How to promote a website

First off im sorry you bought that but its already done I would advise you to get a refund but if you cant let me see if I can help you the first thing you would want to do and I would do it in this order is I would find a company who would submit my website to search engines this is usually pretty cheap and theyll turn it in to hundreds every month so now your listed but you need to build your ranking you should do some blogging not only does it add more links to your site which helps your ranking but it lets people know your there then you can do some pop unders oh no did he just say pop unders yes and let me tell you why if you search you can find them for really cheap for a massive amount of them like a million for 30 bucks now out of that million 90% are going to see that annoying pop under and just click out of it but about 10% give or take will actually look at your site who knows you might even sell two or three things but you keep on every month it adds up and MAKE SURE you get every ones email address dont bug the crap out of them but when you have specials you can let them know and you also need to use google ad words and be very specific and use microsoft ad words at least for 3 mos because if you look hard enough you will find great coupons for them all over the net so basically you can get that 3 mos free thats about it hope I helped

First dont fall for anything that promises you massive traffic for a small price...good traffic isnt cheap..thats why products costs alot..not inventory but advertising. you can blog, do ezines, post of forums. You could buy email marketing but be careful cause dropshipdesigns webpages will suspend hits and display ' unavailable serving a lot of shoppers page' if you have more than 500 hits an hour. it happens all the time to me. while they are usually helpful with problems this is one thing they haven't worked on. my guess is thats the max go daddy can host on subaccounts.

the best way to get real traffic with real buyers is pay per click. first off youll think of adwords but be careful you could pay double for certain works with 5x the competition you would have on yahoo or msn adwords. if you go carelessly adding ppc campaigns you could be in debts 100s in a matter of a day or two.

you could try out ppc wth yahoo marketing cause they offer free 50 or 75 or 100$ worth of clicks. dont go thinking your going to sell off plasmas and ipods and big ticket tems youll make 100s of. I sell lots of their products but in 3 years ive never sold anything like that. they are usually smaller oddball things you wouldnt even think to advertise. stick with specifc items and specifc keywords to keep your cost down to 1-10 cents a clck. f you go for plasma tvs and ipods you could pay as much as .50-$2 a click an dmake no sales. there is a learning curve but if you follow these rules you can save a ton of money.

to get page rank you can try free pr websites. write a press release or about a product offered. its not a waste of money just alot of people dont knowhow to market websites or realize that it costs alot of money to make money.

its like yes top salehoo affiliates cna pull in 10 or 15 grand a month but they are spending 5 or 10 grand on ppc to get that. theres so good tips on advertising and places to do it for low cost or free under the salehoo affiliate page. would follow that as a guide

I don't know if this will help - I didn't find dropshipdesign to be a scam, but I also didn't make any money off of the products for ebay sales.

That being said, I didn't have the website package - just had the wholesale account (old plan) with the intent of ebay sales.

I think there are some posts about other people's experiences on this board.

Any worthwhile website can make money if you learn the ways of promoting it!

No not all of them Megagoods for example is not and some of the smaller ones you have probably never heard of but heres what I am saying they are not real 'wholesalers' they are just middle men .Most true dropshippers are just a company who sells a few specific items and as a courtesy to you they will send it wherever you want. Most places that offer a million things are one of two things scammers or middlemen. Yes you may make some sales ,but If your going to truly succeed and make some real money that is not how to do it you need to buy Wholesale in bulk it is a pure numbers game after that lets say for example> on your website there you can get a video game for twenty dollars now if you buy it in bulk you can get that same game for five dollars and also How many thousands of people do you think has one of those websites?And are listing those products on ebay right now ?It could be millions .Im sorry to say this but if I was you I would try to get a refund and build my own website and buy wholesale and make some real money.

Dropship design is an ok company but i did not buy the website for thier products i bought it so i can post my own products that what i like about it I make more money selling my own products than sellling theirs and i do not have to give them anything for it.
