If you have a lot of uniques but not necessarily commercial traffic, such as in your case political content, then you can just sell adspace directly. For example, your traffic won't be good for the average Adsense advertiser, but it could be very good for certain niche advertisers since your visitors might fit some key demographics. You can get traffic and demographic data from Google Analytics and put it onto an 'Advertise with Us' page on your blog. You could put up some empty banners saying 'Your ad here' and link it to that info page.
This kind of content in general probably won't make you rich, since a lot of advertisers won't go near it, but there are other ways to leverage it. Email lists and brand identity will help with what you decide later on. Publishing your own books such as Roosh is just one.
THis is a great point. I frequently run google searches and investigate blogs of people in my niceh and often reach out and offer to advertise with them so htey are not even having to put in any effort I'm actually contacting them. I'll occasionally do the same with youtube and offer to sponsor peoples videos or channel.
Depending on the quality and traffic the site gets depends on what I offer. Typically its not a lot but probably better than adsense will pay you. SOme blogs I pay as little as $5 a month to advertise on, I think the blog or forum I pay the most for is about $400 to have a few ads rotating as 300x250 banners near top of page.
