How to promote a new eCommerce/affiliate store?

**Deusdies** · 08-05-09

Hello everyone,

I apologize that my 2nd post is a desperate cry for help.

Anyway, I have recently launched a new website (CheapReviewSites.com - Buy Amazing Review Sites for $14). As it is my first eCommerce store, I'd really appreciate if you shared some tips, hints on how & where to promote it. Preferably free of charge.

Very much appreciated.

Hi

The 'Free of Charge' aspect of your post concerns me slightly....

If you plan to market an E commerce store you need a multi pronged approach. There is no magic bullet when it comes to making a sucess of your site.

To a greater or lesser degree cost will form a part of the overall campaign.

Try making a squidoo lens, a hub page, regarding your site.
You could also buy blog posts for as little as $5 per post from bloggers by using buyblogreviews. or approach bloggers directly and buy posts from them.

Run a competition to get a list of email addresses and start sending out deals to try to build a community feel.

This can be advertised free on a number of sites. All you need is a data capture form and a prize to send out.

You will not be able to promote the site fully without spending some money though. Have you thought about a PPC campaign?

I recommend that site owners go to facebook, twitter, or linkedin and start searching for their competitors and see what type of presence they are establishing.

There are all kinds of creative and fun ways to start twittering about what you do and who you are that will build bonds with you potential customer base and establish you as a leader in you industry. I think you need to have a genuine interest in building those bonds and putting yourself out there. And, heck, it might even result in a few more orders on you site.
