I'm a fresh blogger and was wondering if anyone had advice about generating revenue nontraditionally (aka outside of adsense, amazon etc.) by reaching out to companies who paid a solid monthly fee to advertise on your website?
1. Produce a trade show. If your business is one that serves the consumer service industry, you could create a themed trade show at a local hotel for you and other noncompeting service providers. For instance, if you own a bridal gown store, a catering service or a flower shop, you could create a bridal show for you and other bridal service providers, such as DJs, tux companies, photographers and printers. You'll generate admissions and booth revenue, plus you can use aggregate exhibitor money to buy advertising you wouldn't normally be able to afford.
2. Put on a traveling workshop. Does your business use a lot of vendors? Do you have branch offices? A software developer I know created a traveling workshop so customers and their employees could benefit from one-day seminars and demonstrations from industry-specific experts. You could do the same. You make money by charging the experts to purchase time in your seminar, and create sponsorship opportunities from second-tier vendors. For instance, if you own a gym, you could sell sponsorships to exercise equipment manufacturers or makers of health food products. A mini traveling trade show that doesn't cost your customers tons of money for employee travel and lodging is a real bargain for them and an income-generating opportunity for you.
