Top Blogs and Websites in Malaysia You Can Advertise On – Influencer Marketing in Malaysia

Influencer marketing is growing in Malaysia. As a business owner, you can leverage on the audience that influencers have built to raise awareness for your new business or drive sales to any promotional campaign you have planned.

One of the places you can advertise your business through influencers is through websites and blogs.

In this post, I will list some of the most popular websites and blogs you can advertise your business on. While not all of them will call themselves ‘influencers’, most will have enough influence to help your brand reach thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people.

But before that, let’s take a look some of the things you need to know before you start contacting the websites and blogs to advertise for your business.

Things You Need to Know About Advertising in Website and Blogs

Advertise in a relevant niche

It is best for you to choose a website which is the same as your niche. This means you need to study the audience of the website or blog before you work on an advertising with them. The last thing you want to do is to for example try to sell your beauty products on a tech site.

Be ready to pay for advertising

While you may want to give your influencers some free products or services in exchange for talking about your business, you need to also be prepared to pay for advertising.

This is especially true for websites with a larger amount of traffic. The more traffic they have, the more you will need to pay for a feature. The price for one piece can range anything from a few hundred to a few thousand to a few hundred thousand RM.

Be prepared for results not to expect

In the ideal situation, when you advertise, you will immediately get the results you want. But with any kind of advertising, with influencer marketing, you must be prepared to test.

Even a website’s popularity is not a guarantee of success. A website getting a lot of traffic does not necessarily mean you will get to achieve your business goals.

Work together with the website to craft content

While it can be tempting to want the influencer to do exactly what you want them to, it may be better for you to allow the website or blog owner to come up with the content on your behalf. The reason for this is because the website or blog owner would better understand what their audience best respond to.

Instead of preparing everything 100%, be prepared to work together with the influencer to build an advertising piece or campaign that can help you.

Have a call to action in your content

One of the biggest mistakes people make when advertising is that they do not put a goal in their advertising. While they may spend a lot of time building and pay for advertising, they may not have a practical enough call to action for them to do. This can include using a special promo code or using a special link to get a discount.

Have a way to track

Another mistake people make when they advertise is that they don’t have a way of tracking the effectiveness of each advertising method.

This is especially true when you are running advertising through a few different channels at once. How would you be able to tell which channel is most effective?

The way you can do this is by placing unique tracking links or promo codes for each advertising piece you do. This way you will which advertising piece worked better and do more of it.

Media

Media sites generally get the most views. But the audience tends not to be focused. I would recommend paying for an advertisement on media sites if what you are offering appeals to a mass audience.

If you have a very niche product, you may not see a very good ROI from advertising with media sites.
