My challenge is broadening my audience without losing my hardcore fans…
Go to Phoenix Forum. The number of gay affiliates who go is appallingly small. Why? Because most affiliates can't afford to go because they're not making enough money. It's sorta the reason why there's a lot less activity on the boards than there used to be 5 years ago.
To succeed these days you need to do more than blogging. You really need to build a community and a brand. My focus now is on programming things that others can't get off the shelf - to give myself a competitive advantage. Everything from a stab at a very different hookup site, to social media automation.
Do Tai from QueerMeNow and Bjorn from GayDemon promote your site? They're ones that come to mind that might do well with your stuff. There's also Str8UpGayPorn - the guy is a nasty cunt, and I think he's more "celebrity" focused, but he's got a following.
