Found it through PH and already put it on my site as it really struck a chord with me. I see it as a lite version of carbon ads, perfect for side-projecteers and makers.
I'd like to use the ad network not just to advertise, but to ask people to help out fellow makers by answering the surveys people create on kanochart.com . Is that ok with you?
Hey, thanks for the compliments :)
Each product can only have one ad to keep things fair, so if you want to do this then what I suggest is making a generic ad for Kanochart that redirects to a different survey on each click. What do you think?
I stated what I wanted to do a bit wrong, it's in fact a signup-page, but not for the product itself. It's a kind of registration page to be notified of new surveys. But judging from the answer you gave, I guess that'll be alright then.
I had already submitted something earlier, but I suppose a new add will simply replace the old one, right?
(By the way, I saw you have your audience vote along for features. If you want to go a step further, the tool I'm advertising (kanochart.com) could be helpful. Let me know if I can help with anything).
Send me the new image on twitter or email makerads@squarecat.io and I'll update it for you.
I'll take a look at Kanochart thanks!
Thanks, but you can really just throw away all of the first submission as I just submitted the new one. :)
I just saw this on product hunt! Genius Idea!
This is awesome to hear! Thanks so much :)
of course! How'd you come up with this idea? It kind of reminds me of the story of LinkExchange from the guy who founded Zappos!
We've seen a few people in the maker community asking for a way to monetise their products with advertising, but without showing visitors irrelevant or ugly ads (or having them served from big bad corporations). Since makers also often struggle with self promotion we wanted to create something to help solve both problems.
This is just amazing — love how straightforward the process is. I'll be using this on my upcoming project.
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions :)
Cool! What's the average CPM for sponsored ads?
All stats are public so you can see exact numbers here https://makerads.xyz/stats
CTR right now averages at 1.32% for sponsored posts. But varies quite a bit by ad.
I saw that page but I'm asking about CPM 😉
How much does a sponsored ad cost?
