Aylio uses Google TV Ads

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Aylio just launched a national TV ad campaign using Google TV Ads.

I asked Max (CEO of Aylio Fitness) how he pulled this off.  Here is what he said:

Find a production company that will create your commercial.  The ad must be must be 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 seconds.  Once you have the video, you may upload it to Google TV Ads.  It will take about 48 hours for approval of the technical specs, content, and basic quality of your ad.  Once approved, you are ready to bid on ad spots.  Choose the networks and time slots you wish to target and place a bid on what the CPM for each spot is worth to you.  The CPM is your cost per 1,000 impressions.  If you win the auction for the spot, you will normally see your commercial air on TV the following day.

ASK FC: Should I partner with someone?

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Vicki of No2Alike Jewelery asks: “Hi, I am being asked to partner with someone, exactly how does this work? Will they get any of my profits from my website and how will this benefit me and my business? Is this a good idea? I don’t know anything about this. Thank-you, Vicki”

Thanks for the great question Vicki.

What is it?

A partnership allows you to display a link to your store on their store and vice versa.  Checkout Shop JunCk’s partnerships:
