OIO Publisher Direct Give Away

written by John Chow on January 5th, 2009

OIOPublisher is the best solution for bloggers trying to sell direct advertising. Before this awesome piece of software came along, I would always recommend new bloggers use 3rd party ad networks instead of selling ads directly because you need to concentrate on producing content when you’re starting out.

What OIOPublisher automates the ad buying process so you can concentrate on blogging instead of selling. By using OIOPublisher, advertisers can order, pay for and upload their ads directly to your blog. The only thing you have to do is approve the ad. If you get a sale, then great! If not, then OIOPublisher will run ads from the ad networks or your own house ads until you do. Some of the other features include:

  • Possible to integrate the ad platform with any website that uses PHP
  • Purchase / account pages are now templated, editable within the admin area
  • Text links are now controlled via zones (like banner ads)
  • Works with PayPal and PayPal Subscription
  • Full javascript ad display support
  • Entrecard Payment option integrated

The software will work on any website that use PHP. Wordpress users get an easy to install plugin. OIOPublisher Direct sells for $47 and is worth every penny. However, I have two copies to give away.

How To Enter

To enter for a chance to win one of two copies of OIOPublisher Direct, simply reply to this post. It doesn’t get easier than that! You only need to reply once. Replying multiple times won’t get you more entries. However, if you blog about this contest and link to this post, I’ll give you five more entries. I give you three more entries if you send the following tweet to your followers.

Win a copy of OIOPublisher Direct from @JohnChowDotCom. It automates ad sales for your blog. Enter here! http://xr.com/lnf

The contest deadline is Friday, January 30. The winners will be drawn on Saturday, January 31 at Dot Com Pho. Good luck and enter now!

  1. I’ve been looking for a means of getting some more advertising onto my blogs and this seems like a good system for doing so. We’ll see if i win a copy, and it’s great that this easily integrates with Wordpress.

  2. nice nice , hopefully I can win :P

  3. Sweet. I’ve been waiting for a chance to win a copy of this software!

  4. Nice software, would love to win it!

  5. Would be cool to incorporate it on my blog, i like that they display other ads until you make a sale.

  6. Hi John. I twittered (@brandingdavid) and now I’ve responded. :) Good luck to others that enter.

  7. Its a great tool..i am blogging and twittering this

  8. oh snap~!

    logging onto twitter right now…

  9. I bought it and never got around to using it – that was 5 months ago now….lol

  10. Great Recommendation! Thanks for Sharing John.

  11. I have this on my list of two things to buy for my blog. The other being a real theme.

  12. I sent out a tweet @browie (obviously)

    Good Luck to me.

  13. Definitely a great resource for bloggers as long as it is used in compliance with google.

  14. Hope I win; need to get some ads up.

  15. This sounds like a great piece of software. I will have to seriously consider this one. Thanks for the recommendation.

  16. I am not against to get it as a gift presented by Santa.

  17. Wow.. I’ll give it a try..

  18. It would be interesting to discuss this topic further since there are loads of direct ad serving solutions around. Am currently using http://www.adbutler.com which costs money to use. Once tried http://www.openx.org however I decided against it when I discovered it not to be user friendly, really struggled to get the hang of it.

  19. Twitted + Comment ! :D Cheers.. Hope I win =.=

  20. Kiley

    Tweeted John, @lenstrom. Good stuff Evil One.

  21. I see John is jumping on that 90% sales commission.

    Though I think he should have talked about that more(I mean this website is read by a ton of marketing/affiliate bloggers).

  22. Fantastic resource to look into for setting up our ads! Since I’m new, I haven’t even looked into these types of solutions as of yet, but will definitely visit the site.

    Now I just need to get all my stats up so I can even get some eyes interested in advertising on my blog…babysteps, one foot in front of the other. :)

  23. Shawn

    This seems like a great program, I may have to give it a try. I currently use OPENX but it has it’s flaws.. I like the way that it integrates paypal. Maybe I will win!

  24. Count me in, John!

    Nice software btw.

  25. I’ve been wanting to give OIO a go. I put up their affiliate banner in hopes of raising the money to purchase it. *crosses fingers*

  26. Thanks for helpful information

  27. Great resource for bloggers. I may have to give it a try.

  28. Sure I’ll give it a shot. Time saving = money saving.

  29. Woo hoo…gimme gimme gimme, please :)

  30. nice! sounds like a sweet deal for the aspiring blogger!
    i just sent out a tweet too, though i’m practically brand new and have no followers yet.
    maybe i’ll do a writeup about your post tomorrow.

  32. This is me replying.. Hopefully I can stop thinking about managing my direct advertising if I win this

  33. PC

    I would love to win it..

    Here is my comment and I tweeted too ( @pcsbox )..

    Here is the tweet http://twitter.com/pcsbox/statuses/1099203687

  34. Thanks John,

    I am in..I love the plugin

  35. Awesome way of creating a contest John.

    I like the fact how you create a buzz about the competition both on blogs and on twitter.

    Anyway I Have commented (this comment obviously)

    I have created a blog post about it
    http://www.tobias-fransson.com/oio-publisher-contest/

    And I have twittered about it
    http://twitter.com/tobiasfransson

    Good luck to all the contestants and happy 2009 to everyone!

    John, something’s going on with your post http://www.johnchow.com/how-to-make-2009-your-best-blogging-year/ , I guess you have been hacked or something, it shows a blank page saying Die ! Spammer Die !. Maybe its yet another of your tricks to make money.

