Run your own ad sales, or list the space here?
Doing it yourself means a rate card, outreach, a booking order per advertiser, your own invoice and your own chasing. You keep everything you earn, and you do everything.
| Point | Advoratise | Running your own ad sales |
|---|---|---|
| Finding buyers | Buyers search the marketplace and find your listing. | You write the outreach and follow up on it. |
| Holding your rate | Your published price is the price; there is no negotiation over the fee. | Buyers negotiate down from your rate card, especially on a first booking. |
| Getting paid | Automatic, 14 days after the advert ran, from money already held. | You invoice on net 30 or net 60, and you chase the late ones. |
| Tax paperwork | One tax form once, then invoices and marketplace reporting are handled. | You handle each buyer's country, tax and purchase-order rules yourself. |
| What you keep | Your price minus one commission, shown before you accept the booking. | One hundred percent of the money, minus the hours you spent selling. |
Where the other way wins
Direct sales keep the whole fee and build a relationship you own. A publisher with a full sales calendar earns more that way than through any marketplace.
Best for
Owners who would rather write and publish than send booking orders and invoices.
