Make your own landing page!
Why wi you anding age out-eom the advetise’s? Becauseyou’e going to e-quaiy you use.
Carriers
Many ingtone oes ony cate tosecic caies. Some may convetwe o Veizon, some o Sint andothes o T-Mobie. (Don’t hesitateto ask you aiate manage whichovide is woking best on theinetwok.)Now, on you anding age you’ ask the use who thei caie is and sendthem to an oe they can actuay use.
Geo-targeting
You can aso use you anding ageto see what county the use iscoming om and then send themto an oe based on thei ocation. Thee ae ingtone oes in ove 100counties now.Don’t assume that just because youhave seected ony US tac that thisis what you’ get. In act, I oten see a5-10% magin o eo hee.
Other Ways to Monetie
What i the anding age you madedoesn’t oe a use’s caie? O whati the use decides they don’t wantto aticiate in the ogam? Thisis why you anding age shoudaso incude a huge Googe AdSenseeade boad aong the bottom.By acing it at the bottom, you aenot ony getting some money omthem (as a ast ditch eot), but youae not making the ads so ominentthat the use ematuey eaves yousite. (Don’t oget, to make moneyom Googe AdSense someone hasto
leave

I ecommend usingGooge Website Otimize to seewhich vesions convet the best.Shoud I use buttons o text o myinks? red o bue? These vaiabesmake a dieence, and ony testingwi give you answes.So with a itte ne tuning, youanding ages shoud be eady toean you moe evenue – withinhous.
