So you’ve got a blog set up, you’re creating content, you’re growing your reader base. – AWESOME, but we’ve all got bills to pay, so how can we turn our blogs into a mean, lean, bill paying machine?
Sure there are various advertising platforms you can use, BuySellAds, Project Wonderful, Google Adsense, AdBrite - The list goes on.
There does seem to be a down side to most of them, the main one is that you are completely at the mercy of these advertising platforms, if they choose to make changes to their service then you’ve got to grim and bear it.
What if YOU could have COMPLETE CONTROL over all the advertising space on your blog?
This is where the WP Ad Center plugin comes in.
What is WP Ad Center?
WP Ad Center is a brand new WordPress plugin brought to you by the lovely people at Kooc Media, designed specifically to help you take control and make the most out of advertising space on your WordPress site.
Installing WP Ad Center
Installing is a doddle, you can upload via FTP but the easiest way is to upload via WordPress by clicking “add new” within the plugin section of the admin panel, then selecting “upload” and choosing the file from your hard drive.
Then simply activate WP Ad Center and you will then see the WP Ad Center in its own section within the admin panel.
Making sure YOU get PAID
Before we go any further, you will want to first make sure that you’re going to get paid – VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD. Just click the arrow next to “WP Ad Center” within your admin panel to expand it and select “settings”. – Then just add your PayPal email address & select your currency (there’s an extensive list to choose from).

Advertisers
