maximizing online earnings

    i'm an owner of a site (forum) and i have google adsens in my site to generate income out of it. But i noticed that these ads are not really making enough cash to support the needs of the site such as hosting, domain etc. The truth is that im only earning $1 - $3 in a day which is very insufficient considering the
    other overhead expenses. May I ask or seek help from anyone about maximizing my web income potential. Like is there any other way of earning aside from posting google adsense. Or perhaps some links to my site that would entail me of additional income. Thanks

    How many posts are there in your forum and what is your forum niche ? because for all types of forums you need some of the good posts to make it happening forums are meant to be for interactions - so give users some topic to discuss about

    hope this helps...

    Domain renewal is only once a year. Hosting is less than $30 a month. What is the "etc."?

    $180 vbulletin license
    $10 for the domain
    $10-$20/month for hosting
    --------------------------
    $400'ish for the year

    You are making $1-$3/day, which equates to $365 - $1095 /year. Expect $730ish average for the year.

    That means you are going to net $300+ by the end of the year.

    What's the problem here?

    Stop thinking short term.
