Make money online is fun and fantastic because you can earn pocket money online without having a day job in reality, of course it has the risk if one day your blog get hacked or your blog and website doesn’t make money anymore, so we always search for new way to make money online. Christopher Lawrence who was a guest blogger on this blog and he wrote about “7 Great Ways To Supplement Adsense“, he mentioned about selling advertising space and I added an extra note about BuySellAds on that point.
I’ve been serving BuySellAds on this blog since last year and I have to say I like it because all the steps are automatic, meaning I don’t have to do anything except placing the banner code on my blog, then BuySellAds will take care of everything. Another reason is that they pay on time and never delay your payment, I request payment today and get paid tomorrow.
One of my friends threw me a question and he asked about “how to sell banner ads on BuySellAds“, so I told him about BuySellAds and how the system worked. Also, I did tell him about I make money online from BuySellAds too. If you want to sell your banner ads, then you have to do something.
4 Ways How I Sell Banner Ads On BuySellAds
1) Niche Blog – Certain Niche
First you need to have a niche blog, meaning a blog which has a specific topic. If you write about make money online, then you shouldn’t write about “How To Cook Seafood Spaghetti”, you should try to write about something related to your blog niche. I believe that BuySellAds only accepts certain niche blog, i.e. design blog, technology blog, make money online blog and etc, I tried to apply for my construction blog but they rejected it. So if you have blog from the above niche, then it’s a plus.
2) Traffic – Increasing Page Views
I know this is nothing new and everyone knows traffic is the key, you have huge traffic and you’ll earn money. BuySellAds is not showing the number of unique visitor but the estimate impression of your blog to the advertisers, so what you should do is increasing the page view on your blog. Of course I’m not asking you to keep refreshing your blog, that is not working and not the right way.
Anil Gupta wrote about how to reduce your blog bounce rate or make your blog sticky, it means that when visitors land on your blog, they won’t be leaving by just viewing a page, they will click around to view more blog post. With that said, you will gain more page views and the figure shown in BuySellAds will be huge and looked nice.
3) Place The Banner Code Above The Fold
Placing the banner code above the fold is important, it’s common sense. If you’re advertiser, you want your banner to be placed as high as possible, so when readers land to the blog, then they can view your banner without scrolling the page, it increases the click possibility. So if you want the advertiser to purchase your banner ads, try to place it as high as you can, just like what I do on this blog.
4) Good Looking Blog Theme Design
I’ve seen a few design blog, their blog doesn’t has huge number of impressions but they’re able to sell a lot of banner ads on their blog. It’s because they have really cool design on the blog, I assume advertisers love blog with great theme design, the blog would look more professional with great design. But that’s the fact, if you’re an advertiser, do you want to advertise your product on a blog with poor and lousy blog theme design?
Wrap Up
Make money online with buysellads is not complicated, what you should do is keep writing unique and useful content, then drive more traffic to your blog and you will get more sales. I don’t actually bother about my banner spot, I just place the banner code and forget about it, but of course I’ll still remember to cashout the earning. Also, I would like to thank all the sponsors who purchased banners on this blog.
What I earn from BuySellAds is just peanut, not a huge earning but I’m happy with it because money flows in without doing anything.
What do you think about BuySellAds? Did you have any good experience with BuySellAds?

@Latief,
What problem you have faced Latief? Let me know here and I’ll be happy to help. :)
I’m just curious. Is the price increase linear as the impressions increase. So if you are charging $20 per month for every 10,000 impressions, would you charge $200 per month for every 100,000 impressions? Or is it exponential?
@Christopher,
No Chris, the price range is adjustable, it depends on how much you want to charge, but it’s recommended to check what other is charging. If a blogger who has 100,000 impressions and charge $100 per month, and your blog has the same impressions but you charge $200, then the possibility for advertiser to pick your blog is definitely low. Of course, it depends on your blog theme design as well, and the strategic location that you place your banner code. You may put a low price first, then if you get advertisers, then slowly increase the price.
Let me know if you have problem with it Chris. :)
Never used Buysellads before, thanks for your insight. Those were some really great tips on how you earn money with them, will give it a try very soon. I think I may need more traffic first. :)

@Mathew Day,
Yea, what you should do is increasing the traffic and impressions first, if you have low traffic, then it’s difficult for you to sell ad spot. Let’s try later and let me your status. :)
I sure do hear a lot about BSA lately. While I never plan to sell spots on my main DE blog, I may indeed on others; this shall come in handy. Thanks. :)

@Dennis,
Selling ad spot is just one the ways to make money online, if you can make more money from other ways, then you can just keep going and forget about selling ad spot because it might not bring you the most earning. So Dennis are you doing well with affiliate program?
I’m just getting started with it, but I have some really good plans going into effect soon.
.-= Dennis Edell @ Direct Sales Marketing´s last blog ..The Official DEDC Comment Policy =-.
@Dennis,
No problem Dennis, I would appreciate if you could write a guest post on this blog to share about your experience with the plan when you successfully handling it and getting what you want in some days later. Good luck Dennis!
Absolutely. In fact, if you could shoot me an email on that for me to save, I’d appreciate it.

Lee, my cancer blog is not accepted by BSA as they seldom accept such niche for their service. Do you have any suggestion for me except for BSA? Thanks Lee! :)
.-= Kok Siong @ Cancer Research´s last blog ..Tamoxifen – Breast Cancer Treatment =-.
@Kok Siong,
I’ve seen some of the bloggers use http://www.advertisespace.com/, perhaps you can try to register this. It’s something like BuySellAds but I’m not sure whether they accept Cancer blog or not, just try and let me know Kok Siong. :)
Hi Lee,
Another easy way to make some money on a great blog like this one is to have a “buy me a beer” or “buy me coffee” donate button on your sidebar. It may not made you lots of money but certainly it can buy you some peanuts now and then – lol.
Genuine giving without asking for a return makes your blog stickly.
@wilson,
I’ve never tried to put a “buy me a beer” or “buy me coffee” donate button on my blog to make money, I believe that with this way you might need to have a really popular and influent authority blog, therefore people might donate to show their appreciation to your blog. Perhaps not at my stage now. ;)
Hi guys,
Can I have you Peanuts? LOL!!! I never used buysellads. But it looks like your doing great with it. I just might have to check it out. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards,
Sam

@Samantha,
Haha of course you can have my peanuts, but it’s really very little only. lol! You might want to try it out to see how it works for your blog, perhaps you can make more peanuts than me, who knows right? ;)
Plan to use BSA but they take 25% of each ad sale. I wish to take 100%. :P
.-= Jayce´s last blog ..Download TTPlayer 千千静听 latest version 5.6.3 =-.
@Jayce,
Haha too greedy Jayce. But it’s fair to BuySellAds since they bring you advertiser, 25% is not a big percentage, so just let it go and you may get more advertisers and get more sales. :)
Your advertisers came from BSA? Or buy ads from your site using BSA service?
.-= Jayce´s last blog ..Download Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 Cab for Windows Mobile =-.
@Jayce,
I’m not sure Jayce, either they click the banner from my blog to buy the spot, or they come from BSA marketplace. I believe that all the advertisers come from BSA marketplace. You may try Jayce.
Thanks for the explanation. Will try it. Going to find spot to put it. But hard as my blog already full of ads. Maybe remove some unperformed ads. :P
.-= Jayce´s last blog ..The greatest Co0kie’s Home Tab v1.7.1 and CHTEditor v1.7.1 so far =-.
@Jayce,
Yea you may try to register your blog JayceOoi.com with BuySellAds to see whether they accept it, you may be able to get more sales with good price since you have huge traffic on the blog.
