Hello,
Many of you will know me by now. If not, here's a quick run down. I'm 20-years-old, still live with my parents (thinking about moving out), and I am working on my YouTube Channel and a website service I created for competitive FIFA players (one that fills a need in the market). My YouTube channel is more of a hobby and slowlane business that I hope to turn fastlane very soon, I have almost 10k subscribers in 10 months (not bad, could be much better). And for the past three weeks, I have been contacting influencers in my industry who have YouTube channels to promote my site. Got a few responses where people loved the site and idea, but didn't promote it or contact me further. I have also run Facebook Ads, and spent about $30 of the $100 promotion I have running for the next 12 days, and I have garnered 491 website clicks, but no registrations or active users from it. I currently have 53 registered users, and obviously would love to make that number 2-5 million (FIFA community is HUGE)! I have been thinking about running google adwords, but have seen countless stories of nooby startup companies drowning themselves in debt because of clicks. My problem is, I'm not selling anything, so I'm not sure if Adwords would pay off for me. I'm still trying to learn how to drive more traffic to my site, and mostly working on organic trying to bring in more organic traffic to the site. I've also been promoting to my social media for free (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube), and that's where the organic viewership has come from (the first 53 registered users as well). Here's my website btw, for those wondering - FIFA 17 Ultimate Team, eSports, Player Profiles & Competitive Community
I need some help.
Most days, I get discouraged by the number of visitors to my site, and I often don't work on my site for 2-3 days in a row (I understand procrastination is a horrible habit that I'm trying to get rid of atm). How can I improve that? And how on god's green Earth do I approach this idea and EXECUTE to make my dreams a reality. Ideas are worthless without action, and I am currently in search for the key to unlock my door. Does anyone have any video/book recommendations on website traffic/getting registered users to a service or social media-type site?
Also when it comes to getting influencers to use and promote my site, how much money should I offer? How should I approach them? I trust the answers on this forum over the internet, but should no one have an answer for me, I will do more thorough research. I have currently sent emails to influencer without a dollar figure being offered, but asking them to contact me if interested, and then we will talk price (this could be my mistake right here).
And, is there anything I'm missing that I can do? Whether it's my mindset, mentality, approach, website design or usability. ANYTHING. Feel free to reply to this thread!
Thanks,
Shabeer
