Not a lot! Struggling with marketing at the moment. We are running multiple facebook ads and we are about to approach our local newspaper. Not sure what else to do. Google Ads?
I was one of the founders of itsadeal.com.au, we've since stopped about 6 months ago to pursue other ventures. I would strongly advise against a newspaper ad, we went down this path and for $500, this got us about 5 subscribers. Google ads work, but remember to tie them into something you can make money off. It's not smart to compete using keywords such as "daily deals" unless you have a sizeable budget. A better approach is to customize ads which sell your products and if you have something with a large margin you should be able to come out on top (more effort, but much better ROI).
I wouldn't be rushing to spend big on ads until the site was settled and smooth. If you can get a few niche products running at once and get some ads promoting that field, you might have some luck.
>I haven't made a sale yet and I am not sure why.
Is "14 OFFERS SOLD!" BS then? One small thing: the "what's hot" products on the right looked like third party ads. Maybe it's just me.
