Easy ways to get advertising

1. Promote an affiliate product on your site

 Affiliate links are not technically ads but allow you to make money by promoting someone else's product. Different affiliate programs offer different payout options. You will earn commission every time you refer someone to a product. Some might offer 10 percent commission for each sale, while others pay up to 50 percent of each sale.

 2. Use targeted advertising with Google AdSense

 Google Adsense reflect the content of the website. For example if your looking on a football website, the advert might offer a link to a football or sports retailer that may interest you. It is a free website to join and Google does all the work for you and all you have to do is collect payments. Ads should be tested on the website to make sure they work and so you don't loose credibility.

 3. Approach companies directly to ask if you can advertise for them

 If you already have a lot of traffic on your websites make sure that the adverts are relatable to your website and your target audience. The more successful the ads are the more you can charge for them. 

 4. Sign up for a blog-specific ad program

 This will run texts through the database and if they know the target audience, his will consider the type of ads the consumers visiting the website will find valuable. Amazon associates and feature ads for products that people personally use or endorse. You can get advertisers interested in your blog with a link they can use to contact you for rates and requirements. This link will say "Click here to find out how to advertise on this blog" That way, anyone visiting your site is free to discuss advertising opportunities with you.

 How important is pre-production to:
a) advertising a product?
b) understanding a target audience?

 Pre-production is important in trying to get advertisers to buy into the product that is being created because you cannot advertise a product without pre-production so during this stage you need to find out who your target audience is and research into websites that best suit that target audience and research into advertisers will need to be conducted. 

 It is important for pre-production to understand a target audience so they know who they are and what they are interested in. This will help advertise when they visit a website so we can advertise to their needs and what they will find valuable. For example, if they were to visit a film critique website and there may be a piece about a film they haven't seen, there will be adverts that link to a trailer of that film so the audience can watch it and make their on judgement based on the trailer.

Sample assessment

1 (a) Identify two costs that Ian needs to consider when developing the 247Me app and explain how these costs impact on the project. One cost is hiring staff  because wages are a big expenditure of most businesses so having staff means more cost of wages and the more staff that are hired to help develop the app the more wages that need to be paid. Another cost is paying the local market research company to do the research for them. Although Ian will save time, he's adding to his costs by getting a company that will need to be paid to do the market research for him. (b) Identify one type of project management tool that Ian could use to keep track of the project tasks and explain why it is suitable for this task. One type of project management tool Ian could use to keep track of the project tasks is an Excel spreadsheet because it is a good way to keep track of calculations and money coming in and out of the business. It is suitable for this task because they have limited fun

Technological Convergence

Technological Convergence When different types of technology meet to produce one converged product that can do everything. For example; a smartphone phone is used for calling, listening, using the internet, taking pictures and timing etc... Convergence technologies allows for a number of different types of products to come together to make one individual advanced product. For example a smart phone. Although from our grandparents point of view they would've had to purchase each individual product because they wouldn't have converged together to form one product yet. For example, technology of my grandparents era would have consisted of records or cassettes to listen to their favourite music and if they were lucky to have a TV they would have to watch a programme at a specific time as their was no recording unless they had a VHS. Nowadays, we can do all of these things on one smart phone as it allows us to catch up on TV by downloading applications, listen to music, film a