  37. I’ve already Tweeted about the contest and will be scheduling a post later on today. I’m sure many people will enjoy this opportunity and OIOPublisher will have many new customers through this exposure.

    Thanks for the opportunity John.

  38. Hey John – Here is my reply, I will post my review on this contest at my blog in the next few hours. *crosses fingers*

  39. This is cool contest. Sign me up. Thanks Greg Ellison

  40. Great tip – looks like a terrific program. Automation is what we need. Have also Tweeted it as well. Thx John

  41. Please count this as my entry John. I really need to automate my ad inventory and it would be great to win this.

  42. Been wanted to try this plugin but just thinking twice whether it will really bring good money..

  43. I’m in, I have also Tweeted it as well.

  44. How does this compare to Google’s platform. I guess it’s nice that it’s just an up front fee as opposed to a percentage based fee like Google’s?

  45. ooh count me in, I’ve been wanting to hop on board the OIO train forever!

  46. john count me on these one.

  47. I am responding to the article on the OIP product. I sent the twitter and will put the information on my blogs at sanborns.blogspot.com and others if I get a chance. ERP-PeopleSoft-Consultants.com; chahinkapa.com/blog; cajanateam.blogspot.com. Would love to win this for my son.

  48. I’m in! Thanks for the opportunity!

  49. Hey, I wouldn’t mind having one of these OIO publishers. This will be my first contest win ever (if I win of course) :D

    Thanks for the contest John!

  50. I’ll take my chance, too. And I’ll use it on a Turkish blog :)

  51. I am commenting here – cool contest – and tweeted today too – twitter.com/laurelea

    Thanks John!

    BTW – love your dancing and singing with Tom…:)

  52. Here is my comment!

    Thank you John Chow!

  53. Well, would be good to win a copy in this new year :-)

    Thanks for having this contest. Have a great year ahead…!!

    Cheers!

    http://www.openx.org/

  64. I want to win too…law of attraction

  65. I will try this tools….hope working better,thanks

  66. Great Featured advertising plugin. I hope Openx will become better by adding a sale automation module.

  67. Don’t count me in John, because I’ve had OIOPublisher for a while now!

    I just wanted to say that this is easily the best ad software I’ve used. It makes things so much easier & for the advertisers as well. I also love the affiliate setup they have so that you can pay people to bring advertisers to your site.

  68. Erz

    Great! Count me in please. Thanks!

  69. i am in the contest too. Good luck everyone :)

  70. woh! Interested..i hope i’m not too late..

  71. Hello John Chow (hey you have the same first name as me!),

    I’d be very keen to obtain this software, it looks fantastic. While chances are slim of winning it, you gotta be in it to win :) .Thanks. John

  72. Joe

    Looks like an excellent piece of kit, finger crossed I’m lucky enough to win a copy. Lord knows I could use the help.

    Good Luck All.

  73. I’m in on this one.

  74. Gem

    I should be giving this one a try. I had been using 125×125 ads direct selling and it doesn’t seem to benefit me, except to put my own ads.

    Hope I get lucky. I’ve heard about OIO publisher before but I prefer to have a free version, such as that is given in a contest.

  75. H.

    Great post, this is worth keeping in mind for future growth.
    Thanks.

  76. Hey John,

    Good morning to you. I thought it was quite swift of you to use the “picture of the girl and her booty” in catching someone’s eye in sliding on over to this blog post you made. Boy you are legitimately smooth…lol

    Shawn

  77. Already have a copy, its a nice tool for bloggers.

  78. Can’t pass this one up :)

  79. This is one good chance, wouldn’t want to miss this one. Twweeet around now.

  80. Sign me up lul, looks like this could be fun

  81. I’d love to win a copy of OIO ’cause it sure beats paying for it :D

  82. I would love to win a copy of OIO too.

  83. Cool software, if I don’t win I may buy :-)

  84. I would really like to get OIOPublisher… Count me in! :D

  85. Count me in! I already finished tweeting it > @iheartcontest — twitter.com / iheartcontest

  86. Hi John, I’ll hope to win a copy of Oio plugin!
    I’ve just tweet it at @maxp76.
    Good luck to everybody!
    Massimo

  87. Hey Chow,
    Looks like a good advertising program, is it google friendly with selling links.. like does it allow nofollow for links, etc..?

  88. Andy

    Hopefully I’ll win, that would be exactly what I need!

  89. Max

    I test it on sexycrack.com but its not working, why ?

  90. I’ve always wanted this plugin for use on my business blogs.

    I did read somewhere that if you didn’t have the money to buy this plugin, then you shouldn’t really be in the business, but some of us are just strapped for cash at the best of times, and buying this plugin is just way out of our budget.

    I have seen it used, and it is a good piece of software, just need shorter URL’s and I think it would be better.

  91. give it to me!

  94. I’ve actually seen this in action on their demo site. Awesome product if you ask me.

  95. I’m in. From the comments sounds like a great tool.

  96. What about Russian-language Blogs? Is this for them tempting?

  97. Sounds good for a true “newbie” like myself. Thanks for all the great contest!

  98. Hey John,

    Thanks for the great and easy contest! But this plugin would definitely come in handy so wish me luck!

    Also, I posted about the contest at http://www.bloggingcontests.com/2009/win-a-oiopublisher-direct-ad-plugin-at-johnchowcom/ so I guess that’s 6 total entries for me, huh?
