babe of the day site, how would you monetize?

I had a site over a year ago that had over 1000 unique visitors and growing, problem was I couldnt figure out how to monetize it. Since it was hosted on wordpress, they shut it down without warning. Now I'm considering doing it over again since I already know exactly how to reproduce the results. But, I'm still stumped on how best to monetize the site. Any suggestions?

    Make it a dating site. Ask people to pay a small membership fee before they get in.

    Also, you can make it a modeling site where upcoming female models are encouraged to register in order to showcase themselves by paying a small fee.

      Thats a great idea, I like the idea of using it to showcase new models looking to make a name for themselves.

        One of the newspaper chains in Canada runs a daily spot called the "Sunshine Girl." It's a picture with a short blurb about the gal in question and once a week there is one gal who also has a video on the website version: sunshinegirl.canoe.ca -- Today's SUNshine Girl

        One of the ways they monetize it is with calendars (certainly not the most innovative idea but an option just the same). As KS suggested, I'm sure there are some creative ways you could capitalise on model wannabees who want their pictures/videos/profiles to get more exposure. You wouldn't believe how many of the Sunshine Girls claim to be, or want to be, models.

        If I am not mistaken, there is also a Sunshine Guy version. If you opt for the dating site suggestion, maybe there is a way to bring the two ideas together.

      Considering that many women visit a site like this (it isn't just men), you could also monetize with links to upscale women's products (eyelash thickener is a good example). These products tend to be pricey, and could conceivably give you a nice commission.

      As someone else suggested, dating site links might be a good idea as well, and of course, relationship advice publications as well.

      Endless possibilities, really.

    Sell them? that's kinda...

    i have no idea what you mean by a babe contest. I understand the Calendar..

    But I'm pretty sure he wants to monetize the site, not the woman.

    I would suggest using one of those Dating affiliate programs. Guys who are scouring the web for pictures of girls, probably want a date as well.

    I don't look at "Babe of the day" sites so I wouldn't know..

      sites like that are usually eye candy

      a "babe" contest would be a contest in which the babes are competing - for prizes..but definitely the chance to be a "babe" in the official Babe Calendar.

      One babe is featured per month in the calendar. This is common here in the states.

      if its a babe of the day thing, the site can only monetize the women, as they are the content of the site.

    Three Ideas:

    1.) Put a Content Gateway w/ CPA offer (Adscendmedia has a pretty good system).
    2.) Offer premium content to people on your newsletter (helps build a list).
    3.) Dating Banner Ads

      I really like the idea of running a calendar, I will find a source for the images that will allow me to do that. It would be really cool to offer a way to vote for the best images to be put on the calendar.

        Some Fantastic ideas from Warriors, no surprise there... i would suggest
        having a Babe of the Day, You could charge small fee for this, and then

        Reverse Engineer all the ways you could monetize your site around each
        female babe of the day... The possiblities with this one are endless, and
        both male and female will traffic this site for sure.

        Make a complete Target List of Conceptual Monetization for your site, then
        take the time to Reverse Engineer each and every one.... heres one idea

        Make one $7.00 downloadable product that would appeal to your traffic,
        How about something like, Discover 27 ways to meet the Girl of the Day?

        another-- Dating Models, Natural 10's and the Launguage that helps you
        pick them up...

        And you could have a link, to the PICK UP ARTIST'S Products, thats a huge
        underground market, can't remember the guys name, but you could find him
        as the host of VH1'S The Pick Up Artist ... oh his site is the "Venusian Arts"

        Good Luck... now quit pondering, Get this site up immediately, then Monetize it,
        take some action today, not tommorrow or next week, Right Now...

        Regards,
        Robert Nelson

        sell as many of your own products as possible. YES! Exactly what I was saying, have women enter, and top votes get in the calendar.

        REAL WOMEN....they submit photos. For the calendar, you can arrange for a pro photo shoot.

        Think hot or not. trust me. If your site is legitimate, females will spend money to compete for the crown.

        And men will both vote and buy the calendar.

        Don't forget to start a mailing list, and send out related offers.

        You can do babe ecards etc...possibilities for monetization are endless...just own as much as you can, and be an affiliate as little as possible.

    I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question.

    Have you gone to the other top sites doing the same thing, especially the ones which have been around for years, and looked to see how they monetize?

    If someone is being successful with a long term site, then many times it means they found a successful way to monetize, and there is no reason for your to reinvent the wheel. Promote the same things they are.

    CPA offers that would be interesting to young males. I would look for pay per lead offers with high epc.

    Signup to an affiliate network, and find "racy" dating ads. Then create ads saying.

    "meet there girl of the day"
    "meet hot girls"
    etc..

    It's better to base the idea around "girl of the day" but dating ads none the less would be a good choice. I also agree with other, you should deifntiely test PUA stuff...

    The contest could generate more traffic if you have a prize. Even a shirt that says "Babe of the Day Winner" or whatever.

    To see how others monetize, look at sites like hot or not.

    if you have some cash, an insurance underwriter will guarantee a top prize based on chance

    like when mcdonalds does monopoly....they have NOT set aside 1 million dollars - they paid about 35-65k to INSURE against a winner.

    You can do a 50k prize for about 8k and grow a list of about 10,000 in the process.
