Peer to peer marketplace marketing

[Beaubeau]

Hey everyone

I am currently busy on my second project. My first one failed...
However, this time i am twice motivated to finish my goals.
It`s a marketplace that is based on a realestate niche on the european seacoast.
I have done my research and talked to a lot of owners of the houses. The majority was realy positive about my idea. They asked a lot of questions and seemed very intrested.
This is also the most important group of all. If i don`t have their trust and cooperation. Then my business will fail.

I am still busy coding the website, but in the meantime a have a landingpage with some info regarding how it works. People can presubscribe overthere with their email.

In total i have 4 subscribers for the moment. 3 of them are from my father in law, my girlfriend and me.
I have done a little facebookads 10 euro
Made a facebookpage
I made flyers and shared them in a few towns of my country.
Does anybody has any Tips they can share with me to get some my SUBSCIBERS?

thank you all

Sales (signups) happen when you get the right people to the right offer at the right time. (Check out thread "The biggest landing page mistake".)

Also... beware building stuff. (Check out thread "Stop building stuff".).

Have a look at sharetribe. Their blog is quite good, although a bit too academic for my liking.

Check out the call I had with @Scot too. Not a peer-to-peer marketplace but he was building a marketplace none-the-less.

Also check out thread "Spend your money on diesel and coffee".

Hello Andy

Nice finaly meeting you. I read and heared so much about you.
Regarding the build of the site, i am not doing this myself. I have an very friendly indian developer who does this for a cheap price. To give you a notion of the price. Less then 1 year of sharetribe.
I will check all the links you added above.

One more question. Do you think it is better to search for some promo girls, make some t-shirts and send them out to flyer.
Or do i better save the money for online marketing?

thanks in advance
