I have a website I fail to monetize, help needed

[WebAppDev]

Hi Everyone,

I am a newbie in affiliate marketing, I tried couple of things and no luck, any advice would be appreciated

I have a web app with free online tools for sysadmins using PowerShell language, not enough features for a subscription model, good connection with the users, viewed as a 'community' site

It gets 120k page view monthly, 10k registered users, traffic mostly from well developed countries (US, UK) , IT specialists mostly

I tried and failed with:

- Donations, I received around 250$ when the website was created (users them self told me to add donate button) Additional 100$ with release of new version after 1 year, now it's been 2 years since creation and donations went silent

- Amazon Affiliate, I introduced a single link in nav bar 'Powershell books' directly to amazon and I saw some conversions, 10$ daily, I though I can scale it with more visible content but Amazon deletes my account due to lack of original content - it's a web app not a blog

- Peerfly CPA offers, I've added static banner ads I thougth will be relevant to my users, but I got only single click and no conversions, I just got accepted to MaxBounty, I hope they'll have more relevant offers


From what I've read I honestly thought I got good quality traffic, but I must be doing something wrong as I can't monetize it, most of tutorials are for simple landing pages or blogs, do you have any advice for a web app?

I can post the site if that helps but I can't find info if that's not against forum rules

IT people are interested in hardware and may buy some applications ...

'Powershell' is Windows so they might be ______?
Try to do a survey on the website and get some user feedback -- input on their (the website users' interests).

Keep any survey short and sweet -- not 20 question more like 3 and get a 1-10 rating on the website's usefulness.

Add a comment or suggestion box. Learn how to know your users better
