Online advertising is one of the most cost-effective means of promoting a business. It is an electronic signpost on your website offering direct access to an advertising website.

Selling advertising and earning big money can take quite some time, depending on your website ranking as well as other factors.

The following tips will guide through your online sales venture.

1. Show them what they are buying
One of the most powerful strategies used in early days of selling advertising space is to show how your website ranked in Google for their keywords. Compile a list of keywords that you rank for that you can pull out next time you’re talking to an advertiser. If when people search the web for information on products that they sell they end up on your website, then you have a key selling point.

2. Traffic is a Powerful Motivator
There is no getting around it – advertising look at the traffic generated through your website. Keep working to generate more traffic and be ready to share your stats and back them up with graphs and charts.

3. Start with Small Advertisers
Approaching small businesses to advertise on your website at reasonable rates works quite fast. In time, however, traffic will grow bigger, and bigger campaigns will start to appear. Having advertisers already onboard will help convince the big guys.

4. Put together an Advertiser Pack
Compile your stats, rates, advertising options (i.e. what you offer) reader demographics and any other relevant figures into a professional looking document that you can email to interested advertisers. Include your contact details and references from other advertisers if you can get them.

5. Key Influencers
Do other bloggers read your blog and pick up on what you write? If so, sell this too. You’ve got influential readers - not just passive ones!
