Hey guys!

I've got one semester left until graduation, and I've got a problem.

The Numbers

My affiliate site Tech Under 10 has been doing well the past few months. A combination of high sharability (thanks to the nature of the site,) and great SEO ranking have provided me a constant source of traffic. Since launch in mid-2016, I've hit almost 150k pageviews and 50k users in nine months- many of which are males between 18-35. Here's the problem.

Bankrupt-ish
A recent change in their payout policy has caused all affiliate sites selling electronics-related items to earn between 1-4%, as opposed to their previous payout method, which scaled based on products sold. Amazon's affiliate program is no longer viable. Since most of my products are in the "tech" payout categories, they're earning me pennies on the dollar. I want to get back to earning a few hundred bucks a day with this site- I know it's possible.

Where do I go from Here?
So at this point, I'm at a loss. I've got this site full of awesome products with a ton of traffic, but I'm not making anywhere near what I feel I could be earning with this much traffic. Do I throw ads on the site? Do I start selling my own products? Do I sell it? How do I convert the traffic to money?


TL;DR How would you monetize a tech site with 150k pageviews and 50k users?
