Find the best players of the game, interview them and find out how they become so good. Package the tips into a guide and sell it.

Maybe you can sell ad space to a similar game.

Problem with sites like this is they are not evergreen, eventually this game will be out of fashion, I'd concentrate on collecting their email addresses and trying to move them onto a more evergreen platform.

Hello Bro , You Can Monetize Your Earnings And Your Mail List And i think social media people is important for this service :

First of all check that your visitors are real or fake. And then do post your google ads on good positions and make them perfect for your page. Do not post more than 3 ads per page. Then you will get good earnings.

Hi,


I would personally recommend you to join a free home business since 1998, the one I am associated with.

OR

Sign up at ClickBank | A Global Internet Retailer and start promoting digital products.



Good luck!

First, I know nothing about the gaming niche in general or this game in particular. But in terms of marketing, some things are universal

Do you know the demographic of this market? Is the game geared towards adults or kids? If it's kids, you may have a hard time selling them anything. If it's geared towards adults, then you have more options.

You said you have a list of 500 adding about 5 per month. I assume you are giving something away to get them to sign up? Are you emailing them regularly? Do you have an autoresponder set up with at least 7 emails? Do you have content or offers in your emails?

Also, even though your site is focused on one game, chances are your subscribers play others. So you can have other gaming offers in your emails. There has to be products you can offer as an affiliate...

I have known people who can get on average $5 per subscriber per month, even with a list of 500. It seems to me you have a list started - concentrate there a bit more. Also find ways to bring up your subscriber rate. If with that many visitors you only get 5 per month, your offer is not enticing enough.

This is the problem with Adsense and PPC campaigns. Have you considered becoming an affiliate and promoting other video games?
As people mentioned above, people usually play more than one game. Why get paid for clicks when you can receive a commission for a sale?
You are receiving 20*30 = 600 clicks a month. Let`s say a sale will get you the amount of money that 100 clicks get you. You will only need 6 sales a month to equal the revenue you are getting at the moment.
Remember, digital products commissions aren`t like physical products (where you get below 10% commission). With digital products you can have commission all the way to the 50% mark.

Have you tried utilising Banner Ads at all?

There are many CPA offers out there that will pay you a small commission for each person that signs up for an online "free to play" game. You could look in to what games may be relevant to your audience, and advertise them on your website using banners.

However, the first thing I would do in your shoes is test and tweak your opt-in page that pops up. Without sounding rude, your current stats are poor in respect to this. If you can capture your visitors details, provide them with value in your email follow ups, they are likely to consider any relevant offers that you put in front of them down the line.

You should have an opt-in opportunity available on the right of your home page also, rather than just the pop-up that you have, as many times people will close those without reading it at all... The problem this causes is that you then have people that may poke around the site and find real value in it, but there's no where they can sign up for more info. If there's an opportunity to opt-in and receive some additional free content that isn't available on the site, and other info/tips that's relevant to their interests, opting in will make sense to them.

With your current pop up, I'd experiment with the wording. I've closed it and it won't re-appear now but 2 main things I noticed is that:

1) You open with "over 400 other XYZ's have joined the newsletter" (not to word) - I wouldn't include this, as 400 isn't actually that grand a number for starters, but mainly because he first thing these people read should be something that either a) captures their attention b)explains why they should opt in... Ideally both... A question is usually a good starting point. For example: "Would your character benefit from having access to X information?" (You can do much better I'm not familiar with the game of course).

2) Somewhat related to above. You didn't really explain why they should opt-in. The closest you came to this was saying something like "You are amazing too!" If someone asks me for my email address they're going to need to do more than tell me I'm amazing for me to hand it over. If you said something like ""Would your character benefit from having access to X information? My X Guide about Y will allow you to do Z with your character! Enter Your Email To Get Instant Access!" (Again, apologies for the algebra but I know nothing of this game haha)

I hope you find some of this helpful. Other posters may agree or disagree, but I'd say focus on getting more opt-ins, then follow that up with testing out some banner ads with CPA offers.

All the best!

Take a minute and read this post by Raydal:

Good stuff.

This is great advice!

Video games are like crack. People need a constant fresh supply.

There are free-to-play games that will pay a CPA fee if people sign up through your link. It's very easy to get gamers to sign up as it costs them nothing. New games usually pay for sign ups until they have a player base built up. There is a constant supply.

When SecondLife was new, I made a bunch of money promoting free sign-ups for $0.75 each.

This dude pulls in $15,000 a month promoting a CPA app offer. The one I mentioned in my first post.

Users download the app, then collect points for installing other apps onto their phone and running them for 30 seconds.

Once the user collects enough points, they can redeem them for a Google Play or Apple Store gift card.

The $10 gift card can be used to buy gems, or other in-app purchases so your readers don't have to spend their own money and can advance in the game.

Here is a link to the dude's channel that makes $15k a month: https://www.youtube.com/user/ClashofClansStrats

Watch the video on his welcome page to see how he helps his viewers get free gems in Clash Of Clans.

Summoner's War has in-app purchases, so I think promoting Free My Apps or Feature Points would be your best bet.

Put a link to it in your sidebar, top and bottom of posts, and then under your YouTube videos.

Here's a link to Feature Points: https://featurepoints.com/web/partner

Here's a link to Free My Apps: http://welcome.freemyapps.com/affiliates.html

You could create a Clickbank product for this game, sort of guide to be a good player etc.

If you send them a personalized email with your traffic numbers, you may get an affiliate manager to push your application through.

I put that up mainly for the public, but you get a good example of how it's being pulled off.

You can't find a video game-related affiliate program? I find that hard to believe

P.S. Have you thought about shifting your strategy a bit? Maybe collecting emails or building your own info product? Just a thought

By the way, I have not done AdSense stuff in many years now so please tell me if what I see is right.

I would think that if I am on a site revolving around gaming that the ads I would see would be somewhat related. Yes? No?

Your AdSense ads I see on my browser are Staples, Sling, Maintenance Software, GetApp. Out of all of those, I DID recently order stuff from Staples - but those other sites/products I never been to.

To me, if the ad is not somewhat related, why would I click on it?

Video gamers are typically more tech savvy and thus less likely to click on Adsense ads.

If you want to monetize then try posting Amazon affiliate links to new video games that are coming out.

Amazon isn't really a good fit for his site -- it's a mobile game.

Get your site optimize for mobile users.Hope it will convert better.

I would suggest contacting game developers/companies directly. I would do this myself for several niches, but am too lazy to build affiliate websites. For sure there is a lot of potential for someone who manages to make the connections.

What does all your audience have in common?

Mobile games. And mobile game players, for the most part, are always looking for a freebie.

Here's the plan:

1. Signup for some email newsletter company like MailChimp, Aweber, etc. Build a list offering a weekly email about new, "free" games.
2. Contact Mobile game networks that pay you per install.
3. Every week, look around and find some new, free games to offer your list. Send an email with the free ones you found, plus the "pay per install" ones the network gave you. Also add one or two Clickbank links for "guides" or "gaming" products or whatever to see if they convert. Make it fun and inject a personality into it. Congrats, you've just monetized every email and provided value to your community.
4. Now wait until you have 500-1000 subscribers and start selling space in your newsletters to game developers for a nice fee. This will involve reaching out to a few first and offering a low price so you can get some metrics. Then use those metrics to charge an accurate fee. The larger the list, the larger the fee.
5. Create more mobile game sites with more tips that add people to the same list. Or create one mega "authority' site with all the different games in their own categories. Your choice.
6. Later on, you can start sending surveys in your email that can segment your audience into different age groups and income levels. Now you can charge extra fees for targeting demographics.
7. Repeat and build a traffic empire for the mobile market.

With this method, you're going beyond "making money from visitors". You're building a traffic network that can be monetized in so many ways (co-reg, for example).

Good luck.

$150 a month from a non-authority website is good. Change your perspective.

It seems you have just placed ads around the outside of the site. While this may be good for UX, most readers will have ad blindness. At Ezoic we have worked with thousands of sites, and we have found that testing different ad combinations and locations makes a huge impact. Try putting ads in content as well and track how it affects both UX and revenue.

I just checked out your site again and wanted to drop in to congratulate you on busting your ass.

It's the one key that separates people who make money, and the ones who keep wondering why they can't make it work.

I like to call it reckless abandon, moving forward without regard for the "what if's". Whatever you call it, keep it up. You've shown what a lil persistence will get you.

Congratulations again, buddy. Glad to see it's working out for you. Best of luck!
