Start Monetizing Your Blog with SeedingUp : Interview with Johannes

By

Recently teliad (see article in our archive here), decided to rebrand to SeedingUp.

In this interview we have Johannes Stoermer (Country Manager at SeedingUp), who is going to answer some important questions.

He will explain the reasons of the rebranding move and the multiple benefits for bloggers who are going to register to SeedingUp, which will help monetize websites safely and effectively.

 

Hi Johannes, thank you for having this interview. Can you please introduce yourself to my readers?

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to talk about SeedingUp on your blog.

My name is Johannes, I’m a country manager at SeedingUp and responsible for all our English speaking advertisers and publishers.

 

What’s SeedingUp all about? Can you tell us a bit more about it?

SeedingUp is an international platform that connects advertisers and publishers/bloggers.

Bloggers use SeedingUp to monetize their site by seeding content for our advertisers.

We currently work with around 10000 bloggers who use our platform to monetize their site. Advertisers use SeedingUp to improve their brand’s visibility by getting in touch with the blogger’s audience.

SeedingUp is available in 5 different languages, English, Spanish, German, French and Italian.

 

There were some major changes in the past couple of months, specifically the rebrand from teliad to SeedingUp. Why have you decided to rebrand from teliad to SeedingUp?

teliad has been around for a long time, as it was created back in 2005 and has been around for close to 10 years.

The strategy revolved around selling and buying links, specifically Text Links – that’s where the name teliad originated from as it stands for “Text Link Ads”.

As the industry evolved over time, we as a company had to mature. teliad was still perceived as a marketplace for links, which wasn’t the case anymore as we gradually moved along with the industry to serve the needs of our advertisers.

Recent developments this year then pushed us to finally make the change to rebrand our platform to SeedingUp – a platform for bloggers to monetize their sites with content and for advertisers to quickly connect with bloggers.

 

What’s the most popular offer on the SeedingUp marketplace that a blogger can use to make money with his/her website?

Our most popular offer is the content product Blog Post.

Blog Posts are simple articles on a blog either written by the blogger or the advertiser.

The product provides a lot of flexibility both for the publisher and the advertiser and is one of the more basic products in our list of content products which include Infographics, Video Marketing, Press Releases and Advertorials.

Can you tell us a bit more about the process of how to monetize at SeedingUp?

The core process at SeedingUp consists of 3 steps.

Signing up at SeedingUp, creating an offer and receiving bookings.

Each blogger has to have an account at SeedingUp.

During the free signup process, bloggers can share information on how they want to be paid (PayPal, Bank transfer, etc.) and other details.

Once the account is setup, an offer can be created by sharing the URL and selecting the correct product.

Information about the offer such as language, description and category of the blog is then shared.

The provided information will then be shown to the advertiser.

The last step consists of determining the price.

Each blog’s price is calculated individually and we give a range of how much each offer can cost:

Once the site is setup, it’s reviewed manually by our quality team before being accepted. If the offer passes the review, bloggers can wait for bookings to come which can then be accepted or declined.

 

Do you have some particular tips to give bloggers who want to start monetize their websites with SeedingUp?

It’s important to understand that we have lots of different types of advertisers at SeedingUp who have different strategies and goals.

That being said, content is a huge factor for most of our advertisers.

If content isn’t written well or even copied the site will not be accepted on our platform as each site is reviewed manually before being admitted on SeedingUp.

Additionally a strong social media following helps advertisers to decide faster.


I see SeedingUp improved its affiliate program.  Can you tell us more about it?

Sure, we’ve actually made a couple of changes for bloggers interested in being part of it as it’s a secondary way to monetize your site via SeedingUp.

We give money for acquiring both active advertisers and publishers.

  • If you acquire a publisher that has sales of at least 10 Euro within the first 12 months after signing up, you’ll receive 30 Euro.
  • If you acquire an advertiser, you’ll receive 8% of commission for each offer they book within the first 12 months.

