Hello everyone! I am in the process of setting up a site, and for the first time I am thinking about making some money from it, via offering ads.

And I was wondering if anyone had any tips for gathering and interesting advertisers while the site is still in the development stages.

I am keen to get one or two for a number of reasons:
1)to give the site a more completed feel/look upon launch
2)to generate some money to fund my own advertising

If it helps, the site is related to music CD's (not sales).

Thanks for your input, it's much appreciated

Kev

Hi Kev,

my tip is, conatct potential advertisers and offer them half price advertising. Getting people to commit to a website before it launches is tricky, i know as i'm going through the same for my website. I've found that if you offer them as much as possible all of which you wouldn't normally do for people after your website launches that sometimes drums up a bit of interest. The first few people to sign up are some of the most important so give them the world if you can

One trick I have done before is by going to the competitor, and look for ads that he may have. Many times they have google ads on them. I click on them, and then contact the advertiser. You know he is already advertising on the web. Offer them better prices than google.
