Episode notes
Be The Technical Partner Publishers Need
- Add value by solving technical hurdles for publishers and advertisers with tailored tools and monitoring.
- Proactively report platform issues and handle fixes to become a trusted partner rather than a transactional network.
Invest In Relationships And Give First
- Build goodwill by connecting people freely and handling issues fairly; relationships will pay back when you start your own venture.
- Ask for help and lean on industry contacts when you need support.
Ask For Monetization Opportunities
- Ask advertisers for creative monetization opportunities; the worst outcome is a no.
- Propose win-win traffic distribution or overflow monetization to capture revenue advertisers won't build internally.
