How to make the most money with your site...

Use any of these with your own risk!
If using on a active forum may make activity go down if done wrong! So please refer to above!

Here is a quick list I though I would make for you guys on how to make the most money with your website so here I go!

1. Adding a spot in the header for Personal member ads
   
   Having a spot available for members to put their own ad for their site is a good idea because it gives the members a reason to stay on whatever kind of site you are hosting and also a reason for them to stay...
   
   
2. Adding Google Adsense
   
   Google Adsense is hard to get accepted into but once you are accepted into Google Adsense it's easy earning as long as you follow all of their rules.. I would recommend adding like 3-5ads thoroughout one page depending on how active you forum is
   
   Places I recommend to use them at :
   Side Navagation
   Header
   Footer
   (The other side of Navagation bar)
   
   Try to not add to many if your site is still new because it might get you a bad repuatation.
   
   
3. Adding a VIP group (Please refer to here)
   
   Adding a VIP group to your blog, website, or blog at the right time could be one of the best things you can do for your site but if you add it at the wrong time many people may think of your site the wrong way.. Most people have a set price I agree a set prices are nice but I wouldn't have them over $5 for a month. The forums that get the most succeess with the VIP groups are the ones that only charge like $10 a year, a poissilibty of a idea is to have different stages of VIP groups depending on how much you donate to the site.
   
   

I will be adding more later but I want to think of some killer idea for you guys :D

Uuuummmm...
I don't like to start from the end. In my opinion you need to create some serious plans and after that build the business.

I think CPA is also the smart way to make money from sites!

You can try directly selling advertising as your site grows. Maybe join an affiliate program with good returns and promote it a bit. Adsense work good to earn money with site.

the point is made, however I will say it again-- have a few sources of income.

The best way to make money is to use your site to collect subscribers. Offer a valuable report for free in exchange for their email address. That way you'll be able to get traffic to your articles, products or affiliate promotions. Build a list of subscribers and you'll be able to make a lot more money than using adsense ads.

Email marketing is the best of the best way to make money online. Once you have people in your list then you can market anything to them

There have many ways to make money from your site.But, how your making most of the money from your site I think depend on your strategy of making money.
Someone making money from Adsense, someone from affiliate or others.Actually everyone is making a good amount of money from preferred way.

Well Email marketing and subscribers are not really my thing. I have been always focused on generic traffic from search engines. Now I'm trying to move to Social traffic like FB, Twitter, Pinterest etc. Main thing is quality traffic. If you get that earning money online is not hard.

I will support google AdSense and other AdSense programs:)

I do agree with you that "building a list of subscribers" is beneficial but you cannot deny the fact that targeted traffic from the SE's bring in more revenues.

If your website has decent traffic, you can make good money selling ad space on your blog. Moreover you can sell services through your website also.
