If you do take the plunge and start your
own site, you are going to want people to see that site. For them to
see it you have to advertise it. The main and most popular ways of
advertising sites are, emails via the Paid To Read sites, banners in
the form of rotator views or guaranteed clicks via most types of the
Paid To ... sites. You can also use traffic exchanges, sponsorship,
text links and many more methods as well. When you launch
your campaign, you have to have an ad that's, unique, eye catching and
informative with out being long winded. Have a good look around the
web, take note of the ads on TV, radio, billboards etc and note what
grabs your attention, what looks or sounds cheap, what looks or sounds
boring, what's unique etc. This should then hopefully give you a few
ideas as to what works and what doesn't.
You also need to be prepared to allocate
a certain amount of your earnings to cover the costs involved of
mounting an advertising campaign. You can use your points (if you earn
them) from some of the GPT programs to pay for some, upgrades may give
you x amount of monthly ads by mail, banners and / or text links. But I
do strongly suggest that if you are just starting out in GPT
and want to advertise, wait until you have earned the cost involved
first, and then use that to pay for the advertising. I suggest this for
a few reasons, because it is always better to operate in the black, if
for any reason you decide to give up internet-earning - it wont have
cost you anything. Plus you can use that time to glean valuable
information that you wouldn't necessarily have been aware of before,
and therefore, saved you wasting some of your hard earned funds. For
example it could have stopped you advertising at a site that would have
taken a long while to deliver the hits/views purchased, or, stopped you
advertising at one of the fraudulent sites that you perhaps hadn't had
the experience to recognize. Whilst this type of site wouldn't hurt you
financially, what damage would it have done to your reputation to be
found advertising at such a site? Hopefully I have given
you some ideas and things to think over. I wish you luck with your next
campaign and I look forward to seeing those ads around! |
