One of the joys of every blogger is to make money consistently from his/her publishing efforts. This is one of the things NG Adverts was designed to do; to create and maintain a profitable ecosystem for both Advertisers and Publishers.

In our quest to stay true to our goals, we have added Native Ads to our array of advertising options which is known to have higher earning potential and CTR compared to display banner ads. In this post, I will show how you can setup and start displaying Native Ads on your blog.

...so here we go.

I will want to assume you have already registered your account on NG Adverts and have had your site approved. If you haven't yet, Sign Up to get started.



Moving forward, here's what to do next.

1. Create Your Ad Code
To do this, go to Publisher > Ad Codes > Create

https://www.ngadverts.com/images/create-adcode2.jpg

From the Ad Display option, select Native from the drop (this step is very important; don't miss it.)

After that, fill in other fields/select the options as you desire as shown in the screenshot below.

Header Text: You can change the text to what you want to display.

Targeting Site: Select the site you want to display the Native Ads on; only approved sites will display in the list.

Ad Type: Select the Text+Image option (recommended)

Select Ad Layout: Choose the layout you want depending on the size of the space where the native ads will be displayed.

Ad Image Dimension: Choose any image dimension of your choice; however, we recommend the 300x170

Custom CSS and JS: You can insert your own CSS and JS code to make your ads blend better with your site if they don't already. (Note: Use this option only if you know what you are doing)

Make Ad Responsive: Select this option to make ads fit well into your site anytime visitors view it either via desktop or on mobile.



After clicking on the Create Ad Code button, your unique code will be generated which you can now paste on your blog's html area where you want the native ads to display.

Native ads:

1. Will help your site's SEO by reducing your bounce rate

2. Is not intrusive compared to display banner ads as it just blends with your site's content

3. Will increase your ads Click Through Rate (CTR) and

4. Will ultimately make you more advertising money.

As a recommendation, I advice that you use a mix of display banner ads plus native ads and see what works best for your site.

Chairman, if you want to do business and get new clients, you don't have to put down other Digital Marketers to make you look as the only professional in Wakanda.

Since you have already put yourself on the spotlight, it might interest you to know that your site is not ranking #1; it's not even on the first page of Google for the keywords "Best Agency in Abuja"

You obviously still have work to do.

We are open to partnerships; though we are not Lagos based.
You can reach us via the link in our signature below.

In one of our recent seminars, we talked about the difference between Advertising amd Marketing; as much as these look similar, they are not the same.

Advertising is a subset of Marketing.

Marketing deals with all the strategies you use to reach out to your customers and maintaining your relationship with them.
So, from how your customer service personnel answers the phone to your branding to your different strategies on how to reach your prospects via the many channels available (Advertising), you are simply dealing with your Marketing strategy.

I hope I was able to break this down well enough.

The first place to start from should be Google. Search for Social Media courses and you will get tons of results.

You can also check on training platforms like Udemy and take any of the Social Media courses there.

Goodluck in your endeavour!

Some things go better together.

Bread and akara is a classic example.

Beans and Plantain another great example.

Banana and Groundnut is definitely another good example of a great partnership.

Show me a woman selling banana and I will point out another who’s nearby selling groundnuts.



What does this have to do with your brand in 2018?

Find out what goes naturally with your products or services and try to include them in your marketing mix.



A local art dealer should partner with a furniture house.

A fumigation company should partner with a popular garden/park.

Event centres should partner with event planners.

Hotels should partner with airport taxis, travel agencies and corporate training organizations.

A modeling agency should partner with boutiques and photographers.

Suya and beer goes well together. It will be foolish to think otherwise.

Boutiques and makeup should partner with Instagram Slay Queens as well as photography studios.

Keto diets and smoothie makers should partner with gym instructors. As their clients have similar objectives but products have different functions.

Wedding photographers could partner with church pastors and marriage counsellors.

Bakers should have at least 3,000 friends on Facebook and be reminded of their birthdays 1 week in advance and market their products ahead of everyone else.

You should partner with me as your business coach in 2018.

DrObed:
This post has indeed been helpful. I am a new blogger and I have struggled for AdSense approval for long.I guess its time to give naija companies a chance. I hope theyvdont disappoint me

As a webmaster, I know that no add network will retain any blogger that breaks their policy. If you will not engage in click fraud, you can checkout NG Adverts

Have you got an answer to your question?

EntMirror:
I'm a web designer.. I earn from it.. I know what blogging entails.. My blog is a month old doesn't mean I'm a novice.. Thanks for the tip.

Good to know. What is design language specialty?

EntMirror:
Hmmm... Google Adsense is converting them to money bro.. However, that's not what blogging is all about.. It's about creating a community and making an impact.. Thanks for commenting..

As much these virtues are good to possess, you still need to have a clearly thought out plan on how you intend make your website profitable...even beyond adsense.
All your passion can disappear in a blink when you are faced with another year to renew your domain name and hosting; not to talk of concurrent expenses on data.

If you don't have any means of footing these bills, you surely do need a financial plan for your site.

All the same, good luck in your endeavour!

Blogging is a full time business; there's no short cut to it. You can either take the long road; learn the required skills to make it in this industry or you can be like the average blogger out there and get frustrated out of it.

