    Hi all.

    I have a very unique and specific product - Animated HTML templates for facebook. My website is http://www.afbtemplates.com/
    The problem is that the product is unique and people do not know about it. That's why there is no demand. How can I promote my website? How to make a demand?

    Thanks

    I spent 20-30 seconds on your site, I don't know what it does for sure. Does this change a facebook page for everyone or just the person who has the template? I haven't seen a custom facebook page nor do I know how you would modify the code to show a custom page.

    The first thing I would do is make a more clear and concise sales pitch on the landing page. Show me a picture, a before and after.

    I sell templates for Facebook Fan Pages. They are html / css files which can be edited in any text editor. I am working on WordPress version right now. So people can manage content in admin panel

    Hmmm, I guess I've never seen one. Maybe I'm an idiot on it because I've never done a lot of marketing there. My specialty primarily relies in other areas. Without a doubt though, assuming you feel you have an awesome product, why don't you go to people like Shoemoney or other marketers that have a following in the marketing niche. Offer to build them a custom facebook page so long as they could create awareness of your product. It would require that you put some extra work in first, but it would definitely bring awareness up for those that are using facebook fan pages.

    I am not on Facebook much either. Is there a reason you are forcing people to like the page in order to see it in action?

    If it was me, I would think about giving some instances away to people with followings and see if it catches on.

    Let me give my views here....

    Your product is really Awesome & Unique. I spend around 20 minutes watching the animation & they were really cool.

    I visited your site & was waiting for the animation to start ... but then I realized I will have to click on Demo. The first change you need to do is the Animation Fan page on your website homepage should start automatically once a user lands on your page. This will make users understand what is your website selling.

    How to make it popular ?

    As your product is related to Facebook, the best way is to contact some big fan pages on fb & provide them your template for free/low cost & instead get your link placed below the Flash FB template you provide them. You can also ask them to post reviews/advertising about your product on their fan page which will result in millions of people viewing your product/website & thus making your product popular.

    Do remember to advertise your keyword too i.e. Animated HTML Fan Page

    Contact social networking blogs with huge traffic & request a review on your product on their blog. (You might have to pay them.)

    The above will target your market & people will come to know there are Animated HTML Fan Pages too.

    PM me in case you need any more help.

    Well if you really wanna spend money, you could try to buy advertising on Facebook itself, which would get people who are already on FB to see your product. Also, make sure that it is very clear on your site and everywhere else what exactly you do. People spend an average of 30 seconds on a web page before they decide whether to stay and invest or such or not. So in that 30 secs they should know every important thing about your service. Try to beef up your site also. Get backlinks for it and try to optimize keywords and such just to get some free organic traffic. Offer a fan page for it on FB and try to get the ball rolling. Once people get a likeing to what you do, they'll come in swarms.

    Tease potential customers with the value of your product, but don't let them have it! Then offer it to them reluctantly a week later.

    I think you need to craft your site's content wherein people can really. Stop talking very technical in your site. Instead let them know the benefits in a layman's term. Tell them how your product can solve their problem.
