Blog Sponsorships are going to generate millions of dollars in additional revenue for bloggers in 2007. Learn how to attract blog sponsors, contact blog sponsors, negotiate with blog sponsors, and so much more.
Izea, formerly PayPerpost is currently accepting sign ups for this new advertising system. Advertisers can now sponsor blogs, or in other words, advertise on their blog! Why do people confuse blog sponsorships with advertisements? Some more information about the new advertising or sponsorship system:
"In addition to sponsored posts, SocialSpark has created a viable alternative to traditional online display ads designed to provide a higher return on investment for both advertisers and bloggers. The revolutionary new form of advertising allows marketers to set a price range they are willing to pay to sponsor a blog via an interactive ad unit called a Blog Welcome™. The new unit welcomes a user when they visit a blog and then collapses into a small persistent sponsorship bar that remains at the bottom of a browser."
Below is a brief video I made while attending AdTech in New York earlier this month (November 2007). I should have shot more video while attending the actual conference for everyone. AdTech was a great experience. Always good to see friends such as Web Publishing Blog and Diorex, as well as make new friends and business contacts. Hope you enjoy the videos and photos and I look forward to seeing new faces at SES Chicago in December.
Some more information about my experiences at AdTech New York:
- Dont let booth people talk your head off. Regularly interupt them in their spleel. If you dont shut them up, they will talk forever. In fact, they like it when you interupt so they don't have to keep on going. - Joined the AdFemme network (pictured above) in a shameless attempt to meet female advertising execs. I't wasnt my idea! - So many of these companies already do business, it can often be difficult to take deals and spread them around. Always keep some of your ideas to yourself, as people will steal them. - The company that is called "No More Landing Pages" is in fact a landing page company. My sister works for Helio, and their slogan is, "Dont call us a cell phone company." Who the hell are these brand managers behind this? They seriously need to learn brand marketing, clarity, and copy writing. - Mr. K's restaurant is the damn finest Gourmet Chinese restaurant in the world. The powerful beam of light in the center of the table illuminates your drinks. - Tom Shack and Mr. K's are a dangerous combination. I mean seriously, who the hell can eat two plates of deep fried beed. After a while it tastes like deep friend cigerrettes. - There were a lot of fine ass company employees at AdTech. - Someone from Blogsvertise wants to buy my website Blog Sponsorships. - I must have seen about 5 WF members representin. - Pacha party was the non-punani party. Very humid and crowded. - Some really amazing companies are emerging in the internet marketplace. Pub Matic is one of them. If you are a publisher and work with display advertising networks. Check them out. - Web Publishing blog discussed domain names and how they are still an undervalued asset. - Didnt get to see some of the bigger bloggers (ShoeMoney, JohnChow, UberAffiliate) and others.
So I didn't really want to post this - because I think Oprah secretly wants me to post it (and I don't want to support that rich as bitch). Why would Oprah want me to post this copyrighted footage of her show? Because she is a damn brilliant marketer and has been pulling this shit for years. You don't get to where Oprah's at unless you actually do stuff like this. However, I don't really think Oprah actually came up with this idea, as I doubt she actually knows how to use a computer (which can clearly be seen when her curled up paws try to type "P Diddy Assistant" into the computer.
Patrick Swayze is seriously the gayest heterosexual I have ever seen. Once again, you don't get to be the most super gay heterosexual in America and dominate the hearts of teenage girls and gay men, without being such a damn good marketer (or his Agent at least). So Patrick embraces this viral online video and decided to come on the show. What a great way to promote his new release of Dirty Dancing. This Oprah show was the ultimate plug episode of the season. I was rather shocked to hear that Patrick and his wife do flying lessons. In fact, they have been pilots for 20 years and his wife is an aerobatic monster! She soars through the air with 7 other men and dominates them. I wonder who dominates more, Patrick or whoever the fuck his wife is - my guess its his wife, he even admits that he is her bitch. Must suck to be gay and married.
Oh yeah, the guy who let his wife dance with Patrick Swayze is even gayer then Swayze himself. Who the fuck lets his wife dance with Patrick Swayze and not punch him the face!
