Ok i need some advice i started a fiverr style micro job website. im having trouble driving traffic. im sure sellers will post their items once they know about the site for an extra chance of sale/sales ive had only 1 sale and gained a $0.60 commission... i know its not a huge amount but i was happy to see that it actually does work and people are willing to buy. the question i got is if you owned this website... 1) what keyword/keywords would you target? 2) Gain more members? 3) would you do anything different to what im doing? (without spending any money) thank you in advance for your input!! http://bit.ly/tWwVGn
Ah the classic catch 22... you need more members to stay but they won't stay unless there are staying members. It's like you can't win. I tried this sort of thing before and had the same problem. At least with yours you're already offering some products so it can still be used one way. Then just keep promoting it (Press Releases and promoting in on relevant forums/sites), and you'll get more users. Once you have more users sooner or later some of them are going to become buyers, and then it will snowball onwards. The trick is to stay in long enough and promote it long enough for that to happen. That said your site looks great.
boy you said it!! its like once you break the barrier... your in!! its just getting there.. if this was any other site i would of given up but im determined to make it work!! thank you for your input though
