Sponsored Posts Go Live

Category: Blogging, From My LifeJeremy Wright @ 1:33 pm

Earlier today I posted the first ever Ensight Sponsored Post.

For those of you who may have missed the original discussion, , here it is. In it I proposed the idea of sponsored posts:

The idea? To write posts which are ‘paid for’. They would be obviously marked as sponsored or ‘advertised’ posts. They would be services I have bought or firmly believe in. And they would be written by me for you guys.

The feedback was generally positive. A lot of “go ahead and try it” and “don’t make it too frequent” type of remarks.

So, I’ve tried it. I encourage you to click through if it’s interesting to you, but only if the subject matter is interesting to you. I want the posts to be “me”, informative and touch on the products at hand. There will never be more than 1 in a week (and since I post somewhere around 50 entries a week that means that less than 2% of the content is paid for, though I’d rather that approach 1% ideally).

Let me know how you feel about this. I think this is important enough that I’m soliciting all opinions without really telling you how I feel (odd, eh?).

If you are interested in advertising, or whatnot, the Ensight Advertising Page is live. In addition, I am booking new advertisers for the side spots for September, so if you are interested in a great deal (25$/month) to a solid audience (business and tech folk), let me know.

    Your “This post is a sponsored post” disclaimer did not come through to my RSS reader (Bloglines). The feed stopped at the end of the main post making it look like a traditional post and not a sponsored post. Now sure how other readers are displaying the post, but I know it’s important to you to be upfront about the sponsored post thing so I wanted to let you know. And, just for fun, I’m going to type “post” one more time. Post (damn, I did it again).

    Jeremy Wright’s got yet another idea on how to make money from blogging – get people sponsoring your individual blog posts.

    Sponsored post didn’t kill a kitten
    Jeremy Wright tells us that a sponsored post was published on his site. The first advertising post didn’t make my computer explode and I doubt he’s going to Hell.

    In fact, the post reads like his normal blog entries. We, the reader, know what’s g…

    David, I’ll be fixing that before the next one goes out. Promise. And my apologies to my readers for not testing that earlier.
