Hi,
How would you monetize a website that has very general traffic (entertainment)?
I own a website that's getting most of its traffic from several social media channels.
The traffic is starting to grow and I think it has the potential of reaching a good amount of volume in the future if I continue making content for it.
The issue is that the traffic is very broad, therefore, it's hard to find an offer in a particular niche that most of the visitors would be interested in.
I'm currently still testing Google Adsense, but the earnings are pretty low (about $0.01/visitor).
It currently doesn't have the required traffic volume to apply to Mediavine or other more reputable display networks (and I'm not very sure they accept these type of "viral" sites anyway).
The audience mostly consists of visitors from T1 countries (about 90% from the US). The age groups also vary.
I thought about trying to promote sweepstakes, but I feel that the website would lose the visitors' trust by doing so.
Most of the competitors use Adsense as well, but I hoped there would be a more profitable way.
I know that only by testing many offers and verticals will help me decide what's more profitable, but I was hoping that some of you might have more experience in making money with general traffic and give me some ideas to start from.
