Background;
I started a gaming blog in 2012. I, and a handful of other people would actively post content on it for the next 3 years. We did so because we had advertising deals with select gaming brands, that I was lucky enough to secure. Then the contracts ran out, and I was left with no choice but to implement Google Adsense. Google Adsense makes me around $1 per day, with around 60 - 100 visitors per day. The blog has over 1000 blog posts (reviews, benchmarks, interviews etc.)
I later got involved with other ventures and the blog took a backseat. Now, I had to shut my new company due to new government regulations regarding my product (damn you tobacco lobby), and I am considering reviving my gaming blog.
The cool thing is that Tech PR companies still actively approach me for coverage, and majority of them dont hesitate in sending me games/hardware to review.
My target is to reach $50 in ad revenue per day.
In all likeliness, and considering realistically, how do I reach this target?
Edit:
Considering my life situation, I need a steady source of income. I am willing to grind daily, putting in the hours to make this blog reach its goal. Then in the future I can consider hiring a freelancer to take some work load off me. Undergrad students are more than willing to blog for freebies and a "stipend".
