Many people fail to sell ads on their blog from their blog. Here are a few tips that you can use to sell all the ad spaces from your blog.
Write Original Quality Content – If you want to be one the top bloggers on the internet then you need to write original and top quality content for your blog. No one would want to advertise on a blog that has duplicate or stolen content. Also aim to write high quality content, this will help to make your blog more successful.
Publish Regularly –Remember publishing regular will help to inform advertisers that you are an active blogger. Doing this will make them want to advertise on your blog without even hesitating to purchase.
Increase Your Blog Traffic –As I mentioned above, traffic is really important when it comes to selling ads on your blog. People advertise so that they can gain traffic to their website, blog or online businesses. If your blog doesn’t have much traffic then it will hardly have any success in selling ads.
Advertisem*nt Location –Place advertisem*nts for sale in location where people want to get their banners shown. Header, sidebar and near the content area are great places to advertise.
Let Advertisers Choose Location –Most times I make money selling ads on my blog because the advertiser want their ad to be shown in specific place on my blog. Let them choose where they want to advertise and then work out a price, if this is comfortable to you.
Don’t Over-Crowd –If you place too much advertise here banners all over your blog then chances are that you will fail to sell even one of that ad space. Having too much ads on your blog can make your blog look like a messy billboard.
Also having a few ads on your blog will make the advertisers rush to buy that ad space, because they want to get it before someone else. After that ad space is sold then you may add a few more if you wish.
Your Advertise Here Page Helps –On this page you can give reasons and benefits why advertisers must advertise on your blog. State your traffic stats, Alexa rank, price, size and location. Also leave a contact forum on that page so that advertisers can contact you if they want to purchase from another location on your blog.