 

What’s your opinion about Google PageRank and the news from John Mueller in the recent Google Webmaster Hangout?

Due to its long history, the PageRank has always been highly valued but hasn’t played a major role for quite some time now, especially when it comes to determining the quality of offers on our platform.

It’s still an interesting metric for various types of internet marketers, however has served its purpose for the most part.

Other important metrics have for the most part taken its place including content.

 

Conlcusion

I hope you enjoyed this interview, and thanks to Johannes Stoermer  for his kindness.

Now you surely have a clear idea of SeedingUp and I invite you to sign up as a blogger and start monetizing your content.

  1. Hey Erik,

    Nice interview..I’m learning of Seedingup for the first time and from the interview it looks like a nice platform for bloggers to monetize their blogs.

    Good to learn of more ways to hook up with advertisers.

    Thanks for sharing the interview.
    ~Norbert

  2. I’m not sure if it’s anything new, but I think the messages of ‘huge demand’ for valuable blogs will attract a lot of bloggers looking for additional revenue streams. Looks like it could involve a lot of work though to get going properly. I’ll keep an eye on it, thanks Erik.

  3. Hey Emmanuelli,

    Thanks for the introduction of SeedingUp. I have never heard of them, but they seem similar to Google Adsense and other similar programs like this. This is a great way to earn extra income while you work on your primary business.

    I thought of looking up advertisers, but didn’t know where to start. This sounds like a great resource to start from! Thanks Emmanuelli! I hope you have a great week ahead!

  5. Hello Erik

    Great information indeed.Quite good insights to learn from.The interview too was awesome.

  6. Hi Erik and Johannes,

    Nice to meet you here Johannes.

    Fantastic post indeed. This is looking like combined post, “Interview” as well as “Review”. I liked SeedingUp and its amazing features.

    Thanks to Johannes Stoermer for sharing more detailed info about SeedingUp. I would like to join this very soon.

    Thanks Erik for bringing up Johannes here. I really enjoyed reading this post.

    Have a fantastic day both of you!

  7. Hi Erik,

    I am intrigued by your article. I will definitely be checking upon the site. As of now, not sure if I sign up, but it is now under my plan B list.

    The affiliate thing is really interesting and maybe I can dip my hands over there.

    Thanks for the review buddy.

  8. Hi Erik,

    Nice to read and know about Johannes 🙂

    Almost every blogger wants to monetize his or her blog, and the two easiest ways are hosting an advert or write a review post. So, I’m sure SeedingUp will be helpful to many bloggers.

    I know of a few other agencies like SeedingUp but they weren’t up to expectation. I’m sure SeedingUp will be different and better. I am saving this to read over the weekend with a little more time at hand. Presently my blogging schedule doesn’t allow for many reviews or sponsored posts, though I’ve started up with them now, and once I am more into it, that is the time I might look more into SeedingUp.

    Thanks for asking all the relevant questions, which has been helpful. Have a nice week ahead 🙂

  9. Hi Erik

    I appreciate your creativity to produce a product review coated with blog interview. I can say this is the newest form of product review as far as my knowledge is concerned. Maybe I am wrong.

    Who don’t want to monetize his blog. Obviously Seedingup must have certain requirements related to domain authority, page rank, number of visitors and traffic demographics which it does not want to share and may applying while approving a blog request to monetize it.

    Once again thanks for such a wonderful interview blog post with a review of a useful product in it.

    • Hi Mi Muba,

      Thanks for your comment. As Erik already stated, all the blogs on SeedingUp are manually reviewed.

      We really don’t have any requirements concerning the metrics (e.g. DA, PR). The most important factor is content. If it’s genuine and attention grabbing you will most certainly be accepted. Of course other factors such as social media reach or other marketing channels definitely help.

