Advertise and Sponsor

with Yang-Sheng

Who are We?

We are an international network, a website, Yang-Sheng.com, and an e-magazine featuring ancient wisdom, modern research, clinical applications, and practical tips for mind-body exercise, spiritual cultivation, food as medicine, sexuality for healing and longevity, including articles written by over thirty columnists and other experts as well as daily inspiration for health, happiness and harmony.

Why advertise with us or become a sponsor of Yang-Sheng?

Although we are new in the field (initiated in February 2011), the precursor of Yang-Sheng, the Qi Dao e-journal, was founded in 2006, and has brought about 3,000+ subscribers to the Yang-Sheng network.  By March 2012 (one year later) Yang-Sheng website had 16,000+ unique visitors per month (total visitors over 130,000; up to 1250 unique visitors per day).  Our Facebook page has 3,400+ fans and 15,000+ active viewers per month.  In addition, about 10,000 unique visitors to read each issue of our flip-book version, and about 3,000 subscribers downloaded the PDF version of Yang-Sheng magazine each month to share with their friends and students (many of our readers are professional instructors of Qigong, Taiji, Yoga, Reiki and mindfulness meditation).  Approximately 70% of our visitors are from the USA, with the remainder primarily from Canada, Europe, East Asia, and Australia. Our audience consists predominately of practitioners of mind-body exercises (such as Qigong, Taiji, Yoga, reiki, mindfulness meditation, and other meditations), healthcare professionals who are interested in preventive medicine,  and people who are interested in taking care of themselves for health and happiness.

Yang-Sheng offers a unique platform to reach a special health-conscious population. We also offer a variety of advertising options to fit most budgets.

BECOME A YANG-SHENG SPONSOR

We are actively seeking sponsors who share our philosophy and vision. Sponsors of Yang-Sheng are showcased on our website, Yang-Sheng.com, in our e-magazine and in e-mail updates to our subscribers.  Sponsorship levels begin at $125 per month (for which sponsor receives a 2 column-inch ad on the sidebar of every page of our website and a small display ad in the e-magazine). Yang-Sheng functions under the umbrella of the non-profit World Institute for Self Healing (WISH); therefore, your sponsorship is tax deductible. The minimum time commitment for a sponsor is 6 months.

Yang-Sheng will help its sponsors to establish positive image, conduct survey or run special competition or event, and build up a mutually beneficial community for all….

The sidebar ad is available for $35 per column-inch per month (CPM) (210 x 100 pixels), and the footer for $30/CPM (180 x 200 pixels).

Bottom-line: you can spend as little as $30 to reach over 15,000 targeted customers.

To add display ads on the PDF version of the magazine: add $10 more per column inch. That is, $45 CPM for both web site and magazine display. All advertising rates listed here are introductory rates and are subject to change as our readers increase dramatically.  To take advantage of our introductory rate offer, you may purchase up to 12 months of display advertizing for the current rates; you will pay only the introductory rate, even if ad rates increase before your ads complete their run.
