How do they market a new website?

Q. Such as facebook, YouTube, Twitter, ebay, ect...

If you have a new website such as those above you don't have any data base of people so imagine facebook just lunched its website, you enter the site and you will find a couple of persons (most probably the engineers and their families there.

I guess you will not add your Profile right.

How come now these sites have thousands of members.

What is the marketing strategy.

A. Those were all press worthy innovations which received free publicity through news reports.

Site flippers building up more conventional forum sites habe been known to employ shady tactics like paid participants and scrapped content from other forums to 'seed' their site with activity, resulting in quickly inflated ranking and resale value.

(It's tough getting a forum off the ground, no one wants to be the first member)

What's the easiest way to market to an entire college campus?

Q. I am starting a business where I would like to reach every college-going student on a particular campus. Is there a mailing list that I can get a hold of, or do colleges usually keep that private? Again, I would like a marketing strategy that reaches nearly every student on campus. Posters and flyers in the school's library, cafeteria, etc., just won't do.

Thanks for your help!

A. Put up flyers on bulletion boards on campus.
Myspace and facebook.
Ask for the master email list

Does anybody know anything about Facebook marketing?

Q. I signed up for Facebook about 4 months ago as I have read that Facebook marketing is a great way to make money from your websites, but I don't see how it works. How do I market on Facebook without spamming my so-called friends?

A. Making money from Facebook marketing is a total myth. Social media is so hyped up right now, but it does not work as well as if you do the basics that people have been doing for so many years. Think about all the marketing gurus that have made millions of dollars before Facebook and Twitter was even around. How did they do it? They did such things as link building, article marketing, and implemented SEO the proper way on their website. I don't advise you to waste your time trying to make money with Facebook marketing. Instead focus on the marketing basics and fundamentals.

If you do want to be on Facebook, it can be a way to make friends in the industry and learn from them, but do you think your so-called friends are going to buy your products or services when they are most likely selling the same thing as you?
