"Sales Question? How to sell ad space?"


          

Hello. I have website for Environmentally Friendly Products and Services. I started in May and have so far sold 2 banner ads. I would like to sell more, but am not sure the right avenue.
The first option I have considered is to hire a sales person to sell ad space, but I would like to pay that person a commission (20% per ad sale).
How do I find someone? Should I put out a classified ad or contact an ad company?
My other option is to approach businesses myself. I have a media kit with information and stats on the site. What is the best way to contact businesses for an online business? I do not want to send spam. Would a print mailing work for an online business?

Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you, Leah

If you find someone to sell ad space on commission let me know how you did it.

I have the same problem. I've not found anyone willing to work on straight commission.

Good luck, Deb
