Pardon this bit of self-promotion, but just like any other business venture, we need to generate revenue to consistently post SurvivalBlog with daily updates. (We’ve only missed posting a few days since our launch in August of 2005.) Most of our revenue comes from advertising and The 10 Cent Challenge.
You’ve probably noticed that we’ve revamped our advertising on SurvivalBlog. In addition to traditional banner ads in the right hand column, we now offer text ads (text between articles) for just $100 per month. Those who choose to run the traditional banner ads with us also get access to the text ads at no additional cost.
Improved SurvivalBlog Advertising
Hugh (our Managing Editor) implemented a very clever automated system that allows all of our advertisers to remotely change their ads as often as they’d like.
Since our new text ads are so affordable, this opens up advertising opportunities for many small ventures that previously could not afford to advertise on SurvivalBlog. These could include:
- Home-based Internet and mailorder businesses
- Real estate agents and brokers throughout the US and Canada
- Promotion for guns shows, preparedness expos, and fiber crafts shows
- Small gun training schools and mobile trainers
- Gun shops and gunsmiths that do some mailorder business
- Coin shops and bullion dealers that do some mailorder sales
- Businesses that do storefront sales inside The American Redoubt
- Other blogs and prepper-oriented hard copy magazines
