As I think I've previously mentioned I've been getting a few ads direct for my various celebrity blogs. This is great as all of the cash is mine and there's no sharing with a third party.I've set up a separate pages, well other blogs really, with the ad rates. This way I don't have so many emails to answer.
The prospective advertiser only has to send his/her advert details and I then give him/her my PayPal info. Once the PayPal money is confirmed I publish the ad.
Here's an example for my Celebrity Insider.
This really all follows on from my post Making Money On Blogs With Your Own Products. There's a lot we can do for ourselves. Instead of the likes of PayPerPost etc, why not solicit our own reviews or sponsorship?
Or maybe write a sort of advertorial as a post about something that we are promoting or want to promote. All of the clicks and profit are then ours.
Occasionally it's necessary to maybe stand back and think: How could I do things a little differently to make (more) money?
The well trodden path works okay. It's familiar and gets us from A to B. Sometimes, however, we might get from A to Z with a different route and have a whole new more profitable experience.
Good luck,
Mike.
