If you want to promote a book, use the sales page as your target, or “landing” page. These people are NOT verified by me as good, effective or reliable, but I will test them and report back to you on results.
The first on the list, although not necessarily better than the others, is “pronomics”, which promises an interview on iHeart radio — you can listen for yourself to see if if meets your expectations, but the real test is, “did you sell any books???”.
The result of any sales campaign should be checkable by reviewing the increase in sales during the campaign.
If there were no sales, there are several possible answers, not the least of which is that somebody sent you a zillion bots.
Organic traffic is what you want and need, not numbers, so that wouldn’t be good.
Okay, so here’s another one you can check out, but again, be careful — I haven’t tested any of these folks yet.
This one, “blboss”, promises “natural traffic”, meaning no bots, but read the listing yourself, and decide, remembering that the best way to test these is to select a page which will result in actual sales, meaning a page where there’s a “buy” button or an “add to shopping cart” button.
Here is Melrock, an editor/author and tv script-writer — impressive, but can she get your book selling better? We shall see. Got $45 bucks to spare? That’s what I’d spend to find out if she’s got any traction at all with the book-buying public.
In the case of music tracks or some product to show for it, such as an original video game, or a stunningly amazing sci-fi book cover, or a totally compelling landing page design, you can tell if you got taken.
In the case of targeted human organic web traffic — pardon the word “organic” — there’s no way to determine what happened until you see some actual sales, or increase in your mailing list, or whatever you’re trying to achieve, and you’d better decide now, because you’re going to have to tell google what your aim is, for every campaign you launch.
Of course, if it’s later in the day, launch is long gone and it’s almost time for dinner. How the elephant got in my pajamas, I don’t know.
Listen, your guess is as good as mine. She looks okay at first glance, but the website leaves me unimpressed. I dunno what to think, except she seems okay if you don’t dig too deep.
I have no idea whether she can deliver views or sales or whatever, but I intend to give it a try at her asking price for this deal, which is $35, a price I can surely afford, and an amount I can safely lose, if I’m wrong.
Here’s an interesting offer from Sureka B, who will promote your book “among millions of readers” — if true, we have a large booklist for her to promote, if we see some sales.
If not, we find someone with different, more engaged and more targeted, traffic — at about the same price.
Hey, if this lead turns out to be a dud, please let me know soon, okay? I’m calculating that at least 35% of the offers will turn out badly — not pessimism, just playing the odds and, according to my figures, roughly 35% of everything is crud.
I know what Sturgeon said. We agree in principle, but not in percentages. I know the market, he knew how to write stories. 35% is the right number. Everything else is crap.
I’d say it’s shit, but shit is now not shit — it’s good, best of the best, the cat’s meow, dope. That’s a word that now means “really cool” — I wasn’t addressing you directly.
You have several choices there — for $5 bucks, she’ll get you out in front of 10,000,000 music fans. For $35 dollars, you can be heard by 50 million music lovers, and for $100, you can go the whole hog and reach a potential audience of 100 million musically inclined listeners, but you don’t know where they live or what they do — it might be USA, might not, I’m not terribly sure..
Given the high probability that this is an unrelated site, I’d maybe go $35 for 50 million and, if you see some ACTUAL SALES, another $35 a week or two later — that’s $70 bucks instead of $100, for the same audience — I did the math.
“I will send unlimited organic traffic to any site”, is the claim of this American marketing specialist. I’d take him up on it. He appears to have his stuff together, and his results are slow to build, so patience is required.
You need to take this traffic to some page where you can determine the results. If there’s a lot of traffic but zero sales, you have to assume it’s all bots, or that your landing page is a pile of doo-doo.
Fix the landing page, if necessary, and try again. No luck? Try another product, one you know sells very well, and see if there are any results.
If not, find another marketer — for whatever reason, this market pusher is not for you. Sometimes it’s the nature of the audience, and for that reason, you want targeted ad campaigns and promotions.
Ads you pay for. Promotions you pay for. Other than that, there is no real difference.
Dave, who lives and works in Portugal, promises at least 2,000 targeted USA visitors to your website within 14 days, which will cost you $40 bucks. Now, for $65 dollars, he will lead 4,000 actual people to your web page, and for $110, he will get everyone he knows to go to your website. No, I’m kidding. He’ll get at least 8,000 targeted visitors to your url, one way or another.
From Nigeria, is Baba Tunde Samson, a professional branding expert, web dev, smm specialist and digital marketing experience, says the information panel on her listing.
For a lousy $5 bucks, she’ll promote your link for 24 hours, and for an additional $25 — that comes to $30 bucks, I’ll do the math for you — she’ll hook you up with 4,000 visitors a day for 7 days. No idea what that translates to in terms of visitors to YOUR site, but that’s the deal, and for the whalloping sum of $75 dollars, you get to stay on that list for 30 days.
She speaks English fluently, French conversationally, German basics, and conversational Italian. You might find that helpful.
“I will drive niche related targeted traffic to your ebay, amazon, shopify stores”, he says. Real organic traffic is fine, let’s hope he’s telling the truth. Worth trying if you want to sell something like a $350 dollar painting or a $500 dollar piece of jewelry, or 99 of something that yields a big enough number to justify the trouble and extra expense.
You shouldn’t have to promote things on eBay from outside eBay, but sometimes you just have to, and those might be the times.
Rubert James of Oman says that he will promote and market your website, ebook, and any link on the social media user…etc.. and furthermore, he covers the planet.
Okay, let’s see his deal … it’s $50 bucks for the basic package, which promotes your link to “high quality traffic social site 10+ million social media users.
For $100 bucks, he’ll promote your link to the same high-quality people, but at 50 million users. Now for $175, he’ll take the money and split to Argentina.
No, I’m kidding. He’ll promote your link to 100+ million social media users, through google ads, it turns out.
I dunno. It’s pricey, so I’d start out small. Just see if he’s legit. Then, if you actually get some real results, go ahead and take the plunge.
Yesmin Sultana lives in Bangladesh, and with an M.A. in Social Science, is a designer and marketeer, and would like a chance to get your thing boosted on the internet.
She will promote and campaign your book, ebook, kindle book, music promotion and linkage, offering low-bounce organic traffic. She also designs flyers, posters, and such. I left open which gig you might like to check out, hence there are seven possible buttons from which to choose.
Her book promotion, the big number is $30, wow. With cost like this, even if you sell just three or four copies per promotion, you’re doing okay.
If you sell hundreds of books, lemme know. So far, I haven’t sold a single book with this plan.
Of course, I haven’t tried it yet.
That’s the bundle so far. I haven’t had a chance yet to check out any of the competitors to fiverr, some of which are said to have a classier group of folks, but what that really means, I don’t know.
More money?
Anyhow, if you decide to use this information, please let me know how things turned out, especially if there are any bad actors in this listing.
Again, I beg your indulgence — I have not yet had an opportunity to check these folks out, but I surely will, and when I do, I’ll make a blog and at least one video about it.
We’re working on a Capture the Flag mobile multiplayer android & iphone game. I hope you like it. There are a maximum of 10 players on the red team, 10 on the blue.
Have been plugging away at the New Improved Godd™ Particle — any day now. There’s a LOT yet to be done, so don’t hold yer breath!
Okay, back to programming.
See You At The Top!!!
