Online advertisers are a great way to generate additional revenue from your site. Advertisers love to place their banner ads and links on other websites where their prospective customers are also browsing. They look for several main things when deciding where to advertise and how much to spend/invest:
1) The amount of traffic a website receives
2) The niche of the website (such as technology, interior design, etc)
3) The professional look and feel of a website
If all the three items listed above meet the advertiser’s requirements, you can charge top-dollar for banner advertisements on your site. Even if your site does not get a lot of traffic, but is attracting the right audience, advertisers will still pay a nominal amount to get their banners on your site. When you are first starting out, these are the type of advertisers you’ll most likely attract.
Here’s a simple, yet effective email template that you can send to potential advertisers. Good luck!
