I recently spoke with a maintainer of an open-source project who is new to advertising. During our call, I presented several options for monetizing their project. I emphasized that they could potentially earn more through sponsorships rather than by running Carbon Ads on their website. However, I also discussed the pros and cons of each option.
Did I fail to convince them to join Carbon Ads? Not at all. It's essential to prioritize the interests of your customer in these discussions. Often, they focus on a single metric and overlook the broader perspective. Joining an ad network can provide a steady monthly revenue stream with minimal effort, compared to the time spent seeking sponsorships.
At the end of the call, they expressed their willingness to try Carbon Ads and see how it works for them.
