So I looked around at other sources. Most caused pop-ups or the "Congratulations! Click here and win an iPad (and a ton of viruses)" messages.
So I finally gave up and said "Fuck it. I'm doing my own thing."
And so far, I like being my own boss.
I'm sure you've seen the 'advertise here' buttons placed strategically around my blog. You may have been so bold as to look at my advertising page. Well, I'm happy to report that these are slowly but surely getting filled. Hopefully I'll be adding some testimonials soon from happy customers (hint hint...).
I currently have 2 bloggers advertising on my site:
The first is Zombies Everywhere, an awesome site dedicated to the undead. Here you can learn fun zombie facts, what to do if found in a gaggle of zombies, and what you need to do to prepare yourself for Z-Day (which is coming soon, you better go there and read up...).
The next blogger is a slight contrast from Z.E. It is Beyond the Borderline Personality, a blog which discusses Borderline Personality Disorder, Passive-Aggressive behaviors, and, well, a lot. Reading about the anxiety of getting a tattoo done coupled with the pride and confidence when the initial sitting was done is absolutely amazing. This wordsmith paints pictures in your mind that will leave you breathless.
And since I follow both blogs, it's that extra little stamp of awesomeness.
Now, I can't guarantee results. Z has been running an ad for nearly 2 weeks, so hopefully he has some kind words to share (dude, that's your cue). Those in the blogging world know, however, that the key to growing your blog is marketing your site in as many ways as possible.
And that's exactly what I want to help you do. Market yourself to an audience that you can tap. I'm currently at 650 followers, 400-600 pageviews a day (depending on the post) and I've amassed about 5100 comments in only 5 1/2 months. The interaction on this site is bumpin.

Scan it. You know you want to. |
As always with marketing, the more you stand out, the more you're going to attract people.
And if you don't have a creative bone in your body, fret not. I can help you design an ad (for a fee, of course), re-size graphics, or customize space to fit your needs.
After all... when whoring yourself out, the flexible whores tend to get more customers....
