[$50/week] 1/3 signature ad spaces + avatar available (Avg. 30+ posts per week)

[BenCodie]

Hello. I am offering an expression of interest for hiring one third of my signature for $50 per week. An example of these advertisements can be seen in my signature (which are currently non-sponsored and are free ads for example purposes only, free advertising for some campaigns running right now).

I have made an average of 30 posts per week for the last 6 months, without a week missed. I have been a valuable member of two signature campaigns and am currently looking to try something a little different. I have also considered breaking this down into logo-sized spaces (5-10 spaces) for a much lower price ($10-20 per week) however I will have to see what advertisers prefer, if they accept this solution to begin with. For now I've decided to stick with 3 decently sized adverts.

Right now the BBCode in the ad spaces could be improved, it works fine for example purposes for the time being though. If there is interest to hire a portion of my signature space, I will work harder to improve the BBCode to work for multiple ads.

Terms:
- Payments are prepaid either directly upfront or held with an escrow/campaign manager[/b]
- A minimum of 20 high quality posts will be made per week from my part ($2.5 per post) - I usually make much more than this per week (30 average for the last 6 months) because I am genuinely interested in discussion on the forum, however I can guarantee 20. At 30 posts, the pay rate is less than $2 per post. On some weeks, I have made over 50 posts, so in these weeks you get good value Proof of high quality posts, 247 merit in past 120 days.
- All ad spaces must be taken and prepaid before the campaign can begin.
- You can take more than one ad space/width of 2 or more spaces for 2x-3x the pay rate (e.g 2 spaces/space width = $5 per post, 3 spaces/space width = $7.5 per post)
- Price can of course be negotiated for 2+ spaces, depending on terms.
- Avatar is also available for a separate price (up for offer).

I will update terms when I have some more time/if there is interest. For now this is somewhat of an experiment, as I have never seen anyone come up with a solution like this before

Expression of interest only as I am still considering whether to pursue this or to just join a campaign normally

I hope to at least inspire a new idea with this post!

List of things to refine with current bbcode:
- View on mobile or low-width windows (sometimes looks fine, sometimes now)
- A BBcode version of 3 strip-ads (horizontal) rather than 3 rectangular ads, it might look cleaner
- Getting sizes/width equal on the current layout
- Probably a lot more. This is a rough idea, and just an expression of interest for the time being.

I don't quite understand what this is about. In your example signature, you are currently advertising two competing mixers.

I can't imagine that such an advertisement is attractive for a service if the competition appears only a few pixels next to your own advertisement.

I might be wrong, but I doubt there will be much interest in your idea.

Anyway good luck, maybe you find someone.

I have never thought of something new like this, hence I have to commend your creativity. The space of the signature advert is even too small to advertise one service. Most time we see the signatures not revealing the full names, logos, and mottos of these companies. Having two or more firms advertising in that small space will make it ambiguous and complicated.

I also think that you should have started a thread on your idea before launching the service. Launching the service with terms of payment might be a distraction from getting genuine responses from the community.

I feel he is using these two competing services as a sample of the service he intends to offer. It will be a big mistake to advertise substitute services. It should be maybe gambling and mixing or exchange and gambling.

All the best mate.

It's a pilot scheme, so to say, and OP is only using those samples to pass his message across. However, projects trying to rent OP's logo space will know how best to go about setting it up. There are always rules and regulations governing every campaign and I don't see how what OP is proposing won't have its own rules too. While I see this as a paradigm shift and believe some campaigns should give it a try, I'm worried that it's likely going to be very hard for OP to get patronage seeing that they aren't a household name here. There are users here projects will be willing to experiment that sort of thing with but I ain't sure OP has such weight and visibility to pull.

- All ad spaces must be taken and prepaid before the campaign can begin.

This is why I think it’s much better to stick to having and advertising one company at a time.
If there’s a company willing to pay for a slot in your signature, do you think it’s fair to make that company wait till heaven knows when/if all your slots would be taken?
Supposing all 3 slots are finally taken, what then would happen if one or two companies decides to do away with you after a week, the campaign would then be paused leaving the third company hanging.

You are right. This can create some problems for the OP. Even I don't think companies will be agreed to buy one space only. Because sometimes companies can not fully highlight them due to limited characters in BBcode design. That means 1/3 space you can not highlight everything about your companies.

Another problem could happen with Mobile devices. Of course, if the design is too long in width, this will not show well on mobile devices. Again if OP doesn't have a good idea about BBCode design he can face some issues.

You have a real alternative, perhaps not with many requests or employers (clients), but there is a "client" that has three consolidated casinos in the forum, there is another that is related to 2, I am not naming them because that should be their job or expose it that way.

In fact, for some casinos that promotion in G$R(*) it could be useful, when they carry out various promotions.

Another would be, promote the Pools, etc. I think there is a market for your idea, but it would be with the same sponsor, in any case, you should have or should prepare your OP better.

