Hello everyone, I wanted to know how to market this type of website:
Has daily contest that pays people. No questions asked, just answer correctly and get money.
The website also has information about each location.

Im only averaging about 80 - 150 hits a day. I want more!! :twisted:

Any ideas?
Been posting on blogger type website, today (tonight) im googling "ny forums" and gonna join there. Im on popular social networking sites.

Practical, testable plan that builds on ideas from and while giving concrete next steps.

Start by converting more of the traffic already coming to the site. Make payout proof obvious (redact sensitive data), shorten the entry flow, and add one clear call to action above the fold. Capture an email on first visit with a small, guaranteed sign-up reward so there is something to re-engage. Keep payouts simple (common rails like PayPal or gift cards) and list an FAQ and T&C that explain how winners are picked and paid.

Run cheap, measurable acquisition experiments. Try a referral program with trackable codes that rewards both referrer and referee. Pitch local blogs and micro-influencers with a winners-story angle. Spend small amounts on tightly targeted social/search ads to test creative and audience; use UTMs and treat each test as data, not a campaign. Cross-promotions with local businesses or themed content (daily winner highlights, leaderboard) create shareable hooks without large spend.

Protect the product and the bottom line. Add basic fraud controls: rate limits, unique email/phone verification, CAPTCHAs, device/IP anomaly detection, and manual review for suspicious wins. Publish clear rules, privacy policy and refund/payout policy. Legal and tax rules for paid contests vary by jurisdiction; get professional advice before scaling payouts.

Instrument everything and iterate. Track acquisition cost per paid winner, share rate, K-factor and retention. Run three parallel experiments for a week: referral incentive vs control, headline/CTA A/B, and a $50 micro ad to a single narrow audience. Use heatmaps/session replays to find UX leaks. Scale only when conversion and unit economics look repeatable.

Hi nysilly,

Sounds like a marketable idea! The first thing you might try is testing your website's social propensity. In other words, determine whether or not the idea is compelling enough for people to spread it on their own. The best litmus test that I use is stumbleupon.com. If you submit your site and it has a high social propensity [it get's lots of thumbs up], then stumbleupon will send even more traffic your way. The more people that see your site initially the better.
It can absolutely never hurt to hit the forums, but in the initial stages of a marketing campaign it's good to get the short-term visibility on social media sites as it drastically increases the odds that other people are going to build links for you.
Once again, it all depends on the social propensity of your idea/website.

Hope this helps - we wish you the best!
