Advertise



 

Why advertise here?

Change you thoughts has a loyal following of readers who visit regularly and trust the recommendations of myself, which is the key factor. I will not advertise anything I have not bought myself and liked it. I take my readers trust seriously and will not do anything to jeopardize this.

Advertise in email newsletter

Email is perhaps the best way to advertise your product.  There are of course different types of advertising in emails:
  • Banner ads
  • Solo e-mails

Banner Ads

In each edition of the newsletter, which goes out every time a new blog post is published, you can place a banner ads at the left side of the newsletter or at the bottom of the newsletter.

Each newsletter is opened by around 15% of recipients (around 2000 readers, from a total of 14,000 e-mail subscribers) so your banner will be seen 1,500 times each time the newsletter is produced.

How to buy an email newsletter banner ad:

Simply choose which banner you would like and click on the subscribe paypal link below.  You can pay on a monthly basis or a yearly basis.  If you choose the yearly basis you will get two months free advertising.

If the ads have already been taken I will refund your money immediately.

Solo ad e-Mails

A solo email is an email sent out by me to my list advertising your product.  The best way to do this is to write your email as if I am writing it to my list and put 3 links to your product, one in the first paragraph, one in the middle and one at the end.

I will not send anything out if it is not personal development related so no ‘Make money now.’ offers will be accepted.

I will guarantee you 1000 clicks from my list, if I don’t get 1000 on the first email I will send out another one until 1000 readers have clicked on your link.

Tracking your solo ad

You can do this one of two ways:

I will send you a screen shot from my aweber account as soon as 1000 clicks have been reached.

Sign up for something like BudURL which is a great click tracking service for a low cost.
