We have 20 online magazines with over 6,000 unique articles and even thought we do not do any SEO, almost always come up on Google's first page for searches on our articles.

As these lifestyle/entertainment magazines started as a hobby, we have never tried to make any money and now want to start. We have fake ads on our site to stop people from asking how we make money.

Our server stats shows we get approx. 1 million unique users, 1.2 million visits, 30 million hits and 3 million page views a month.

According to Alexa, we are in the 39,000 most popular websites in the world and 13,000 most popular in the US.

We are looking for someone with experience to help us monetize our sites and share in what they are able to generate. we don't even have a media kit but get lots of requests via email or phone for our prices. We know we need to redesign our sites to allow for more display advertising.

Anyone interested in getting on board?

With 20 niche magazines, 6,000+ articles and monthly scale in the millions of users/pageviews, the property is primed for a diversified monetization plan. Replies from and correctly flag obvious opportunity; the practical path forward is to turn that scale into predictable, measurable revenue while protecting search rankings and user experience.

Start with a measurement and sales package. Audit traffic by site, country, device, top landing pages and time-on-page, and export a 30/90-day summary. Create a one-page media kit and rate card that includes: monthly uniques/pageviews, top 10 URLs and categories, audience geography and device split, engagement metrics (avg time, bounce, returning visitors), ad placement mockups and available sizes, email/social reach, and a short case study or sample pricing. A good how‑to for media kits is here: . Use the basic revenue formula: revenue = (pageviews / 1000) * RPM, and treat RPM as the primary KPI to lift.

Build a revenue stack rather than relying on a single channel. Combine direct-sold sponsorships on high-traffic pages, programmatic partners for long-tail inventory, affiliate links for relevant articles, and sponsored content or newsletter sponsorships. Technical yield tools such as header bidding can materially increase auction revenue; see Prebid.org for implementation basics. Platforms that manage yield and operations can be useful if direct sales capacity is limited — evaluate them on transparency, reporting, and payment terms.

Operational checklist and cautions: prioritize mobile-first ad layouts and site speed, follow Better Ads standards to avoid intrusive placements (Coalition for Better Ads), implement cookie/consent and privacy pages, and run small A/B tests for placement and density to protect engagement. When vetting partners insist on clear viewability, fraud-prevention, payment cadence, and the right to run tests for 30–90 days before committing to exclusivity.

You can join ad network for dating/lifestyle sites, and you can monetize it for adsense.
