Fairly big company wants a sponsored ad on my new blog! need your advice.
I just received this email from a fairly big website which offers free consumer information and reviews in a variety of categories, like identity theft protection and etc. This is my first experience with this kinds of sponsored ads "opportunity" if you will. What do you think I should do? If it comes down charging them a monthly fee to place an ad on my home page, what would be a fair price? Should I even consider that at this point?...
I think their service is somehow related to my niche, but what do you guys think? Do you think their service is relevant to my topic in any way that would make it ok to mention it on my blog (either in a post or as an ad)?
This blog of mine is about paid surveys, freelancing and online money making in general. Its about 10 months or so old, and gets about 200 UV (give or take a few) a day, most of them from SEs.
Here is part of the email I received, that is the reason for opening this thread:
...I'd love to get you to link to our site— I think it would be relevant and
informative for your visitors. We're most interested in one-way linking
opportunities and we're definitely open to sponsorships or any other way to
make that happen...
I would appreciate any advice and help. Thank you.
P.S.
I realize it might not be that big of a deal. But its the first time I
have received this kind of request, so I want to learn the proper way
to respond and handle it. So please keep your bashings to yourself.
Thank you
