Let’s do Business with Real Online Companies

One of my fellow bloggers, and a guy I’ve “followed” for a long time has put a new spin on advertising. Adgitize combines the power of affiliate marketing, blogging and advertising into a comprehensive advertising program.

You can become an affiliate and simply promote the program, earning a commission every time one of your clients purchases advertising.

You can become a “publisher member”, placing the Adgitize widget on your blog/web site and then participate in income-earning activities. You get paid for blogging, for viewing other ads on other publisher pages, and also for Adgitize views on your pages.

Of course, the main reason for Adgitize is to become an advertiser and purchase advertising. This is where you really see the power of Adgitize. Most advertisers report they’re earning at least as much as they’re spending. That makes their return on investment very sweet, indeed.

So, here’s what you’re waiting for… How much does it cost?

If you’d like to become an affiliate, there’s no cost. You can become an affiliate by clicking here.

Want to be like me and become a publishing member? Click here and then be sure to select “Publisher”.

Now, if you’d like to become an advertiser, click here and choose Advertiser. You can choose the size of your ad (full banner or 125×125) and also the length of time for your ad to run. Adgitize accepts Paypal. That means you’re welcome to pay by credit card even if you don’t have a Paypal account.

Happy advertising!

What do you see?

I see a way to engage your readers.  I see a way to unobtrusively share an opportunity for you to fire your graphics designer. I see a way (if you want to really go hog wild) to create all kinds of neat, new advertising without getting directly in your reader’s face.

Go on… go look at it. I’ll wait for you…

So, let me tell you a bit about this incredible software. You know, the more things change, the more they stay the same. I’ve been around this internet marketing world a long time, and it looks like some “retro” ideas are working well.

My roommate, Cindy is actually the affiliate owner of this neat piece of software. With it, you can create banners, buttons, headers, footers, and yes… peel away ads.

Here’s even better news… we’re giving you free access right now, right here. Don’t sit around and wonder if it’s the right thing to do, because I can’t believe this offer will last long.

I know from reading a number of internet marketing forums that this software is all the rage, and more importantly… the affiliates are chomping at the bit to begin earning referral income, and there’s not much income when it’s free… So, you get the picture, right?

Grab your own free access right now!

Tired of sharing your ad income with the companies who promise you all kinds of traffic, leads and ad income?

There’s a “new kid” on the block that’s just right for folks who have limited budgets. This is software you own, and may use across ALL your sites and blogs for a single fee. Depending upon how you price your advertising, you could pay for the software with just a couple of ads.

I’m talking about OIOPublisher. No, I’m not being paid to write this article. I purchased it in early October and have been doing a little testing before I share with you.

When I purchase software, I look for solid support. Although I’ve not needed it, Simon Emery, the founding owner of OIOPublisher, is very responsive via a members’ forum. He answers requests in a timely, sensible, understanding manner.

What can you do with OIOPublisher?

So far, I’ve easily set up banner ads, text ads, and inline (within a post) ads. You can also sell paid reviews (full posts with or without disclosure) and products/downloads.

Your two sources of payment are PayPal and Entrecard.

You can set your advertising to run any time from 1 to as many days as you want. I’ve been testing 30 days per ad. That gives your advertiser a lot more exposure for their money.

You’re free to charge (and keep) whatever you choose. I’ve seen ads sold for as little as 10 EC and as high as $100 per month. You can even set your ads up so your advertiser may simply subscribe. That means they’ll renew automatically at your set price.

If you want, and have enough advertisers, you can set up your ads so they’ll rotate.

You may set up your OIOPublisher within your WordPress script as a plug-in or you may set it up on your server as a “stand alone”. That lets you run ads on sites built with something other than WordPress.

You also get a customizable affiliate program that covers ad and software sales.

So, how much is all this control and power going to cost you? How about a cool $45… that’s a one-time fee for lifetime updates. Like I said, you can recover your costs with just a few ads. To purchase OIOPublisher, check out my own affiliate link. Yes, I’ll get a cut from your purchase, but hey… that’s part of what makes this software so appealing.

Quite some time ago, I instituted an “Advertiser Loyalty Program” for folks who belong to Entrecard, an advertising community for bloggers.

Here’s the deal on my “Advertiser Loyalty Program”.

Every time you purchase a 24-hr ad spot from me, I enter you into a pool of that month’s advertiser. That means, at least, you have a 1 in 31 chance of winning at least 60 EC from me. I have five blogs, so you are welcome to advertise across all five and compete for each of the pools.

I also keep track of how many times you advertise with me. See that “Most Loyal Advertisers” in my Blogroll? Each of those bloggers have advertised at least 10 times with me. They may have advertised two times on each blog, or 10 times in just one blog. Either way, they all earned a permanent link for their efforts.

I also have a “big pool” made up of all the advertisers. I set aside 25% of the credits I receive from advertising, and when that totals 500, I go to a random number generator and select a winner, awarding them all 500 EC.

Who’s been winning? That’s where the link love comes in… Be sure to check out these folks. They each received at least 60 EC from this blog.
