Dear LIB readers, should I take political ads?

Abeg, I need y'all to help me out with this dilemma. Contrary to what some of you think, I haven't, so far, collected a dime from any political party to run ads or a story. If you see any banner ads on my blog, it's from Google adsense and not direct from me. And the stories are absolutely not sponsored.

But the thing is, in the last few months, and it has especially intensified in the last few weeks, reps of political parties have been coming to me to run their ads. And the kind of money they are throwing at me...OMG! Lol. So far, I have resisted. I restrict my ads to strictly brands but these political ad  people will not leave me alone. They say every media platform in the world run political ads so I should be open minded. I'm talking about APC, PDP, their supporters and enemies.

And the money is PLENTY! Like, y'all won't believe how much they are throwing at me.. Lol. What do y'all think? Should I run political ads from both parties? It could make me increase LIB Giveaway Mondays, so all of us will chop inside. Lol. Or should I just leave it alone? I'm sincerely confused. *sigh*

Sincerely Linda, business is business. I honestly think you can take their money. It's not as if they will coerce you to vote for someone you don't want. Ad campaign is a way to reach out and your blog is a social means of achieving that. For me it's a win win.

Unknown said...

Well for busines its good, but even if we tell u our opinion u will still do what u want to do. alot of money is going round now for political campaign and dey say nigeria is in dept.

LINDA, PERSONALLY I THINK YOU SHLD THINK AS A BUSINESS WOMAN. AND TAKE ALL AD OFFERS AS LONG AS THEY DO NOT AFFECT THE BUSINESS OR PRINCIPLES YOUR BUSINESS STANDS FOR.

If it is just to advertise i.e put a banner on your page then maybe it is a good idea but my advice is not to get sucked into campaigning for anyone. You are a blogger, you do not want your conscience bought. Banner ok!! others Nooo!!!Remain neutral!!!! Keep your political affiliates to yourself and let others make decision for themselves. You are a role model so be careful!!

simply tell them your platform is open to all and you will give all clients equal level opportunity without favoritism then of course collect your pay.

Journalism is neutral (let us pretend what you do is just that) therefore collect the money and post the ads. Because u post Cheri noodles ad does not mean you endorse it. Abeg leave sentiments, collect the money and wait for them again in 4 years. God don butter your bread, make He do our own too na wetin we dey pray jare.

Unknown said...

I just love you for being so down to earth I swear! U are such a rare personality Linda, may God protect you so u can continue being you! Ok now my advice is this: you know the way you normally wash ur hands off any post b4 posting it as it was sent? Do the same in this issue. You are a business woman, you have to sell your market. So feel free to publish whatever they want you to publish and write a disclaimer before the post. So u can run ads for whatever party that comes to you, even the unborn parties. And pls let them know your conditions 1st o, and have it signed! You should have no influence on your readers' votes and make sure u spell it out!!! Goodluck and enjoy ur money hun. I wish I can be as successful as you are.

Don Glazy said...

Sincerely,left to me,I did advise you take it,cos u take it or u don't ,the campaign must go on,but DON'T RUN ANY PARTY DOWN!!

Take the ads from everybody and captioned it. Sponsored ad. Use the money to improve your business and give away as you deem fit. I believe you also working on a charity organisation. Put some money there as well. Family and friend. Joor carry go. You have the platform. Benefit

Damochedxb said...

See question ooo? Run the ad and give me 40% if you are feeling guilty so i can help you share some guilt... Lol.. but on a more serious note, running a political ad is strictly business as long as you are not campaigning for one particular political party. O girl collect the bar. Dont dull!!!

Linda please do. But you need to be indifferent. It will only be ads no additional words from u cos u will be putting Ads for both parties. All the best. Can't wait to win money on LIB.

U didn't need to announce it. Anyway, I think u should take adverts from different parties so it doesn't seem like u r endorsing any party. Politics is dirty, biko b neutral on ur platform.

X'tine Neni said...

From my point of view,it's advertisement covered under the 'event' section of your blog. So why not?.I mean from your blog history, you are smart enough to alienate yourself from your stories and not take sides,how you do it, don't know:),so you could apply similar principles?.Good of you to ask,but I think it's your decision really.x

Sunkanmi said...

I think you should run the ad and don't let them take the stolen money elsewhere. You can run the ad and use a share of the money to help some Nigerians like you have always done.

On whether the Ad would influence some people's decision, i think we all know whats going on in Nigeria and IMHO it doesn't make sense for anyone to base his/her decision on who to vote for solely on the content of an Ad. Whoever needs more info in making his/her decision can do more research online.

Pls. run the Ad ooo, collect the money and help some folks life with it... Result is more favour for you.

Cheers!

Toronto Finest said...

This is my advise.. Take from the two parties. Dont take from PDP and leave APC.. Dont take from APC and leave PDP cos if you take from only one party and they lose out.. The winning party might come after you later on. For instance you take from PDP..APC in lagos would come after you.. they might zeal up your house saying its govt land or whatever and as we all know that there is no justice in Nigeria. Pls act wise. ( Remember that Yinka Ayefele almost lost his house in Ibadan over this).

Doc A said...

The problem with that is it's will just turn into a political fan fare. I don't know about any credible media source that runs ads. Not tmz or cnn.
At the end of the day, the choice is yours. It will just get out of control sha.
Again it's your blog and your vision. You alone know what you are building.

Also you need an arm of your company that does charitable givings. Remove Monday giveaways and have it go there.
You should have multiple pages on your blog, and why aren't you using your domain. That way, you could have a section called politics and then maybe have that there. Another section called health, one for naija gist, another for other gist. Ppl can go directly to what they want. Kinda like bellanaija does.

Unknown said...

I tink u can run ads frm both parties,normal ads to campaign 4 som1 bt dnt b biased wit a particular party so it won't cause trouble.if som1 brings an ad run it bt nt d type dt require u 2 slander a particular person or a particular party!!!! Cheers

Linda, there is no crime in running ads for both parties in as much you stay neutral. On a good day, being in the media business, you are not expected to support any political party. You need to make this clear to them especially if it's contract binding.
It's your time baby, ride on and make it count.

BE POLITICAL NEUTRAL PLEASE

Sirius said...

I feel you. It sucks having to deal with these political things, especially when you know that there are running for selfish reasons.
Get your lawyer to advise.
Also be open with all parties about whether or not you will post for any and every party that approaches you rather than exclusively for one party.

Seeing as the money is unbelievablely good (bad money heheheh) you could use most of it to help people. Bonuses to your staff like never before
Helping random people
Contributing to as many schools / orphanages as possible.
A couple more bags and shoes to yourself *wink*

Your Blog has been a huge media platform for Nigerians locally and internationally, there's a certain esoteric joy that it brings reading news from an unbiased perspective. Please don't taint that by running political ads, by being unbiased, it would increase your value in the longer run and also your influence, you never see BBC OR CNN running political ads, they just broadcast the drama and so fort, they don't endorse, please stick with that.
A good name is better than silver and gold.

Thanks
George

Please leave it alone, if you collect money, it will be difficult to be objective in future reports, don't be tempted.

You are in this online blog thing for business strictly. So whoever wants to advertise on your platform is free to do so. Having said that you need to make all interested party to be aware that you do not do exclusivity advertorial rights with any party else they would be offended if they see the advert of a competing party.
