The advertising question

November 20, 2008 by Jim Connolly

I’ve had quite a few people asking me recently, why there’s no advertising on jimsmarketingblog.com.  So, I thought I would let you know.

The short answer is that this blog is NOT here to sell advertising!

Some commercial blogs start off with the sole intention of selling advertising – which is great.  However, the primary focus of this blog is very different!

I decided to simply build this blog as a way for me to connect / network with great people (like you); who share my interest in marketing, networking and business development.  The community here is extremely important to me, which is why I work so hard to get readers ‘involved’ in the blog – with your comments, suggestions, ‘tweets’ and emails.

As you can see from the amazing number of comments this blog already attracts, (after just 11 weeks of marketing) – the community is both growing and very active!

So, what IS the “business model” then?

I want to show you the effectiveness of my work; through the marketing ideas I share with you and the obvious success of this blog itself. Then, if you decide you want to achieve massively better sales/profits or simply develop an amazingly successful blog, you might decide to give me a call or drop me an email.

That’s it!

Of course, as a result of the growing number of people now visiting and commenting here, companies have started asking me if I will advertise their products or services.  This blog’s community is very targeted; primarily people who own a business, are self employed or are ‘decision makers’ in larger companies.  Our community here is what advertisers dream about.

I will happily offer advertising on the blog, but only if it’s a product or service that I use or have researched and believe to be massively valuable to you.  Nothing offered thus far fits into either category – hense no ads.

Grow your business with my Marketing Mentor Program! I can help you build a more successful business, increase your sales, boost your profits AND enjoy the process. Here's how it works.
