what to do, what to do!

I have a social community I started, I have about 700+ members.

What is the best way to make money besides contextual ads?

Have a premium section and charge a monthly fee.

Well i would say send email..with some zip cod submit programs or something..not everyone will buy premum membership till you offer something special..you are best off with email marketing.

Start making polls about what people like, find out the exact demographics of your users, and then build email lists from there, because a targeted email list is $.
With those lists you can then in the future send out targeted emails with affilate or related offers that will convert high.

Also on top of the polls throw in some surveys, but the ones that YOU get paid on submission.

As well as throw up some zip/email submits banners as that will probably get a few signups.

And always stay active and keep your voice active on the site, make yourself the "TOM" of your site, the better interaction the users have with the site owner/admin(s) the better.

Clever plug for your site!

I agree with lv - find out what they want and you should do well with targeted email marketing.
