2. Contact Them

Yes, I really mean it when I mean you should contact them. But before you do that, make sure you have built your blog’s authority and reputation in your niche to a reasonable standard. You can then go in search of advertiser, contact them and let them know you are offering advert spaces on your blog. There is a probability that 1 in every 15 persons would end up advertising their product on your blog.

3. Start With Any Advertiser

If you have not ever gotten anyone to advertise on your website, then you should start considering starting with any advertiser. The truth is, nobody advertiser would love to be the first to advertise on your blog, so you have to display an advert on your website even at a cheaper rate in order to prove to them that people already trust and do business with you. This really goes a long way in attracting advertisers to your website.

4. Give Incentives

There are a thousand blogs and website out there who might even rank better than yours offering advertising spaces at even cheaper rates than you, so why should your website be considered a place to advertise? Offer not just advertising space for that same amount, you can add a benefit your client would gain for advertising with you. This can include a sponsored review for free, a regular exposure to your social media followers and so on. Think of something outside the box and offer it alongside that same price, it would give people the reason to contact your for adverts.

5. Create An Advertise With Us Page

People visiting your website might not seem to notice that you accept adverts if you do not create a page that makes it obvious to them. Take out time to create an advertise with us page where you state the nature of adverts you accept. Also, display relevant metrics of your blog on this page such as your Alexa Rank, Page Rank and others on this page. This makes it easier for your potential clients to make up their minds on what plan they would go for before contacting you, make sure your additional incentives are made known on your advertise with us page.
