Want to work with Brands & Advertisers?

Published: Thu, 04/19/12

Last week I mentioned SocialSpark, which is one of the companies I work with to get blogging opportunities with Advertisers and Brands. I just shared more information on that, along with other similar networks to check out:

SocialSpark also has an Ad Network you can use on your blog, which actually helps you get more sponsorship opportunities. You can get details at the link above.

I didn't mention this in the post, but I shared a tip on Facebook the other day about working with Brands and Sponsors through these networks:

"When a certain offer is converting really well for you through a network, go straight to the merchant and request opportunities to work with them long-term."

I just did this last week myself. In that case it was a CPA Network (Escalate, which I also mentioned in the post above). I was promoting an offer that was converting at over 50% and that my readers *loved*. So I contacted the merchant directly.

And guess what? They DO want to work with me when the campaign ends through the network! :-)

It's those little things that can really give you an edge...

Be sure to check out the post, which includes a fun little disclosure:

I look forward to hearing your thoughts. It's been working out *really* well for me over the last year!

Best,

p.s. In last week's email I also mentioned the Ultimate Heatmap: http://www.clicknewz.com/3291/heat-map-and-color-psychology/ If you haven't seen it already, I highly recommend you read Michael Campbell's comment on that post. Brilliant stuff!!
