Give me your sales pitch
Internet marketing, E commerce, and blogging for money is all about sales. If you can make a dime off it, you’re probably trying to sell something. I blog about making money online. So, naturally, i sell the idea of making money online.
Specifically, i sell ad space. I sell private ads. I sell posts. I sell sidebar space. I sell the programs that may or may not help other noobs make money online. And to be honest with you…most of them don’t.
I run a humble blog, but it has in fact made me some nice pocket change. I can buy myself a nice overpriced cup of coffee whenever i feel like it. To make more money, i need the help of my noob readers. If it wasn’t your clicks, i would have to make my own damn coffee. My blog may be small, but it’s got heart. And the noob, knows how to show his appreciation. So, i’ve decided to give back to my little blogging community.
I do a lot of these “give back” type posts on my blog. I give out random prizes. I’ve even bought ads from my readers. I will do something a little different this time.
I want you guys to practice your sales pitch. Pitch to me. Make me buy an ad on your blog. Write about why i, or anyone else should advertise on your blog. I will select 3 winners. The three best entries will get 10 bucks via paypal and a review on my blog. I know the prize ain’t much, but hey…it’s something. And it’ll be fun.
How to enter.
Write a blog post. In that blog post, pitch to your readers about the ad space you want to sell. Link to this post in your post. Mention this contest. Leave me a comment and you’re entered.
1. Write a pitch post.
2. Link to this post.
4. Mention this pitch promotion(contest)
3. Leave a comment.
I’ll select the winners after 20 or more people enter.
It sucks to not get anything for writing a post. I recognize this, so i will give everyone who enter a dollar for their post. Again, it ain’t much, but it’s more then what other people offer. Try it out. If you don’t win, you’ll at least get a dollar. You can buy 2 apple pies at Mickey D’s.
To filter out the people who are doing this just to get a dollar from me, i’ll put a requirement. You’re post must have an image and have a min of 200 words. Sounds fair right?