Regarding your question and just as many people have pointed out:
1. Write unique content; the search engines love this.
2. Work on your SEO which includes building quality inbound and outbound links plus site design and structure.

These are not as simple as they sound; they will take a while to build just like every great project ever built.

Good luck in your endeavours!

What's the essence when they charge at the black market rate.


GTBank really pisses me off on fx transations.
It takes forever to even raise an ordinary Form A there?

No, they don't charge the black market rate, they charge above it. There's practically no use in increasing the limit if one will prefer doing business with the BDCs because their rates are cheaper.

https://www.ngadverts.com/images/2017/06/21/mindshare.png

According to Wikipedia,

"Mindshare relates generally to the development of consumer awareness or popularity, and is one of the main objectives of advertising and promotion. When people think of examples of a product type or category, they usually think of a limited number of brand names. The aim of mindshare is to establish a brand as being one of the best kinds of a given product or service, and to even have the brand name become a synonym for the product or service offered."
So in other words, Mindshare is the amount of consumer awareness or popularity surrounding a particular product. It has to do with consumers' perception of a particular brand or product compared to their rivals. One of the primary goals of advertising is to make consumers think of certain brand names more than others."

Which brings me to the question:

1. How much mindshare does your brand/product/service/business/organisation have?

2. When people think of a product or service in your industry, do they think of yours as one of the options?

According to research, one of the factors that determines purchase decision is the amount of exposure/impression a product has made on consumers. If you are not exposing your product to your consumers enough, you are losing out to your competitors who are.

To increase your market share, you have got to increase your mind share; this is one of the basic foundations of effective marketing. A bad product with massive marketing will sell far better than a good product that no one knows about.

If you believe you have got a product or service that everyone must know about, get the word out there through advertising and send other bad products/services to the dungeons where they belong.

Marketing is about mindshare; the more people know about what you have to offer, they more they can easily think of your brand and use your service.

Some brands have bought (and are still buying) mindshare through massive advertising to the extent that their products are synonymous with any other product in their industry. Here are some examples below:

1. Noodles - Indomie (other brands like Tummy-Tummy, Honey Well, Dangote, Chikki etc also exist)

2. Search Engines - Google (there are other search engines like Bing)

3. Sausage Roll - Gala

4. Tooth Paste - Close Up

5. Cement - Dangote

Building mindshare for your brand is expensive but it pays off in the long run. You may not have the financial base the big boys have to do massive advertising, but you can start with the little budget you have and let people know how awesome your product or service is.

True all the way. Newbies jump into this industry thinking it's easy money. Let him who has ears hear what Sir A-One is saying!

Interesting! We would love to hear what you think about www.ngadverts.com

Thanks for sharing this. This is one aspect we are seriously considering adding to our marketing strategy. Will you be interested in guest writing on topics related to Advertising and Publishing?

I see more and more people going into guest blogging. This is one good way to collectively grow a blog site.

Piiko:
is blogging lucrative?? A friend is seriously asking me to invest in it, what's a reasonable start up capital??

Blogging is lucrative but you must arm yourself with the right tools to make it in this industry that is now getting over crowded.

Thanks for this info. Please has anyone heard of or used https://www.ngadverts.com ?
I've heard some nice things about them but I just want to be sure before I start using them on my site.

I like innovations like this. Do contact me, I'd like to partner with you.

Do you have a website where I can get more info and see more samples?

emerem:
Please who can help me with trouble shooting my site. I installed Joomla as directed here but am still stucked. Here is the only thing I see in the frontend, am a newbie with codes though, but am suppose to see where to customize or am I missing some thing? Here www.selfaidinitiative.org.

If you really need help, you have got to learn to ask the right questions. What challenge are you facing precisely? What have you tried to do that you can't do?

Over the weekend, I shared this idea with the attendees of our Website Design Training; I will not claim it has worked all the time for me, but I can assure you, it has worked most of the time.

Web Designers are like building architects; the only difference is that they build online. A smart architect takes the time to design templates of different building structures his prospective clients from different industries might need. He knows some will want to build a skyscraper, a bungalow, a duplex etc.; so the architect takes his time to build different design concepts of these different building structures so that he can easily show his client and develop it from there.

As a web designer, don't you think it will be easier having a prospective client to pay you for his website which you have already designed? People are moved by what they see and they are more likely to pay for a service they are already seeing than one still imaginary.

The challenge however with some web developers is that they usually would have to purchase the templates they might want to use as demo to show their prospective client.
It is with regards to this challenge that we built what we call 'a playground area'(ProWebsite247) where you can choose from our list of templates, edit it with your content and easily showcase it to your prospective client.

We have a ton of features, apps and ready made video tutorial help. Since we launched it, building a websites take less than 10minutes. So when you walk on the street, be on the look out for the next business you will design their website for as you have all the tools you will need to deliver their job.

It will be our joy, to see every business have an online presence at the most minimal cost.

This lecture is over! To get started, check my signature for the proper link.

When I saw your post, the first thing I did was to check out your website rankings and I must say, I'm quite impressed. You know what you're doing.
