How to approach an advertiser ? #0

You have worked hard on your website for a while, and now, you suppose that it's time to monetize your site by selling advertising banners, videos, etc. How to seduce advertisers ? You should make them interested in your website, confident and... loyal once they give you a try.



It's whole a process, but it's not a machine. The closer you are to your potential advertisers, the more likely they will trust you in return. Simply keep on mind that your potential customers (advertisers themselves or ad-agencies) really appreciate to be listened and feel your interest on what they do and what try to buy. It's human !

The question is, how unique is your specific site ? Why advertising there instead of the competition ?


One first step consists on preparing a media kit for your website. Stay tuned for next tips !
