How to get traffic to your blog or ebay ad? - Bakerskater23 - 04-28-2014 10:36 AM
Ok so I am selling an ebook about jailbreaking ios 7 on ebay for 1 $ and have sold 4 this week. (I know it's unofficial but I'm 16 and from malta so I can't sell on amazon kindle from here :/, I even have to use my mom's account and paypal adress "an agreement was made" ) I also copied the html code used for the ad and made a blog with it to promote it (made some slight adjustments) Anyways 90% of the traffic I got was from wikipedia which patched my edited link after less than 2 days.
How do I market the blog better ? I tried putting out other blogs and linking them to the page with the same keyword but nothing's happening, SEO is confusing and I don't think that paid advertising is worthed for this.
Here are the links
ebay listing :

promotion blog : http://jailbreak-your-ipod-ipad-iphone-ios7.blogspot.com/

One more thing, if you think there's potential to sell more of the ebooks on amazon for a higher price, I can email you the ebook, the ebay ad html code, the blog html and will shut down mine for 40$. (might as well try.)

There appears to be plenty of free online guides as well, that is too low a sale price to justify the effort required to increase traffic, it's probably worth offering the same thing on Fiverr.com where you earn $4 less payment processing fees, perhaps you can offer limited followup support.

I recommend you using this software - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXzZMRxhn98&feature=em-upload_owner, it has the software link in the description and it tells why the software is good and all and some of it's features, this software should help you boost your profits to your business but I recommend you make a website for your business first then use the video to draw traffic to your website then use the website to draw business to you
