Use Cases / Who It’s For
GetPaid Advertising is the ideal solution for anyone looking to professionalize their website’s monetization strategy. It is perfectly suited for directory website owners who wish to sell premium placement for local businesses, as well as niche bloggers and content creators who want to transition from simple affiliate links to selling direct ad space to sponsors. By providing a self-service dashboard for advertisers, it is also a fantastic choice for busy publishers who want to generate passive income without spending hours manually managing creative assets and billing cycles.
Setup / How It Works
- Install and Activate: Ensure the core GetPaid plugin is installed, then activate the Advertising add-on.
- Define Ad Zones: Navigate to the plugin settings to create specific “zones” on your website where you intend to display advertisements.
- Configure Ad Rules: Use the intuitive settings to decide where these zones appear, whether through automated site-wide rules or by placing shortcodes/blocks in specific page builder layouts.
- Manage Advertisers: Set up your ad packages and pricing. Once live, your advertisers can use their dashboard to upload their creatives, which you can then moderate before they go live on your site.
- Automate Revenue: Let the plugin handle the display of the ads and the underlying GetPaid system manage the invoicing and payment collection from your advertisers.
