If they actually understand those "buzzwords" that is craaaaaaazy cheap. Which I typically deem cause for concern. Nigel
That marketer has a 55% returning customer rate (which is key indicator we look at) on elance. Like you said...alot of buzzwords but person claims average conversation rates of about 3%. The $500 does not include what is actually paid to google or bing for advertising. This person is also offering $300 dollar credit for google adwords for new google account. This is our first time spending for advertising so we just wanted to run this past few of you.
Oh well the adwords credit makes that a bit nicer as it would offset almost a month of his fees anyway. I suppose it depends where they are as well. Cash wise its not a bad deal at all I just get a tad skeptical when I see such low figures but actually doing that level of work. I will proffer this though, that is a lot of telling you to do things, I don't see much actionable stuff in that list. You may not even require adwords for instance. If you can let me know what you are doing here, I would largely do that for free if I happened upon the thread. With that said, I don't see much of an issue here really. Nigel
Its for 100% natural cosmetic company. So far social media sites have been build and now looking to start paid advertising. I could tell you which our keywords are in private.
You really need to know how success this company is before investing $500 per month. How many months on average before you see a higher return than what you are outlaying. You have to consider the return on your investment.
