Aside from adsense I seriously don't have any idea how to make money with my blog?

I know about inserting adsense into my blog, but making money out of it is not really that easy. I am fortunate enough to have more than a thousand hits a day but that doesn't really translate into big money, the best I get so far is about $1 a day. So my question is how do I make serious money with blogging? -access out, God speed!
