Try This For Monetizing Your Blog

I have a blog that gets about 1500 uniques per day,
and I am constantly trying new things to improve
the site's monetization (i.e., make money!)

Typically the most responsive approach is some
sort of zip code submit campaign where I get paid
on a per lead basis.

This morning I tried something new just for grins
and set up a banner ad featuring one of my own
"make money" products. But instead of using a boring
ebook cover as the image, I used a funny picture of
me fishing and added some text about making money
while having lots of fun.

Now the day is still young, but so far I've had lots more
clicks than I normally would have from the site at
this point. It's actually kind of fun to keep checking
my stats!

So my tip is this: try something silly and eye catching
when you create your next ad (maybe use an actual
photo like I did).

Granted, it's nothing earth-shattering but worth a try.
I'll post back in a day or two with my results.

 

Cool thought, thanks for sharing. I guess and eye-catching photo would make me click more often than a boring picture of an ebook. Hope it works out for you.

 

Finally, a creative thread, with some intelligence behind it.

You don't see that many here on this board.

Thank you.



P.S., can we see it?

 

Good idea! I've also tried things like this before and an unusual ad can make a big difference to the CTR

 

Well, it's kind of obvious isn't it? Doing an unconvential ad will result in more clicks, however, it won't necessarily result in more conversions (it's possible ofcourse), depends on the public & niche.

 

Thanks for sharing.In these days you must be unique in some way to get attention.

 

Great idea..I will try use your idea

 

Great idea!

With that picture you are actually promoting, very cleverly, one of the psychological benefits people want from a make money online product -
freedom to do what you enjoy.

 

Hi AMG2000,
Nice approach. Thx for sharing the info.

 

thanks for the info bro. thats nice

 

That's a good point... I hadn't thought of it that way!

 

Thanks for sharing this - it's come at a very opportune moment.

I'm just putting my blog together and this is a great idea to brighten the thing up.

Great idea...thinking outside the box. I think that's what gets people to pay attention. We are so used to seeing the same ol' stuff, when you mix it up...people notice.

Very good approach! People are bored from the standard offers and marketing tricks.

 

Very good tip, I found a blog today that actually uses a similar technique and it really caught my eye! Refreshing to see something different

 

Useful tips, i will have a try for my next ads!
