Buy Me A Ferrari

I recently came across an interesting forum post by Viraj on the Blogger to Blogger forum - the post itself was asking why bloggers still list their prices in dollars rather than pounds.

This made me think as I am from the United Kingdom and therefore my primary currency is GBP (Great British Pounds), however, I still charge for advertising in dollars.

At the time of writing my advertising page, I thought that listing my prices in dollars would be more widely accepted with most viewers coming from the US. Thinking about it now though, even if the advertiser is from the States, there’s no reason why they couldn’t pay in pounds using Paypal.

If I’m advertising somewhere, I have to pay in dollars usually so can’t see it being much of a problem if people have to pay me in pounds.

I’m now off to update my advertise page with updated prices.

Let’s see how this turns out, if you have any comments let me know as I’d love to hear your thoughts.

After my post last night about free advertisement to try and get things going, a couple of people got in touch.

Both of the two lucky enough to grab themselves free ad slots opted for a 125×125 banner above the fold, and the two can now be seem, on the sidebar on the right.

The first person to take me up on my offer was Pam Hoffman from Internet Marketing Seminar Listing Service. Pam found the site through Entrecard and took me up on the offer straight away. She blogs about different internet marketing seminars. Give her site a click and have a look at her blog.

The second person to take me up on the free ad slot was Viraj from Blogger To Blogger - a blog and a cool forum; which if you are a blogger, you should join. I’ve been a member on there for a while now and like the community over there. Give his banner a click and get talking.

Thanks to both of the above for taking me up on the offer, there will be more offers in the future. If you would like to advertise now, I’m happy to listen to any offers - most of which I will accept as long as they aren’t ridiculously low.

Obviously the advertising slots aren’t going to fill up real quick due to there being no proof or any decent amounts of traffic yet.

So, as I’d like to see this work and fill up some of the slots at least, I’d like to offer the first two people to email me: advertise@buymeaferrari.co.uk a slot each. Just put in the email which slot you would like and I’ll reply if you are successful.

The first two to email will receive their choice of advertisement for one month only.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to your email!
