    Get a job at McDonalds.

    Seriously, no one here is going to tell you how to legitimately make money online (and anyone that does will try and get you to sign up under their affiliate link). Read all the useful information on this forum - don't beg people to give away their personal secrets.

    Sounds like you already have a lot of information in your head. How much work have you actually done? Have you put any of it into action?

    Test, test, test and then test some more. I'm sure your current monetization tactic isn't the only possible solution.

    Test!

    Oh, and don't give up.

    Just try and try again!

    And BTW, don't scare visitors away. That hurts your site A LOT.

    First , never rely on making money online only , you should consider it as an extra income that can help you
    Second , you said you have a website , try to search how to market it , by yourself , and don't give up , you have a lot of adsense programs you can join it for free . Also try to upgrade your site frequently as much as you can . Good Luck .

    You say you have months and months of knowledge, you better take that back if you are gonna say you cannot make money...

    My first ever site was on freewebs (not webs.com), and first payment i got on it from ads was $50...

    You just have to actually use your brains. I know people who know everything, but never done it practically so they suck.

    a tip i'll give: NEVER rely on others. If someone offers you free hosting (being not an official free host), dont take it. Anyone offers a domain for free, dont take it. Work it all from what you earn. If you have the desire, you will make it to the top ;)

    All about blackhat baby.

    What are you talking about?
    Never rely on others? You will always have to rely on others.
    If you pay for hosting from hostgator, you are relying on hostgator.
    When you make money from CPA networks, you are relying on CPA networks.
    When you get your information from forums, you are relying on the forums.
    You rely on the internet to make money.

    I think campolar means that he must search by himself , market his website by himself by posting in forums and blogs etc ..
    Of course he have to pay to host , and wait for google to pay him .

    If you get 500-1000 UV per day in your music site. Switch to Adsense first.
    Trust me, Its just for start. Well almost experts starts from scratch. If you have a lot of dedication, you can make it to the top.

    Adsense would be a good option, swap your cpa ads for adsense.
    1000 UV a day should get you around $5 - $10 a day :)

    If you stay with cpa are you showing ads that are relevant to your content?
    are the landing pages any good to those ads?
    how hard is it for the visitor to complete the action for the cpa?

    Test and test again.

    oh god forcing your users to take a survey?! who gave you that idea?

    What I love to do when I start on a new project is nothing but content and SEO and design for at least 6 months with no ads or anything to scare visitors away, then I will put ads on the site (usually adsense) this is just one of my methods you can also try affiliates like clickbank.