  10. Hi Erik,
    it was so nice of you to come up with such a nice and helpful topics. I am sure it will definitely help many bloggers looking for advertising on their blogs. I am one of those too. 🙂

    Seeding up has definitely caught my interest. Right now I am too taken up by a project to join this because it will at least require a little time to get accustomed to it. But definitely it is on my weekend to do list. 🙂

    • Hi Erik!
      Very informative post about SeedingUp.
      I’ll check it out and see if it can suit for my blog.
      Thanks for sharing!

  11. Hi Erik,

  12. Hi Erik,

    Thanks for this interview, I never heard of SeedingUp, nor Johannes. Is good to be here today reading this, this will help bloggers makes some quick cash, but also, caution has to be taken when participating in programs like this….because of so many Google this , Google that.

    Thanks for sharing.

  13. Great Platform indeed!

    Sometimes I wonder from where do you get to know about such ultimate platforms..LOL 🙂

    Is it easy to get approval on this platform.. ?

    Thanks! 🙂

  14. Hi Erik,

    It’s a wonderful one here, probably, I’ve never come across SeedingUp but I’m glad I could get to know that here on this interview, it’s a nice interview though.

    Thanks for the BIG share.

    Happy Sunday.

  15. Hey Erik,
    I have never heard about SeedingUp so I though of checking out the post. I have some blogs that I can use with the service but at the moment I am focusing more on increasing the traffic and building the blogs and taking it to a whole different level.

    However thanks for sharing the post as I will surely be checking out the site!
    Thanks.

  16. Hi Erik ,
    I am an experienced user with seedingup for over a year now, they are very good option for Bloggers who want to monetize their blogs, on the other hand, Johannes whom you interviewed in this post seem to be someone I had spoken with directly via mail when I complained about earnings which I recieved via cheque.
    My bank had issues clearing that cheque I got from SeedingUp, for over 8months, the cheque stayed with me I couldn’t do a thing with it, I mailed them, (Johannes replied), the response they gave towards solution to helping me recieve my earnings was really discouraging. I was asked to send back the cheque, which would incur charges from my mail service, I do not intend to Spoil anything about their Reputation which I believe is good, but I really wish they work on their Payment systems to be flexible as much as possible just in case publishers like myself change payment option after cheque is sent.
    At least we know without difficulty we can request Adsense to resend our PIN or cheque if we had issues not recieving or clearing the one they already sent. I hope Mr Jonhannes and his team gets aware about this suggestion.
    Thank you.

  17. Hi Erik and Johannes,
    Interesting post and interview! I had never heard of Seeding up before ad it sounds like a solid option for bloggers and content marketers to monetize their blog. I am very glad that the service has high standards for content and that can be a very good thing. Having great standards makes bloggers work harder and produce “epic content” that is evergreen and of high value both to the blogger and to others. I am going to bookmark this site and come back to it later.
    Thanks,
    Harish

  18. Hi admin

    Awesome blogger and an amazing inspiration for all of us newbies in the field.

    Thanks for featuring him on your blog, keep sharing …!

  20. Hello Erik!!

    Thanks for sharing this post because most people feel you don’t have to monetize your blog since blogging is helping the community.

    There are so may ways you can monetize your blog and never have to ask your visitor to buy anything. All you have to do is be affiliated to what you are sending to that way you have a little commission when the purchase anything.

    Thanks for Sharing 🙂

  22. The strategy revolved around selling and buying links, specifically Text Links – that’s where the name teliad originated from as it stands for “Text Link Ads”.

  23. Hi Erik. Happy to read this interview with Johannes,

  26. Interesting. Is there any difference between it and google adsense? or that’s the same?
    Interesting part in the platform is about the part that a blogger can decide or at least request the price range if I understood right.
    I will have to check it out further.

  27. Just recently joined Seedingup, It is a good network especially if you are looking for sponsored posts. Your interview, provides tips to any blogger who would like to join them. So far I like their platform that connects advertisers with bloggers plus their support is superb.
