OK i want to start my own Penny Auction site. The problem is i don’t know where to start.
what would be the best way to go about this? i tried looking for ebooks(If you guys know of any please send me a link) that could help but i cant find anything. So any help will be appreciated.
I want to know things like
What kind of traffic i should get and where i can find it. seeing as i cannot afford to start with one customer you might just buy everything for 1c.
lots of high quality traffic is worthless if you can’t convert it. and that is particularly crucial considering the type of website the OP wants to launch.
Thus, you can’t single out SEO, you need to approach the whole thing holistically and write down a pretty comprehensive business and marketing plan.
You need to make a keyword plan. To get traffic for your website, the best is SEO, and improving keyword ranking in SE is the best way for SEO. A good ranking in Google can bring quality and a lot of traffic to your website.
Write a business plan, at some point there you should talk about your potential clients (and not traffic!), who they are, what they’re looking for, where they’re currently looking for it, and where else they might be receptive for a marketing message from you.
Obviously, there’s much more to writing a business plan than that, marketing is just one aspect there. I don’t have the time to go into that much detail right now, but I’m sure you’ll be able to find books on those topics, maybe not free, but at some point you’ve got to make some investment into your business to make it successful. If my memory serves me right, Sitepoint got a book on internet marketing. Though I’m reluctant to recommend a book that focuses on only internet marketing and doesn’t capture the whole essence of what marketing is really about.
