In this economy, it's not always easy to quickly sell ad space on your web site or blog. I had one $299 ad spot left on my blog that I'd been trying to sell for a couple of weeks to pay for the upgrade of my blog.
It dawned on me that I needed to practice what I preach. If I could suggest women team up to buy ad space in a magazine to make the cost more affordable, why not allow people to team up to purchase a one page ad on my site? I posted a tweet on Twitter.com around 2 a.m. that asked "Would you like to share the cost of a full page 12 month ad on WomenPartner.com for $50?". I sold two ads within two hours.
I woke up to find more people interested in buying one of the ads. I sold 5 ads in a 24 hour period of time. Visit the advertisers below and tell them I sent you. I sold all of the spots in less than 7 days by sharing my micro message on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and with my blog users.
Do you have ad space that you would like to move faster? Follow my lead. You don't have to lose money in this economy. You just have to think of ways that groups of individuals can team up to purchase your products and services. Check out the eclectic group of advertisers I attracted. I have a couple more ads to post.
