Hi Guys,
Its been years since I last posted and its been a slow and painful journey to get to this point! I have been grinding away ever since my first post although some might say floundering, theres been trials and errors, hustling that looked like a good idea but actually turned out to be a hinderance now that the results are to be seen, I've lost my way a few times and should of returned to the forum sooner, It sounds stupid but its easy to slip back to older habits yet a listen to MJ's book does a hell of a job of snapping you back!
Anyway to my problem/s.
I have built my own online prize competition company and I have released it to the world, after many hurdles and problems to overcome as well as learning everything from scratch. The site is currently live and has very little interest! which I guess is to be expected.
I am trying to learn Facebook ads by testing trying to hone in on my audience but am blasting through cash and have no results to show. I have done very little in the way of marketing (OK sorry I've done no marketing!) as I focused all my time on building my website, I am now where I am and trying to make my company visible.
I have made a few sales but believe until people see others purchasing tickets, that they will most likely hang fire?
I think my website could be improved but I just had to get launched as time is now critical.
I'm sure that the numbers I am reaching with my ads are no where near high enough but again I have not seen any conversions yet so cannot do a look alike audience. Im targeting Facebook Conversions, focused on sales. I did Traffic first and yes managed to send people to my site but have had no real interactions.
I am going to launch our best prize which is a car and use that for the marketing and ads as it looks well in images and I have put together some promo vids.
I need to get sales and quickly, what should be my main focus to aid this outcome?
What should my expectations be with Facebook ads I.e how much should I be spending to yield results? does anyone have any insights?
Does anyone know any useful threads that may help?
I have little time and am asking for help as I cant afford to waste any more time, I need to make sure my efforts are focused on the correct areas to aid the generation of sales.
I have looked at current available normal jobs, during this uncertain time and may be able to work a delivery job etc but do feel as I spend all my time working on my business that it would have a detrimental impact? We are again selling all unnecessary items on Ebay to free up any cash we can.
I feel we have enough ingredients to be successful? At this time I believe its a case of finding enough people to all get involved at the same time to get the ball rolling, provide social proof and history, reviews etc to aid conversions in the future and to build trust.
Im not sure if its the right thing to post my website here for viewing/ evaluating so I won't for now. as i'm not trying to plug my website. Just looking for advice.
Thanks in advance guys any help would be greatly appreciated!
