So recently I've been thinking about getting some outsourcing done in the future to help me get some sales without a website (Don't know how to build one........at all.). I got to thinking and I came up with some ideas. I'll explain them and why I think they may be feasible and then ask for you guys to share your thoughts. Without further ado...: 1) Outsourcing Social Bookmarking writing and submission: Sites like Reddit, Digg, De.lici.ous, StumbleUpon, etc, all garner a massive amount of views. The way I see it is if I hire somebody who knows what he's doing to promote my Alturls/redirected domains on various bookmarking sites, I could get some traffic/sales. Now, alternatively, I could look for a site offering this service. The benefits would be that I could probably pay them via CC (don't have a verified paypal, so that limits my payment options somewhat), it'd take less time for them to get to work (since I wouldn't have to fund my LR, deposit it to another user and wait for them to start/send a check and wait for them to receive it.) sooner, but the charges would probably be higher. In the event I paid a DP poster to do this, I'd assure him he'd only have to work once payment was received. To protect myself, I'd ensure that he was neg repped, received negative Itrader, possibly post a thread about my experience and possibly post a thread about having my funds returned, though I doubt scamming would be an issue. There are plenty of well respected DP users who could do this w/o a second thought and it is only 20 bucks, so I doubt I'd be scammed, since it would hurt him more than me. 2) Having somebody with followers Tweet my URL: The benefits are obvious. If I find somebody who's got a lot of followers and I can get them to tweet my URL a few times for cheap, that offers a lot of exposure, traffic and (possibly) sales 3) Finding somebody with an established blog related to my niche and hiring him to write an article/review containing my AltUrl/Redirected Domain name: The reason this sounds tempting is because like somebody said in a thread here on DP, you can hire somebody who has all the potential in the world to article market, but nothing may come of it (That's not to say it's useless, or else so many article writing/submission services wouldn't exist). It may get little views and convert like crap. When you have somebody with an established traffic flow and who is knowledgable and generally well respected as it relates to his niche promoting your service, that increases the odds of sales or at least, the interest. I could probably pay the person around $15-20 4) Have an experienced youtube marketer create a watermarked video/videos containing the URLs to my affiliate offer(s). Youtube, DailyMotion, Veoh, etc, all get tons of views from people looking for a variety of things. If I find somebody who knows how to get views to his videos and who knows how to create compelling videos, I'm bound to benefit. One thing I am unsure of though is how much I should pay for said videos, though. So, how do you feel about them? Good, bad, in between? I'd like to know what you think so I can decide if these are jobs I do want to outsource, because I certainly don't want to waste my money on worthless methods. All I ask of you guys is that if you're going to post any thoughts, don't be rude. I'm trying to stick with it and coming up with ideas and constructive criticism helps more than being impolite. Thanks in advance for any input, Jordan. Edit.
Since I do video blogging on youtube, that would be my preferred route. If you can get someone on youtube with 10,000+ subscribes, and in a topic that is related to your site post a video for you, it will probably bring you long term targeted traffic. If you go the youtube route, look for publishers that have at least 10,000 - 15,000 subscribers. Any less then that and I think you would be wasting your time. The more subscribers a person has, the more views their video will receive right off the bat.
Here's what you need to do with those ideas... First of all, you NEED to have a web presence. You don't need to have any knowledge of building websites or anything like that. Here's how: First, go to https://www.blogger.com/start and get a free account set up. It's so easy to do. Once you have a blogging platform all you have to do is log in and start writing about what you want to promote. Since you have redirect links that you want to use, just post them on your blog. Build content. Content is king online. Rather than have people bookmark your redirect links directly...have them bookmark your blog.
