Probably not that different, although I don't know it that well.

  You should. Livejournal has been run by an excellent team for years and they've perpetually struggled with this. One of the big problems of "Web 2.0" is that web communities lead to high user engagement, which leads to two things: (i) low click through on ads, (ii) self-selection of an audience that's got a lot of time but no $$$. The result is that you can bust your butt to build a community with, say, 40k users, and still be struggling to pay for $800/month server costs, never mind getting paid yourself for the butt-busting. I've got an answer to this, sort of a way to make a "community" site without actually having a community, but that's a card I hold close to my chest.

    Indeed, it is extremely hard. Advertisements seem like the only way to get money from this kind of sites, but pay very little. Good luck with your 'card' and thanks for your comment.
