I have an idea to promote classified website..comment your feedback

I have recently started a classified website targeted for Indian community, for this I thought an Idea, don’t know how this gonna help me in promoting my website to targeted audience, please suggest me or give me some inputs.

website: bharatlists ( since i am new this forum, I cannot add url :frowning: )
Targeted Country: India
Targeted Community: Real Estate Ad posting, Automobile sales(cars and two wheelers ads), Electronic Goods ( computers, Cameras, Mp3 players etc), Educational Services (Coaching Institutes, Home tutions, college admissions etc), Jobs( IT and Non IT) And Other services .

Plan: I did little research on some of my competitors websites and I observed that most of the ads are posted my Real estate Agents, Automibile Agents (like two wheeler dealers, user car dealers), Jobs consultancies.
I am planning to collect their phone numbers and send an invitation to visit my website and post a free ad, upon number of posts they add to my website I would like to give them a free phone recharge coupon of say 50 minutes talk time.

As per my knowledge 50 minutes talk time wont cost more than Rs.25, If I send say this invitation to 100 members , It cost me Rs.2500.

Based on the output I can also plan to put this idea for new visitors to invite their friends so that they can earn free coupons of phone recharge.

The reason I took phone recharge because, Indians spend most of their time on phone or movies.

Please give me some honest inputs before I execute this promotion.

Thanks in advance.

No feedback yet :(, It seems no one likes my idea.

It’s wise to do flyers and mail it out to businesses. As soon as you start making income on the classified website then you can start calling businesses to promote even further.

thanks for your valuable advice, I will work on it.
