What is the best way to use $2,500 to promote a new site?

libria — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 04:20:50 GMT

I have an affiliate site consisting of affiliate products like product catalogs. It's been about 1 month since my site went live. I have been reading articles and blogs about how to promote the site. Things I have read include SEO, starting blogs, using social media, article submission, link exchange, linkreferral, joining and participating relevant blogs and forums, doing giveaways, paid advertisement, answering questions at Yahoo answers etc. Some things cost more than others. Some things take more time than others. I have been working on some of them. I ran Google ads too mostly for testing purpose. Cost me about $60 and made one tiny commission. Even though I will probably have to wait a bit to see the full effect, it looks like I need to study hard to learn how to advertise if I want to do it again.

Let's say I have $2,500 that can be spent to promote the site (goal would be to bring targeted traffic and make commissions through those traffic). What do you think is the best way to spend this money? I guess it can be spent in one day, one week, one month, 10 months... It can be spent to do everything listed above or several of them or only one of them (for the ones that cost money). Or maybe it should be used on something completely different. I am focused and determined to make this affiliate site work and wondering what others would do.

What would be the most "powerful" way to spend this money? I feel it can bring great results if used wisely. What is your thoughts?

Happy Holidays!

Can't I hire a good site developer for $500?

libria — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:56:26 GMT

I have been trying to get my site up for about a month now. I hired 4 people through elance.com and oDesk.com to create Joomla site (not ecommerce but similar because there are product catalogs involved). They all failed to deliver what they promised. They missed the deadlines. Their quality was bad (not matching what was in their portfolios). They didn't include features I asked for etc. Yet they don't know how to say sorry. One of them asked for 50% upfront money and I lost it.

Frustrations after frustrations, I let go #4 developer yesterday and trying to figure out what is wrong. If $500 is too little, I can get rid of some pages and features to reduce the cost. But where and how can I find reliable and trustworthy developers? Why do they say one thing and do another? Can't find integrity anywhere...

As a startup, this is such a challenge. I can't afford to spend a few thousand dollars on creating website at this moment. So would I get only incapable and dishonest developers with $500 as people say you get what you pay for?

Does anybody have any tips and ideas? I am very so tired of those developers...

Sorry about negative posting and thanks for reading. Hope you all have a good day.

Electronic Authorization

mferreri — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:02:09 GMT

I am in the process of raising money to start a small manufacturing business here in the US. My plan is being finalized and I have a Non Disclosure agreement drawn up for my potential investors. I wish to post the NDA online on a secured and restricted website. From there the investor would be able to Acknowledge their agreement by clicking a box which would take them to an area where they can view the business plan. Electronic authorization goes on all the time, and I would think there is enough precedence out there that this is acceptable. What kind of back end coding of the site will we need to make this authorization binding? (i.e. name, timestamp, etc?)

Ah. The old

SEOpro — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:43:26 GMT

I think most people will agree with the assertion that the signature of this recession is, prospects don't have the money to spend on products or services. They either can't get credit like they used to, or their customers can't get credit like they used to. At any rate, the money's not available.
Your business offers real value. Your customers see the value you offer and desparately want to take advantage of it.

Rent versus Buy.
Have you ever lived in rented accomodation? I have, several times. We know when we rent, it's like "throwing away money", but we do it because it offers us flexibility to use our cash in different ways. We might have an excellent job, but we don't yet have the ability to put down a house deposit. Renting gives us flexibility.

Before this recession hit, I would offer to build websites for small to medium sized businesses. I'd usually get 20% or a third up front, and the rest of it upon delivery of the website. Prices ranged from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on the complexity of the requirement, and business was brisk.
Then the Recession came.
Businesses still desparately wanted what I had to offer -- perhaps even more so -- a website that drew prospects to my customer's business, but they simply did not have the cash. They were slashing costs everywhere in order to stay afloat. The cash just wasn't coming in like it used to, so capital expenditure was scaled right back.
If I didn't come up with a new business model, my leads would stop turning into customers.
And then it dawned on me. I would rent the website instead of sell it to my customer.
This solved the problem. The customer could afford the solution, because the cost was spread out way into the future. In a recession like this one, people are thinking quarter by quarter survival, not ten years into the future, so a website "rental" model was very attractive.

Advantages for the customer:

They get to spread the cost of the website across years.
They get to see the value of the website before they've paid much.
They have the option to walk away if it doesn't deliver results.
They see that the provider (me) has a lot of skin in the game, long after the website work is done.

Advantages for the supplier: (me)

The upfront cost barrier-to-a-customer-signing-up is removed, so closing a new customer deal is easier and more likely.
You have the opportunity to guarantee to your customer your solution will be satisfactory.
For as long as you keep your customer, you get a rental payments.
As you gather and secure more customers, your monthly rental income becomes more predictable.

So, how much can a website be "rented" for?
The deal I now offer my customers is very straighforward: 10% + 10% at the beginning and 2% per month for as long as they want the website.
So, if it is a $10,000 website, they pay $2k up front ($1k to get project started, $1k when we make the website public), then $200/month for as long as they see value coming from their website.
I ask for the 20% at the beginning because it is good for everyone to have at least some "skin in the game", and it helps me get by and at least pay some bills.
Still, it's not as lucrative in the short term as it was two years ago, but it is a real recession buster for both me and my customer. And if I believe what I tell my customer -- that their new website will deliver value for years to come -- then I am very clearly putting my money where my mouth is.

This model -- rent verus buy -- is more workable for smaller web solution providers, because we can be more flexible than larger companies.

If it is a choice between getting website rental income versus not getting a customer at all, the choice is obvious. From the supplier's point of view, Renting versus Selling wil cause a drop in income in the short term, yes, but it will keep you busy delivering customer value, it will help you stay in business. You will recoop your cost over time - perhaps even exceed the original list price for the website when the website continues to deliver value to the customer beyond 3 or 4 years.

I wish you the best of luck no matter what.
