Where do you see marketing being ten years from now?

Hey Danna,

If you give me a question for advertisers I may use them during the advertiser panel that I will be moderating at IzeaFest. Asking a question here in the comments gets you a entry to win a ticket to the IzeaFest conference.

These advertisers run opportunities in SocialSpark and PayPerPost. That is the network. You can sign up at either of those as a blogger and you will see advertisers posting opportunities / offers for you to consider covering in many different ways from your blog.

Hope that clears things up more.

Hello Brett,

Thanks for the reply but I am confused.
Where can we find the posts that the advertisers are posting into this “network”? I think I missed something.

I greatly appreciate your time!

When considering a publisher, are you more interested in the frequency and quality of their blog or the content being related to your product?

Sure hope I win a ticket to IzeaFEST! I just spent the last of the prizes I won in 2008. It was a $50 gift card for Crate & Barrel and I got 2 nice Rachel Ray pots!

Thanks for offering us this chance to win Brett.

Good question Danna, keep in mind that these advertisers all work within a network that brings bloggers and advertisers together already. Usually they (advertisers) post something first into the marketplace and bloggers respond if interested.

When marketing a new product, what is your first step in social media marketing?

By: Danna Crawford

Danna Crawford — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:27:26 +0000

I have several blogs that have different types of niches.
What do you think would be the best way for me to approach advertisers?
Example, on my chocolate blog or my wholesale blog, should I email them, call them or I was thinking of sending them a postcard with a promotional campaign on it.

Thanks for your time and please give me an entry into the contest!

Oh, and I realize I asked two questions and it only counts as one entry. I just thought the two questions went together. Alli’s last blog post..Getting crafty: baking and sewing

Hi Brett! Glad you are having this contest. Winning would be the only way I can go! My questions are: When an advertiser is looking over a potential space (blog/ website) to advertise, what are elements they immediately look for? When reading the "about" section, what are the main points the advertiser wants to see? Alli’s last blog post..Getting crafty: baking and sewing

Just heard the opinion from an "expert" that because platforms come and go (think Twitter, Facebook) THE most important thing in social media is to have one solid base--such as a website--that remains in place. Cyn McCrackan’s last blog post..The Thrill of The Manta

Hey Catherine,
Do you mean that people think your articles when sent via email subscription look spammy??? or something else?

If yes, how does this relate to advertisers? (not saying it doesn’t just trying to understand your question better. )

I would love to know is how to make my email updates less "spammy." I have over 500 people who have signed up for updates. I have provided them links to articles on my website yet one person said my emails appear spammy in that kind of format. Catherine Copeland’s last blog post..Free Movie Rental At Hollywood Video

Hey Robert, I thought I mentioned this a couple weeks back after the last SEO meetup. I meant to, thought I did, but we don’t always have enough time to talk at those meetups sometimes.
