$1000 Promotion Budget _ What would you do with it ?
 

OK this should make for some interesting responses lol...

But let's say your a little company (that would be us) and you only had $1000 to spend on advertising/promotions... how would you best spend the money ? On what ?

And yeah I know $1000 dont buy you shit nowadays... but we have to start somewhere right, this hopefully is the first step :thumbsup

On short term I would buy plugs on sites with good ranks in serps (to be sure you got quality traffic - much cheaper than to buy directly from google)
On long term: i would invest in seo.

I would buy 5 of those cheap hosting accounts (like 3 or 4 dollars a month if you pay for 3 years) put two wp blogs in each and pay the rest of the money and some monthly fixed ammount(doesn't have to be much) to a guy like me, who would build those blogs handwritten style and program them for 3 years with links to your sites in each post.

In a year, you will rank for whatever term you want.

And if you have more budget, i can build even a bigger and powerfull network.

are you looking to sell content or promote paysites?

yea what are you promoting?

if you are trying to get surfers to your site

deposit that 1k with adxpansion and use their april promo and have it doubled to 2k

i would buy that lolipop in your avatar

don't invest... just do your own seo... maybe if google will ever be normal again... it will pay off

buy my sig :)

Sign up for Chaturbate and promote the Ariel Rebel show tonight!
Shameless plug in sig

Oops...
 

Sorry should of been more specific... this would be to promote our www.GirlieCash.com program... not our content sales... :thumbsup

and again , take my sig TC , hit me up

I wouldn't spend it. My feeling is that it would just be a waste. I say this because you don't quite know what to spend it on. If you have a good system in place that you knew produced results and was profitable, that is where you should invest the money. Until you have a system like that, save your marketing money and instead spend some time learning and testing out various promotional ideas that you may have. You'll find one that works, then you can scale.

Serious reply?

Talk to DamianJ and ask his advice...

Hey
 

I dont doubt there would be some benefit to taking your sig and the exposure it may give us... but I am looking at more direct ways to get people to my sites... surfers as opposed to webmasters...

:thumbsup

Depends on the product the best venue for you. there is no 100% right answer. i would small test on matching niches to start.

Skin GFY. Really.

Not sure just $1K would buy a skin here, though if you can stretch the budget a tad, GFY might offer a skin run for an abbreviated period, such as 72 hours ... anyways, it's worth a shot.

On a related note, be sure the ad links work in all major browsers, including smartphones, before the skin goes live to avoid the non-clickable ad problems that plagued Find&Try's skin campaign.

buy some targeted traffic I don't know buy booze

Hey
 

Hey... I believe the product is nearly there, we are making some additions/tweaks to it, and we certainly wouldnt spend any monies on it till we was totally happy with everything...

However the sites are converting pretty well for other people, even if with a very limited amount of traffic going through the sites...

So I really do think once every thing is in place, we need to dip our toes in the water and see if we can generate a return on our low budget and step it up...

We have been thinking about things like email blasts, buying ad space, buying traffic... ect ect... But wanted to explore other people's ideas :winkwink:

Hmmm...
 

Skinning GFY IMO is for ballers with much bigger budgets... I am looking to target surfers, I understand the benefits of skinning GFY but that's not what we're looking for... but thanks for taking the time to post :thumbsup

Bed Time
 

Right off to bed... if any one else wants to chip in with any info feel free... :winkwink:

What do you charge for doing that email in sig

Buy stock in AAPL, wait a few weeks, sell stock, use bigger budget :-)

What is your goal?

start a blog network, dominate the serps for your specific terms, sites and girls.

Yup. Build internal traffic sources. The programs thriving most today all drive traffic to their paysites themselves in addition to relying on affiliates.

rent a cheap studio apt, buy a cheap used pc, some ikea doodads, a logitech9000, and put your first girl to work on camsites

contest for affiliates ;)

This sounds like you are targeting webmasters:

"Sorry should of been more specific... this would be to promote our www.GirlieCash.com program."

And that contradicts this:

"I am looking to target surfers,"

Which do you want? Affiliates or surfers?

I would buy best adult traffic, at rate around ~ 3$ (per 1k traffic) @ Traffic shop, you get 333k visitors, plus discount on such order, it could go up to 400k visitors!

Hey Justin...
 

Hey Justin... of course your right... I am not doing a good job of explaining myself here lol... When I said www.GirlieCash.com I meant the sites within that program...

I am looking at generating sales to those sites... sites like www.cuntmunchers.com www.bratsluts.com www.staceyrocks.com ect ect...

I am looking at what I do with the $1000 to be measurable... so I know what return I get, I am hoping that the $1000 grows, and allows me to have a bigger budget the following month, and so on... I know it's not a massive budget but have to start somewhere...

I like the sound of this... it's something I have been thinking about... I will probably start a seperate thread looking into this option :thumbsup

You don't happen to have a list of a few of these off the top of your head by any chance do you?

Apologies for hijacking your thread, but I did just sign up for your program. I have a little bit of traffic that might work for this if I start swapping out others that don't do so well.

Hey
 

Hey dude it's fine... the thread is all about people exploring ideas for this... and if it got me you as an affiliate then that's a bonus :)

Depending on your traffic the best converting sites right now are www.CuntMunchers.com www.BratSluts.com and www.StaceyRocks.com :winkwink:

I picked two out of four. Will add Stacey. How is teen ambitions and Girlies Pass? Just using banners right now anyway, but might be swapping out posts in blogs that were going to other sponsors soon

Hey
 

Teen Ambitions does ok... Brat Sluts better as it's obviously naughtier content :winkwink:

Girlie Pass literally gets no traffic at the moment, we're probably the most under promoted program out there... which for you is obviously a good thing lol :thumbsup

Test a Plug campaign on plugrush. You'll quickly figure out if it's cost efficient for your program. With some good thumbs you can get great value for your money.

Hey
 

I will be sure to check it out... we're probably not going to put all our eggs in one basket... so hopefully we can try a few things out :thumbsup

Last Bump...
 

Ok one last bump just to see if we missed anyone :winkwink:

wait... since yesterday.. do NOT do SEO, g00gle will fuck you bareback for it...
