I think the best way is to contact those people who are advertising on other blogs in your niche. The fact that they are advertising there proves that they are willing to spend the money and they know much about direct advertising.
They will need very little convincing from your end especially if you have reasonable traffic on your site.
Very nicely written Ruchi..
infact Direct Advertisement is something which is set to grow by leaps and bounds as the blogging industry grows….
Nowadays more and more advertisers are also looking for Direct Ads but are not able to publish the same as the industry is still not mature…
Nice tips there. Never thought of using Google in such a manner to find direct advertisers who wish to spend money on ads on blogs.

These are all important tips which can help to find the resource to place the ads on our blog,Awesome write up…
Nice tips

These all work but it all boils down to being creative. It also involves knowing ‘who pays for what”. I mean not all advertisers are willing to spend money on a different smaller demographics so it pays to do a lil bit indepth research.
Great tips Ruchi.. Getting direct advertisement for your blog is important if blogging is your primary source of income.

All those tips really works to get direct advertisers. Analyzing other niche blogs to find advertisers is really simple and awesome because most blogger who are struggling to get direct advertisers daily visits their niche blogs but they might be missing every time this sense
Just want to add more as advertise page, contact page, use BSA and even contact advertisers directly that would really help too
