One of the primary ways to make money from blogging is through sponsored posts. When executed precisely, sponsored posts can be a great route and a steady stream of income. But what if we tell you that there is a strategy that will enable you to charge even higher sponsored post fees… and that this strategy can be very useful not only for the seasoned bloggers but as well as to new bloggers out there…
On today’s 75th podcast episode, we discuss how implementing Facebook Ads can effectively increase your blog’s revenue to charge higher fees for sponsored posts. Also, we added an entire training into one of our courses where we go through and show the Facebook campaign that we talk about on this podcast. So, if you want to hear more and learn how to do all these then hit that play button!
“Where this all came from, I was working with the bank and they wanted me to promote local branches and they wanted me to send an email out to my list… They wanted one tweet, one Facebook post, an email blast and a sponsored post that listed literally the locations of this bank. And so I was like, “Okay, I can do all of that BUT what if we just did Facebook Ads too on top of all that with a 10-mile radius to the actual locations so we can get more relevant impressions?,” and they were like, “That’s a good idea and we didn’t think about that,”. With that value-add, I got really excited about that and I was able to quote $5k and feel comfortable about it and they jumped on it immediately. And not only that they jumped on it, they wanted to do a second campaign on top of that because the results I provided were really good. So that was the strategy. Instead of just posting something on the blog or sending out something to my email list, how can I target the people they actually want to see this stuff? How can I actually get the right demographic? AND the answer is Facebook Ads.” – Bobby Hoyt
