If you are making only 1k per month from 300k hits per day that means you are either not presenting the adsense in the correct way or you are blogging about a subject that does not have any competition for the niche that advertisers are willing to pay for clicks other than a few pennies. As an example I have a site that makes around $400.00 per month that only get 150-300 hits per day.
With proper research and the way you setup the blog you can potentially create a great income stream even without hitting huge amounts of traffic. It is all in what you blog about and the amount of people who may be interested.
