Sneaker Deals GB (Affiliate marketing...)

I use Instagram as my main social however I question if that's wise as you can't click links ffs.

Also problem with Insta is knowing who's pages have genuine followers and not just bought ones.

I considered a lot of those pages over Christmas but then thought are you people really buying/leasing a car from a banter page? Plus what's the age and salary demographic, hmm... Can only see rate cards I guess...

[Mame Biram Diouf]

I wouldn't recommend using Instagram for your business TF

Trainers, phone cases, clothing etc. Yeah cool. But not cars.

Only good for brand awareness, ie maybe you post up pictures of cars from around the world.

I had an insta account with 6k followers, posted a link to a site (bio), only got about 60 clicks irrc after 20-25 posts.

For me the time you put in isn't worth it.

Again for your type of business I wouldn't even suggest running twitter or Facebook ads. I would focus on Google. 89% of searches take place through there.

No point wasting money on Facebook and Twitter ads

Yeah have an organic presence on those social platforms, but unless you are ranking high on Google for a lot of terms relevant for your business, imo it's a waste of time.

I would focus more on paid search and building your organic presence on Google than anything else if you are going to spend money digitally.

Id see what all your competitors are doing too, what keywords they are using, where they rank. What you can copy etc.

[TF S4DK]

I use Instagram cos it's the most FCA friendly. Twitter and it's 140 characters are a nightmare.

Well I'm in the process of deciding if I should try Google Adwords or like I said in the other thread ContractHire&Leasing.

I've tried improving the SEO aspects of my site too, but I can't say I 100% know what I'm doing...

this is all true and i suppose the banter pages wont suit his business

 

However if you can strike some kind of deal with some a list celebs in the dms in exchange for promo it can work, your telling me if a premiership football player posted a promotion post on his acc it wont convert to some sales?

 

theres no harm in creating a preset message and spammin every celeb and seeing if you get a reply and work from there

 

it works

[TF S4DK]

Any endorsements to a large following which attest to trust will 100% work.

I don't particularly think Premier League footballers is the best route for me to go however, as footballers and cars, work by different rules to the general public tbh but I hear you.

I don't really want to chase celebrity customers, just people who go to work or own a business, have clean credit and wanna save some p/get a better car for their money.

[Mr. Martinez]

Out of interest.

How did you lot that have business websites get one?

Make it yourself?

Pay someone? How much?

Wordpress? Other cms?

[Guest Blacksheet]

Outsourced £320 made on wordpress

[TF S4DK]

Paid someone for my first, which was the Thinking Forward website.

 

Built all others since, so just domain registration, think its 4 in total now.

[Mr. Martinez]

You do it yourself with Wordpress? Ie bought template and installed, etc?

[TF S4DK]

Nah never Wordpress, nothing wrong with it just never used. I've used BigCartel and Ning in the past.

[Mame Biram Diouf]

@TF I would be more than willing to help

But I'm only 6 months into my grad scheme. And this is my mentoring/development plan. So only get to spend about 30% of my time on it.

By summer I should be in a good place to give more accurate help though.

[TF S4DK]

On the SEO or advertising/traffic driving?

 

Although effectively all the same thing.

[Platinum50]

Been reading up on this for the past couple days

[TF S4DK]

Upped my daily spend and getting less actual engagements for sales so gonna reduce it back again later tonight. God I hate advertising right now, just wanna get busy and make sales.

[TF S4DK]

Google works (no shit I hear you cry), but I found its attracted a lot of time wasters for what I tried to concentrate it to do.

 

Spent about 4 bills... Might have to shout out the Indian man to do something cos PPC is not for me.

[Elementalism]

Looking to sell my sites, full functionality. Anyone with a Google Adsense account who wants to make some side money, holla.

 

Gonna start afresh.
