Traffic Monetization: What are creative ways to monetize an advice / self-help blog with good traffic?

Joshua Schoenbart, CEO & Founder at The EyeBook, USA G20 YEA Delegate answered:

Great work on your blog! There are a few ideas that come to mind when thinking about how to monetize your advice driven blog.
-The first idea is to be a consultant individually for those visitors who might want to engage with you privately.
-The second idea is to offer premium membership to your users for most specific advice driven conversation. Websites attract visitors with free content and then they realize that they can get added benefits by paying a membership fee.
-The third, similar to a paid membership, private forums can be created to cater to your audience. Members can pay an annual/monthly fee to access the forum and interact with the other members.
-The fourth, surveys and polls; You can place surveys and polls from certain companies on your website that will pay you for the privilege. You can sign up to these sites and choose a particular survey/poll that will fit in with the content on your website. Visitors of your site can participate in voting, whilst you get paid for displaying it.
-The last idea, post other blog content on your site by charging them a fee to have their article/content published on your site (this will benefit their SEO and your blog's revenue).

Would love to continue this conversation and speak with you about different services that are both affordable and have proven success for many of my companies.
