I really can't believe the events that have occurred in the last year. I started buying blogads in July of 2005 for my online store. A few weeks later, I got called by Distinctive Assets, the company that does the events for the Grammy® awards. They'd seen my blogads and wanted my t-shirts in the award ceremony gift bags. <br/> I started getting OTHER phone calls. The Grammy® award gift bag led to a call from a member of the musical group The Black Eyed Peas. Two pairs of custom jeans were made especially for their tour. <br/> Then an article in the Washington Post business section featured my business. Media coverage by most of the major TV networks here in the United States brought in more orders. In addition to coverage in the United States, stories in the Australian and Canadian media have added to the orders. I went from being a small Kansas City retailer/manufacturer to having orders from around the world. And all this comes from buying Blogads on blogs like Perez Hilton, etc. Only 1% of my ad spend has been elsewhere. I've started other businesses and have hired two people. <br/>Before jumping into online retail, I spent 20 years as a media buyer/planner. Many of my clients were national accounts, name brands. As a media professional, it was my opinion that advertising on blogs would be a great way to reach people who are innovators and early adopters...but I never recommended blog advertising for my clients due to the horrendous process it was to implement the advertising....and then I found Blogads.com. Blogads is the perfect, no hassle solution for advertising on blogs!

People tend to blog about what they see on other blogs they read: the percentage of blog readers who actually also have blogs might surprise you. Call it nepotism, call it a connected community, call it a global feedback loop, call it influencer marketing. So your bonus ripples are that you start seeing blog entries describing the experience of having discovered the campaign (testimonial meets fresh incoming hyperlinks) that typically start with a description of where they heard about it."<br/> - Brian Clark, creator of campaigns for SharpTV, Audi and Levis, writing in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130316192108/http://www.revenews.com/brianclark/archives/000775.html#comments">Revenews.com</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130316192108/http://www.gmdstudios.com/">GMDstudios</a><div style="clear:both"></div> </li> <li> "BlogAds has been an enormously successful component of nearly every online media campaign I've developed."<br/> - Craig Peters<br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130316192108/http://www.ckpcreative.com/">CKPcreative</a> <div style="clear:both"></div></li> <li> "I'm very pleased with the ROI on Blogads, both in terms of new clients and resumes for our political staffing company.

I know the big money in writing is having movie options on your book. (I've optioned one already), not selling books.
