Making money by selling advertising space?

Hey Guys,
I read that selling advertising space to prospective advertisers is one of most effective to make money online. is that right?
I wonder if there is a required number of subscriber's size before we can start advertising space on our blogs or sites?

Like most anything, it could be... You have to have the traffic and quality clicks to met the supply. Need to have some good traffic skills.

The quality (convert to buyers or take action) needs to be there or you won't have repeat customers.

Not sure what you mean by subscribers. If you mean blog subscribers, that doesn't always mean much. It's the actual unique hits that counts. You could have 10,000 subscribers but if none of them come back to your blog on a regular basis, doesn't count for much.

No, it's not the most effective way to make money with your blogs. Yes you can make money but it's just not the "most effective way".

The number of subscribers doesn't matter, what matters is the number of visitors you get on your site.

But before you can sell advertising space to anyone. Find banners (preferably from affiliate products you're promoting or your own product banners) then place them on the blog and track how many clicks they get, impressions and how many sales you generate from those banners.

I think this is the best way to see if your blog is worth selling Ad placement or not. If you get good results from your test banners then to determine pricing go to the link below to check the pricing for sites in your niche.

Hope that helps.

Selling advert space on your blog can be very profiting if you have some big firm who are ready to pay for those space. but from what you said you may have a blog that has thousand of hits a day so why not apply for google adsense? because that's the main monetizing source of by blog today which is mainly a news and entertainment blog

It's one way to make money from your site. The thing is that your site has to be kind of established/be seen as a leader in the niche -- get a good amount of traffic. Since niches can be any size, the size of your list and stuff doesn't matter. The person contacting you just has to view it as worth it. With that said, if you two come to an agreement to work together but they don't see any better results than what they would normally get from doing stuff on their own, they aren't going to keep paying you. Oh, before you go adding stuff, it's a good idea to back up your site in case you start moving stuff around and mess something up.