I think you have something, mature your idea and keep trying.


*you have to be careful with the forum rules, check them.

OP, you have a good idea but I think this idea would only be feasible with organization that has to market their various products visibly to the audience. This advertisement would go in three partition for them if they want it so.  

For instance,  I was doing a check on boards when I came across a particular organization promoting s second phase of their product here and it was entirely a different thing from their initial altogether. Not only that I saw another too promoting another phase of their product. The first I saw on gambling board while the second I saw on Service board but I would not mention their various names here.

I think these are the types of promotinal campaign and advertisement needed for your services OP. If you mean different organizations entirely coming together to rent the signature space on thread with different partition, i think it would not go down well as each organization is an entity on their own and would love to promote their product on a single platform without anybody sharing the same space with them.

I think you have a good point to reckon with OP.

I will respond to everyone's posts in the next few days. In the meantime, I have come up with some fantastic new thoughts surrounding this idea which I am looking forward to discussing with advertisers, managers and the community in the Meta board. I think I am onto something innovative that could be a positive game-changer for both advertisers, managers and participants, but we'll see for sure when the idea is fleshed out an discussed in Meta.

For now, I will leave this thread open and respond to everyone who replies in the meantime, and compile the posts/replies into the Meta thread when it is posted.

I still welcome campaign managers and advertisers to post/PM me offers, feedback or expressions of interest in the meantime!

[Husires]

We switched from renting signature spaces to renting parts of signature.
You can think that it is a good idea, but its long-term effect is not good. It can be considered suitable for someone who wants to promote personal projects or ideas, and it will most likely not be paid.
The only person who preceded you with this idea is @mprep, but as I mentioned above, he promotes projects that he deems appropriate, not the highest payment.

You are currently try to promote three projects, and you chose $50, meaning that you want $150 per week. Develop your skills and you will get it from one campaign, but I am afraid that such ideas will end up with you in the ignore list of many members.

Edit thanks @rby

This is not something new I have seen this on other forums by affiliate marketers they maximize the use of their signature by creating innovative texts to attract clicks and leads they use formats like this instead of banners because of the limitation of space and text-based ads offer curiosity for viewers but you cannot do this if advertisers want to brand their platform they will want the full signature space, and advertisers will ask you to place tracking links to see how your ads convert to leads.

This is a sample of the text format

Your Ads Here $50 Per Line Up To 30 posts a week

Your Ads Here $50 Per Line Up To 30 posts a week

Your Ads Here $50 Per Line Up To 30 posts a week

Signature ads are for branding first and lead generation follows

It seems you didn't read the OP. He isn't promoting any projects yet. His signature space was used for a sample of what it will look like accepting his services.
Besides, if his idea will be effective at the backend based on results. It will be a nice idea promoting only two non related projects. (Maybe Casino and mixer).
Where the problem may lie is that a gambling project would want him to make majority of his posts in the gambling boards which might not favour a mixer.

[coin-investor]

Is this the first time that you've done this, why offer this why not opt for a full signature space and just go for a higher rate like all the other independent signature promoter.
But if you think that you are a prominent member of this forum and you can deliver leads and visibility then why not try it, who knows this could be the next innovation in the signature campaign, we never know until you try.
It will depend on your status here in Bitcointalk, brands want to be associated with the reputation of the users.

[Broadanbig]

When I first saw this thread, I was wondering if this could ever be possible but as time went on I had to do research on advertising and marketing to visualize the effect of this idea and I found it ok dto deal with but I have a question to ask OP,
How possible do you think two or three different organizations will come together to rent signature space together with two to three signatures on one same space. Naturally, these organizations are rivals and would not want anybody to share same advertisement space with them so tell us how you would convince them to stay together.

[rat03gopoh]

Ridiculously, I actually tried to implement this campaign a few months ago for some non-profit projects using my own sig. designs. It looks like this,

Unfortunately I don't also use an address shortener to track how many clicks were achieved. Personally, I find it more difficult to create 3 mini signature codes in one line if the customer also asks to enter some offer content. Space limitations have recently been talked about because they crop up on some device screens. However all customers will demand the perfect look.

There is competition in signature advertising right now between Mixers and casinos and the size of the space ad really matters, advertisers want total focus on their banner which is why projects go to the extent of launching a signature design contest, I don't think with a limited space their brand will stand out if you are charging $5 per posts if they see someone offering a full space with the same price and both of you have the same status in the forum, you will be left out.

The competition is real mate and none of the projects wants to be left behind every one of them wants something unique, catchy and eye popping hence the competition for who conquers the space. From what i see, no one of them would like to share same space with the other because there seems to be rivalry amongst them which is a big challenge for anyone thinking of going further in such package.

Just as you have said, the space would be limited and possibly not contain the signature as a whole and that would cause a little much discrepancies in the signature outlook which would not go down well with the organisations and no body would be willing to pay for such when they have a free space cheaper or at the same price and free for them to own a space.
