Staffing considerations

  • New Revenue doesn’t always mean new staff
  • Might need to train staff to be more efficient to be able to take on new revenue projects
  • What is needed and what is desired from staff?

Example #1 Re-thinking social media sales

  • Make sure the Facebook page is a business page and not a personal page
  • Label commercial mentions as ‘Sponsored’
  • Use Youtube to drive commercial mentions
  • Charge between 100-125 per thousand, base off of Facebook friends/likes

Example #2 eNewsletter Revenue

  • Reverse Selling = starts with the advertiser first, sell audience to advertiser and become a partnership
  • Premier products
  • Giveaways
  • Clarity with social media interactions
  • Need based selling

Example #3 Pop goes the Ad!

  • Interstitial AD = interruptive Ad
  • Make sure the skip option is visible
  • Add the company’s name
  • Only use these kinds of ads in 12 to 24 hour increments

Example #4: User Interaction to Drive $$$!

  • Charge advertiser based off of traffic going to a certain part of a website
  • Track traffic with google analytics
  • Look back over course of last year, look at the areas of the year that the traffic was high and base prices off of the traffic
  • Banner ads vs sponsorship model

Example #5: Contextual Advertising

  •  Use articles on website, sell advertiser on the fact that the text of the article is relative to their company and they should be apart of the page.
  • Next step is anytime that the relevant idea is mentioned on the website the advertisers ad will appear

 Example #6: Videotorial
