Project Wonderful-Who uses it?

So does anyone still use project wonderful? I found it useful and inexpensive! Does anyone have any strategies they'd like to share? Great success stories?

On the flip side of sharing...
Does anyone need any help with setting up or creating campaigns in PJ? I have infos to share too!

We use PW from time to time. It used to have a lot more places to advertise on. Now it it more limited, but it still works well if you know when and where to post ads. It is better than having to pay ridiculously inflated CPM to some places.

yeah I didn't get a whole lot of click throughs, but super high impressions. Because I was working on a small $10 week budget, I did see value in "branding" my comic. SO people who read comics may not click on my ad per se, BUT they see the ad all over the place and therefore become familiar with it. So then, when I do a big push, or go out to a convention people would be like "oh yeah I've heard of Creepy Carly"!

I use it. Its great but has the same problems you mentioned. High Impressions, how click through. Still good though.

I use it! No really grand stories of success, As I haven't had any nominal success LOL. ( i don't even know if I used that word right TBH LOL)

BUT With the adspaces I run im able to maintain an average that allows me to run at least a ad campaign every 2 weeks. to me its free money lol! I mean im running ads with money from ads. I dont recall the last time i put money INTO PW. For what its worth in free money. I say i get a good amount of impressions maybe half keep coming around. after each venture. so i'm not doing TOO bad y'know?

I know of some creators who found success via Project Wonderful. As with any advertising, you need to find the matching audience + good ad placement. I heard "campaigns" don't work as well as picking individual sites to advertise. Of course, picking each site you want to advertise takes a lot of time and effort.

Targeting does seem to work better. That is what we do the most.

Campaigns can work well. We found that if you run on a lot of sites at once it give a good return, but it can blast through your money very quickly.
