TPN Ebay Auctions goes LIVE!
Ebay has been used before to auction off advertising for a single podcast, in fact, we did it with G’Day World back in early 2005, but this is the first time we’ve auctioned off a range of individual shows. I love the idea of using Ebay to sell ad inventory and I’m confident that over the next few years this will become a popular ad sales model.
Today I’m launching the first of an ongoing series of Ebay auctions to sell advertising space on TPN podcasts, starting with G’Day World. There are three advertising spaces available on G’Day World and more to come on other TPN podcasts over the course of this week.
Here’s an audio promo for the auctions.

[...] Unless, that is, you do like Podcast Network and have a minimum bid. Stupid. I suppose the idea is that they figure that the minimum bid is the lowest they will take for the spots, but I think that it was stupid of them to do it. Hey TPN! I’ve got a 2001 Olds Alero that I’ll let you bid on. Runs nice. Starting bid of $25,000. That’s the least I’ll take for it. That makes it worth it right?

Auctionaing off pod casts is a great idea, which i thought, several months ago, would become very popular. I hope this becomes more commom in the future. Good luck with the aucions!
