Let's say your main demographic is for 21 year old females who are caucasian..

Well, what kind of things do 21 year old caucasian females like?

(Other than me of course :p)

Haven't been on the forum for a while, but love helping with advice.

The only problem here is that you are giving us NOTHING to help.

It's like asking:

"Hey, can you guys help me fix my car? It's making a humming noise."

"I know you can't see, test drive it, or even hear my car, but I still expect some helpful tips on how I can fix it. All replies are appreciated, thank you!"

All kidding aside, seriously we cannot help without actually seeing your site.

  That is good advice, especially around here. Any site mentioned here with some kind of success has about 5 new copies up in a few days. Don't do it.
  
  And I also just cross off any interest in doing business with the people pushing for the url.
  
  If someone posts that they have a problem getting 2 visitors a day, no one wants to know the url to help them out.
  
  There is plenty of info that can be shared without knowing the exact details. The main thing in my experience is that free entertainment sites are very hard to monetize. The amount you are making with adsense isn't bad at all.
  
  My other thought was already mentioned. Netflix affiliate links might be worth a try. I haven't watched a movie for years and didn't even know you could get them from Amazon, so I learned something too.

  Yes he is...like most posers in this business. Having said that, I would keep it secret because it's an adsense site. All it takes is for a couple of idiots to clickbomb your adsense ads, and the next thing you know you'll be getting a "your account is a risk so f off" email from google. If you do reveal it, remove the adsense first.

Why are you so worried about adsense? You could make alot more money with money with other affiliate programs.

I know that because if you were making a lot of money with adsense you wouldn't be asking us how to monetize your traffic.

Your right Ryan, I think its just that I tried a few other ways and so far Adsense has been the only one that has shown any results.

No your adsense is safe. Why neglect weight loss or dating? Consider your market. Just because its a movie site doesn't mean you sell movies. Find out who's visiting. Seems like women. What do women buy? Weight loss crap and or dating crap. It doesn't have to be netflix. That's not how marketing works. Just copy other sites that Target same demo. Find out what they are selling.

Listen to sports radio. Do they try to sell guys golf clubs or baseball bats? No they sell viagra.

I would say make your site look simple and user freindly and use either cpa or affiliate program such as netflix or lovemovie.

If you can get 1% of your 30k traffic entering (doable) you could generate a few hundred dollars or more. The key is in coming up with a prize that excites your audience.

I'll give you a different take on the entire setup you have here. I've been in the business a long time and if I learned anything from my experiences it is that every visitor on your site has some customer value especially if it is being produced organically.

Don't just hand off your traffic to an affiliate offer, netflix, or put them through a long-winded-seven-page-CPA-offer submit.

Covet the traffic. In this new world of SEO most are unsure on how long it would last regardless of your positions. Take the traffic and start building something where you can minimize your risk and enhance your profitability. I'm talking about a list, I'm sure you have heard of it.

Be Creative. Out of the Box, and THINK. What type of offer... of my OWN. Can I offer them. This offer can be anything really... a newsletter, a report, a book, a picture of Channing Tatum ... it doesn't really matter the key is to give them value that lines up with their wants and needs.

Present that value to them... now your traffic has been funneled into a group of buying consumers.

--------------------------------

WHAT I WOULD DO...

With 1,000 visitors a day, I can use one week of testing to find a niche that is going to work with the traffic source.

First I would learn a little more about my "female" audience. I would make a space on my website for some advertising, and promote a handful of naked offers. What I mean by naked offers is the banner doesn't do anything, but it does track clicks.

When I say offers, I mean the banner advertises a "niche". We track how many clicks are on each niche to see what niche we should even attempt to promote to this list.

For example here are a few niches I thought of:

1) Does Your BoyFriend Cheat
2) How to Get Pregnant
3) Making Your Man Marry You
4) Nails
5) Hair
6) Face/Acne
7) Modeling

----------------------------------------------

After the click tracking, to about 7,000 uniques and about 28,000 page views. You should have an understanding of what niche to attack.

Then I would design a squeeze page around that specific niche, and have my traffic turn into subscribers.

Depending on how ambitious you want to be, I would design my own product or run them through an auto-responder series producing value/mixing in affiliate offers.

In the end...

After One week of testing and One week of putting a squeeze funnel properly together. You could have a lifetime of recurring income.

Congrats on getting to 30k/mo! Quite an accomplishment.

You definitely need to test ads in different positions. I would also test amazon affiliate ads for movies, movie poster affiliate ads, etc. Find things that you think your visitor demographic may be interested in. If it doesn't work trash it and find something else. When you find something that is earning you money, tweak it by changing your site around until you can maximize your monthly profit.

You're correct in that you should be making a LOT more money off of 30k/mo.

1. The easiest thing to do is put up Amazon banners for DVDs of the movies. Amazon pays commission on all products bought from your referral. Not just those DVDs. So you may get lucky when someone clicks through to buy a DVD and ends up buying a treadmill.

2. Netflix as others have recommended. However, I wouldn't put too much effort into it. Its fairly saturated now.

3. Pay attention to those silly facebook quizzes. You have an audience of 30,000 people now. That is your "seeder" audience. Invest in creating quizzes and other link bait stuff that your 30,000 people can start spreading. And go from 30,000 to 300,000 people.

4. Try and find a place where you can buy DVDs at a discount / wholesale. Ideally someone who would do drop shipping too. And sell "The Ultimate Romantic DVD collection." List 40 DVDs on a page. Allow people to select any 12 of them. And ship it to them. There isn't much money in selling 1 DVD at a time. But there is money in selling 12 DVDs at a time.

5. Try and do the same for chickflick books next.
