How to generate revenue in online forums?

We have a client who is running a forum on a niche subject. The forum
presently has 18,000 members and receives 3000 visitors per day. The
forum is run on vbulletin software. The client`s business model has so
far been advertising (adsense). But the earnings from selling these advertisements are very low. They
are now looking for alternative revenue models. What are some
other ways an online forum can generate revenue?

good luck
It depends on the niche. Some niches, you can do really well with affiliate programs combining with Adsense. Usually, with that traffic, you can do pretty good with Adsense alone. If you don't do well with Adsense, you might want to try to switch the ads position and do A/B testing.
with extra privilege to members would gather good revenue. People actually look
for it. Some more ways are banner advertisement, ads on the forum. All the
best!
