I have designed a website to show daily stock market results?

Question

I have designed a website to upload daily stock market results obtained from my country newspapers to broadcast to the worldwide audience (fund managers and investors) who has bought shares in many companies listed in the local stock exchange. Who are those will show interest to advertise at this type of website? Is there a website that promote ads for my website?

Answer 1

Besides "Yahoo Finance", there are hundreds of sites to obtain this information. Congratulations on your development, but I doubt if you will get any takers.

Answer 2

I see only two potential issues here. First, it is likely that if anyone has already invested in your country, they have access to real time quotations now anyway. It is likely such a website exists, even if it isn't visible to the broad public. My second concern is the risk of a violation of your country's copyright laws. Does the newspaper own the sole right to publish the information? In the United States, such a website would be strictly illegal. Advertisers will need to be shown that they are not supporting an illegal website.

Answer 3

If your audiences include fund managers and investors -- who do you think would want to reach this market?

This market has money and disposable income to spend and invest, therefore anyone who wants these people to buy from them such as luxury products (this is a market that fashion house Armani would want to reach, rather than construction workers for example), financial brokerage houses (Fidelity, ETrade, Ameriprise, etc), credit cards, business travel, and a lot more

If you really want to see potential advertisers, go to sites such as SmartMoney http://www.smartmoney.com/ , Kiplinger http://www.kiplinger.com, Forbes http://www.forbes.com , TheStreet.com http://www.thestreet.com/ and similar online publications --- and see who are advertising on their websites

If you want to earn money through advertising for this website, there are several avenues:

1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.

2. Participate in contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.

3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: "no pain, no gain!"

4. Affiliate Programs - you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined)
