Requesting a good advice on how to advertise a brand new website.
I've almost finished making the website but now I am facing two new problems.
The website is an online auction site
Here's the first of the two problems.
TradeMe has close to or over a million item listings
So far I have......none
Simply because I havn't yet told anyone about it.
If I start notifying my friends, I may be able to get few hundred items up.
But then I'm thinking...that is no where near enough for the site to have visitors
So I would like to ask the geekzone members for any good ideas which they may have.
Second problem I'm facing is advertising or marketing of the site.
I have a low budget for advertising.
Probably thinking somewhere around $2000 to $3000
My friend and I first thought of google keyword advertising.....
but then on second thought.....who would search in google with the keywords online auction, shopping sites, online trade etc when we already have trademe.
So I would like to ask the geekzone members for any good ideas for advertising a brand new website.
