- Ideas for Generating Advertising
-
- 1. Friends, family, coworker's, and neighbors. Let all of them know what
- you are doing. You don't need to try and sell them on an ad, just let them
- know what you are involved in and ask their considering you the next time
- they need to advertise anything.
-
- 2. Fleet Managers at local Auto Dealerships. As they deal in volume, they
- are always looking to advertise their wares to as big an audience as is
- possible.
-
- 3. Local Collector Car Auctions. This is an ideal means to pick up an ad or
- two.
-
- 4. Your own local classifieds. This is both the regular newspaper and any
- free weekly circulars. Watch for items which would be of interest on a
- national, regional, or local basis. Antiques, collector autos, coins,
- travel tickets. These are just a few. Call the advertiser. Ask them if they
- would be interested in appealing to a larger population base.
-
- 5. Local ad agencies. Package a deal together for them. Something which
- they could use for their clients. You have to remember that spending $250
- on a lunch for these people while they are trying to attract a large
- account is small change. Offering them an ad package of say 500 ads to use
- as they see fit would fit right into their monthly budget and if SilverNet
- would sway only a single account every six months, it would more than pay
- for itself.
-
- 6. Travel Agencies.
-
- 7. Take your own ad out in one of the free weekly circulars. Don't expect
- immediate results but if a company sees your ad on a consistent basis, they
- will trust you enough to do business.
-
- 8. Post flyers at Grocery Stores.
-
- 9. Offer a commission to those users on your board to those users that
- bring you advertisers.. 5 to 20% of revenue from those advertisers
- will bring a lot of money to those that work at selling your services.
- Draw a big check on your bulletin screen advertising silvernet with
- your users name... make it a commission check payable to your user..
-
- Many Many more.
-
- The key is persistence. Keep working towards it and it will come. Don't set
- your goals too high. One big account which generates $1000 a month is nice
- but if you lose it, you lose a big chunk of change. If you had 10 accounts
- generating $100 a month, losing one wouldn't detract that much from your
- income. Of course these numbers are not numbers to live by. 10 $1000
- accounts are much nicer than the 10 $100 accounts.
