Quick suggestions on how to monetize my platform?

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone would care to offer a quick suggestion for what method might be best to monetize my platform (CPA, CPC, etc.)? I know this is a really objective question, so hopefully I don't seem to lame asking it. But it'd be nice to get some advice from some of the experts!

Background: I've got a website that allows users to ask and reply to health questions for free - I won't plug it here because I'm still new and I don't want to be 'that guy'. I just launched 2 weeks ago, I wrote the code (LAMP stack), and I tried to create it to be really SEO friendly - but I'm definitely no expert on the subject. My hope is that it will work as a platform to help people connect, generate good meaningful content, and get me started making some supplemental income (in that order). I've got a few ads running on the site (adsense) and I'm running a small adwords campaign (adwords).

Question: Can someone offer me some insight on how they would monetize this? I'm sure I could do much better than a few adsense blocks running on the site. Should I try to create adwords campaigns that target a particular discussion and run CPA ads on the side? Should I try to just concentrate on SEM and stay with my current setup?

Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions, or questions!

    You could try CPALead, and make your users fill out a survey every time they view an answer. I would wait until you have a very steady user base before trying to get too crazy.
