A couple of years ago I decided to take the plunge and created a website in the health niche. Wrote around 25-30 articles but was struggling to get my head around SEO. Exams and later on being busy with by writing commitments meant that I slowly let the site slide. Apart from a couple of articles at ezine, one guest article and a BOTW directory link, I have not worked on the site with regards to SEO or IM. The site however gets decent traffic (at least in my eyes) and is averaging around 100 visitors for the last couple of months while the one year average is 2200 uniques pm. Now I have decided to concentrate more on the site and have cut down on my work load with just two of my highest paying and long term jobs which take around 50-60 hours a week. However the problem with IM persists. My knowledge about IM is Google-centric but on reading various posts, I realize that Google is just one part of many traffic sources and if you get the others right, SEs are automatically taken care of. Though about investing in PPC or ads with other blogs but the problem is that the site in question is not an affiliate site but instead an information site. Not thought too much about monetization so far but I believe adsense will form a major slice of income generation. So it is not likely that PPC will be effective strategy.
What should I do?

I am confused on what my next step should be. Should I sign up for a membership site (someone like Chris Farrell or Wealthy Affiliates) to learn IM or should I shell out loads of money for a coach? Another possibility is going into a JV with someone willing to teach me the ropes and taking over most or all of the income generated (willing to do it even if it means creating a new website)
