App monetization

There is one program - Lexiconer , it is completely free. A new version is on the way (it will also be available for Linux now), I would like to know how can I monetize the application? At the same time, the program should still be completely free (no shareware).
The program for the first month was downloaded about 5,000 times, it would be nice to earn at least some money (50-100 rubles a day is enough for a start), in order to buy a normal domain, order a normal design for the site and pay for hosting.
Earnings on the site disappear (less than 100 hosts per day).
The application can connect to the Internet if required by the proposed method.

ps donates also disappear

Donates disappear, I want everything to be free ... but you need to monetize it.
You checkers or go? )
And why donates are bad, everything is free, but if anyone wants to, they will throw 10 bucks, I personally did this more than once.

It is possible to interpose advertizing somewhere someone's. For example, small banners a la icq.

IMHO
Well, as an option, we have such large lingua centers in Russia or whatever.
You can agree to release a stylized version for them. Add their name somewhere prettier (sorry, I didn’t download the program) In About, in cards, in the dictionary itself there. You can even come up with a separate functionality for them. For example, alternative translation options from the Lingua Center. So to write - The main translation, translation from the lingua.
Well, and a tab with lingua offices throughout Russia with phone numbers, addresses, and at least class schedules. In general, the clients themselves will tell you about the Wishlist, the main thing is to offer.
It’s just that the situation here is like this – I want it for free, don’t donate, don’t download banners via the Internet. There are generally three main options: The user pays, the sponsor pays and donate. ) You get only the option with the sponsor is most suitable.
P.S. For example, the Lingua Center said that in our city I only know them.

I would put it on e-junkie and promote it somewhere. This is what I do with my application .

donate?
Extended version?
Many, by the way, combine these two concepts in one. For example, Titanium Backup for android is completely free, but there is a $4 donate version with advanced functionality.

Donates and paid versions work very poorly in Russia. Better, as already written, a paid extended version, which will be much more convenient (for example, it will mix words, or it will be able to memorize more words)

Donate - no "PayPal and only with credit cards", always with the ability to pay via SMS, WebMoney, Yandex, QIWI. So that anyone can specify an arbitrary amount with which he is ready to part.
Banners - or a partner toolbar bundled with the program (be sure to check the box to refuse to install it).

Now there are many services that monetize mobile traffic. Type in Google - buying / selling mobile traffic and it will give you a lot of sites where you can register your application and earn money from advertising
