Recommended Posts

I don't reallly get what you mean by market. Do you mean promotion or acually selling things?

Just look where Microsoft are at, they were the first to market "a specific product" which made them successful. I quoted "a specific product" as the rights to whether it was their product is unknown, and it's likely it will never be unfolded as it's quite sketchy back in those times.

 

Well considering you're not the first to market your web site, then you're really looking at competing with what's out there.

 

To be honest the best way is to have something that no one else has, and to tell people of the site, and hopefully word of mouth becames your stronghold in marketing, so it's got to be impressive and only good replies come out of it.

 

You can't really put a "cost effectiveness" on it, if this is one of your sources for income you have to work out potentially what you'll get back, put a value to the unforeseeable future and Live life to the fullest! (all work and no play, is not a future).

 

Now this can give business nightmares, small business usually opt for static pages that they can create or get others to create for them, now depending on the professional look, expected content to find, determines whether the page will fade from existance, although your reputation will draw a few noisey people to it, others may not even have time to look at sites or even use a computer, you will find a lot like that. You still need to market it though for it to really be successful.

 

If you're in business, you have to actually act like you are, or else the government comes down on you. Well over here they would, other places may slightly differ.

 

What I'm saying is, like a business you want to be noticed, for your sake and the governments sake. It usually requires you to have your business details on every source of your documents you send out to people, which is usually why a lot of companies get "custom printed stationery" for their company's use.

 

This should not be different from trying to get your website noticed. Everywhere you can put your web address, you should, every correspondence you send out, should have it on it. Try to find your target audience, those who will probably find some use out of your site, although try to target all and not just the main audience.

 

To me new ideas or ways of doing things is a key factor, I have many ideas yet creating it is my only drawback, although the options are boundless I have to find the way or make the way and actually find the time to do so. This might be a reason why I take other people's ideas and make them beneficial for my own use, as it is quite a lot of work reinventing.

 

Cheers,

Web rings make an excellent cross-promotional tool. You could also register with search engines. There are things you can do to make your site more visible to searches - some that cost some that don't but your best bet is probably to gather as much info as possible and determine your needs vs. wants and make your decision from there.

No doubt, As pointed by MC, Word of mouth is indeed the best Marketting tool. But it needs one company to hold a good reputation. One must try to achieve max. possible customer satisfaction.

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ is supposed to be the best PPC (pay per click) search engine out there. it's not free hence the name PPC which means whover searches for what ur website specializes in, and they click the link that goes to ur site, then u'd have to pay for that click. since ur not the only website in that category, the more people pay the higher it is on the list. *secret from meeting in LA* if u call overture and ask that whoever pays higher than you doesnt get higher than you, they would happily do it :)
