Meet our sponsors and win an iPad : Glam

Those of you looking to expand your techie skills will meet some of the Glam experts in CyberLabs. But there's a lot more to Glam and its network. Here's what they say about what they can do for you as a blogger. And read to the end for information on how to win an iPad.

Why become a publisher with the Glam Family Network?

Running ads on your site is a big commitment. Your personal blog is your space -- your baby. You’ve spent a lot of time perfecting it and making it a place of your own. When you run ads, you are in essence “renting out” real estate on your blog to sponsor. Glam recognises this commitment, and will take very good care of your space. You’re in good company, Glam’s Family Network gets 3.6 million unique users each month. The ads are nice looking, too. Joining the ad publishing team can help to raise your profile, and you can help make your passion for blogging pay as well.

By becoming a publisher in the Glam Family network, you will:

1. Gain a partner to help you grow your site. Glam wants your site to grow and will give you access to resources that will help you reach your best. Focus on being a really good blogger, and Glam will help open doors to the rest.

2. Monetise your blog. With Glam, you earn a higher (premium) CPM. The amount you earn is based on traffic, so as your site grows, your revenue will too.

3. Plug into a larger network. As a blogger, you are often a “one-woman show”, having to be your own reporter, editor, IT support and marketer. Glam offers you access to a wider community of expertise and resources. Some of these include SEO and design workshops, tech support when you can’t get your ads to work, and networking events. You will be introduced to bloggers outside family blogging as Glam also represents other women bloggers in multiple verticals including fashion, food and entertainment.

4. Work with a top publisher. Glam ranks #1 in lifestyle, and #2 in family & parenting sites WORLDWIDE (according to Comscore). That is cool.

5. Be associated with the best. Glam only works with premium brands.

6. Have control over your ads. With Glam, you have complete control over which types of ads you want to run on your site. Everything is open and transparent.

7. Have fun and enjoy blogging. Blogging is supposed to be fun and with Glam you will have access to industry events where you can meet other bloggers, explore possibilities with sponsors and even enjoy occasional freebies.
