Publisher: The #1 Songwriting Blog

Advertising Thanks for stopping by :-) We have been slowly moving away from automated ad serving (like Google AdSense) because they mostly serve crap. Instead we are trying to provide ads from people that need the exposure. To do this we’re providing advertising opportunities for prices far less than other songwriting sites that sell ads for the same amount of exposure. Take a look at the following options and see what works for you. If you have some creative ideas for something unique, just let us know and we can see if we can make it work. Some stats … We currently (January 2012) serve an average of 1000 unique visitors per day, and our newsletter reaches almost 2500 opt-in subscribers. Monthly Newsletter Sponsorship Our newsletter goes out to about 2500 subscribers every month. Your advertisement will include a title, 2-3 sentences, and a link to your website or web page. Click here to view a sample newsletter and see your potential ad placement as well as some sample ads. Cost: $45/month (3 month minimum), or $55 for a single month trial Run Of Site Banner Please Note: This item is currently sold out through July 2012. Contact us for August 2012 placement and beyond. The upper right hand corner of the site contains a 468×60 banner ad. See it? That ad is displayed on all pages on the site, including all 300+ articles. This is called a “run of site” banner. Click on the thumbnail graphic if you need details on where this is placed. Cost: $55/mo Sponsored Post This can be a “sponsored post” by you, or an article written by Blogging Muses dedicated to an in-depth review of your product. We have been provided for review digital voice recorders, recording software, apps, songwriting books, microphones, websites, and a plethora of musical instruments. We love doing reviews (mostly because we love playing with new toys!) The review will occupy space on the homepage of Blogging Muses for a minimum of one month (sometimes more depending on our editorial calendar), and will have a permanent review page in our archives, searchable through our site and all major search engines. Cost: $250 Keep the following in mind regarding product/service reviews: If written by us, the review will be published within three weeks of payment to allow full review time. Perhaps longer if an item must be shipped for review, but this will be discussed on an as-needed basis. We try to be thorough. If 3 weeks is too long, and you need an “express review” contact us here for availability and rates. If your product was comped to Blogging Muses for a review we will disclose that to our readers. Content Body Inline Note: We are currently using this for our own product promotion with much success. Contact us for September 2012 placement and beyond. At the bottom of each article there is an ad. Currently (Jan – April 2012) this is being used to promote the new Blogging Muses eBook. In the past this spot has been sold to authors pitching their latest book, new bands, songwriting contests, and recording studios. Cost: $150 per month (3 month committment) or $200 for 1 month trial.
