A little advice needed

Flipper · Posted: Tue Jul 06, 2004 6:27 pm Post subject: A little advice needed

Hello,
I've figured out my niche and I've started building a website with content. The question is, where do I go to find the banner ads that can be clicked on to start producing income? I'm a camera operator, and see the companies that make it happen for me everyday, canon, fujinon, philips, sony, etc.

I also intend to create 'How to' eBooks for my target audience, where's a good place to start? I've seen PlanetPDF and a few others.

I do understand I need to do many more hours of research, but I figured I'd ask a pool of peeps that have been there and can give me a great start.

Thanks all
Razz

Thank you for the information!
I just joined SFI marketing group, someone had mentioned them in the forums. They're the same type of affliate system, right? If so I guess I need to get started with them.

Cheers

Very Happy

Hi Jason,
Commision Junction looks like they do have the advertisers im looking for but in there form, they ask for my SSI. I don't want to give that out even though you say they are a respected company.

As for SFI, they seem kinda pyramid based and I don't want that, I just want to get the related banners on my site.

Thank you
leif

Hey Jason,
Yes i realize they need to have it to pay me, what i was looking for was that you've gone through them, even though on your first reply you said they were respected, i just needed to hear from someone who had been there.

I'm gonna go through commission junction. thanks so much for the advice.

Very Happy

Hi Flipper Very Happy

You may also want to try Google Adsense. The best part is that their technology automatically serves your visitors with the right ads based on the content they are viewing on your site. So you need not waste spend time on searching merchants for your site and rather focus more on providing good content.

In answer to Seranade's question:

Hello all,
Here i am 7 months later. I've got the site up, I've gone to adsense, but I haven't got my site connected to the search engines yet because I'm still working on content which brings me to my next question.

How do I go about asking and paying my friends for the information I need. I work in television, and there are about 12 different positions that make tv go. (so to speak) I remeber someone in the forums mentioning going to a website that you hire writers to write for you. So, I was wondering whether i should create a little contract that signs my friends material over to me and I pay them for their services or if their is anything already out there?

Again, I thank all of you on this site for help and postings, and thanks again Vashal and hope the little one and family are happy and healthy.

Very Happy

Hello Flipper,

You can check out http://www.guru.com or http://www.elance.com to find professionals who can write for you.

Flipper,

No matter what the topic, I am an excellent and speedy researcher, and I can write any type of article to your specifications. Additionally, I have a great knack for taking people's scattered thoughts and general mental "meanderings" and grouping these abstract concepts into concise, meaningful literature. Please let me know if there is anything I could write for you for a flat fee, even if you are planning to sell the work. You would, of course, retain all rights to it; thus is the beauty of hiring a ghostwriter!

Thank you very much for your offer and I will certainly keep you in mind.
I'm sure somewhere down the line I could use you.

Thank you
Very Happy

Hi,

You can use the e-book as a bonus if they buy another product. Or you can give the e-book away when they subscribe to a newsletter. You could have pop up box for them to sign up for updates and as a bonus give away the e-book.

Or you can do as we do and just sell e-books as informational products. Although I must admit, most of our material today is in PDF format and on CD, however when we started we used e-books and many others are still doing so.

It really depends on what your business niche is and what you want to accomplish. However, e-books can be marvelous tools to help you reach your goals.

Good luck,

Sue
