INTERNET MARKETING

the website is called Casting News, Auditions, and other opportunities

Here is my marketing strategy so far :
Facebook groups - post everyday an article that is featured on my website onto at least 10 facebook groups.

Twitter - post every article posted on my website onto twitter, and start conversations, update events, and retweet a lot.

SEO- working hard to isolate certain words in the Articles, to promote SEO.a

Results:
I receive about 1,500 page views a day (stopped growing over the last two weeks)
250 search engine referrals
200 Facebook referrals
5 twitter referrals
(on average)
30 new subscribers a week (on average)

75 - mobile subscribers, 350 email subscribers, 1400 facebook like, and 2200 twitter followers.

If I continue to use this strategy, will I expect to grow?

*I have tried using other forums, but I usually get banned rather quickly*

Thank you for help!

Sounds like a pretty solid strategy, you could also add press releases to your marketing strategy, which will add more to your marketing strategy.

There are a lot of free press release sites out there, and if you can submit a paid press release all the better.

I definitely think you should use Youtube and PPC. Lots of people looking to be "stars"... you'll find alot of them when they search on terms like "movie star", "singing career", "acting", "auditions", etc.

Site looks great. Great use of the Gonzo theme. Having a little experience in the acting realm, I would definitely be interested in this site if it was still one of my priorities. I agree with the above comment. YouTube is where to find a lot of targeted traffic, watching videos with actors/actor interviews. The first thing you could do for free is simple comment on those videos.

  That is a good point. But, I thought they did not allow posting of links on youtube?
  
  What is an example of a good comment to leave on a youtube video?
  
  Also, where do I go to publish press releases?
  
  Thanks

You're actually getting a decent amount of traffic for it to be a relatively new site. I would continue to do what you are doing. Continue doing SEO for your site, blog commenting, forum commenting, etc

  thanks man for the advice. I just added google adsense and I have not made a lot of money so far.
  
  What do you guys average on google adsense? Also, I hear a lot about impression advertising or cpa advertising, any suggestions?
  
  Thanks

  This seems a really good strategy. I will also suggest you to keep posting in high pr articles sites as this is the main source for traffic.
  
  Thanks

Yes, you should do another SEO thing as above mentioned....video marketing, blog comment, ppc, forum commenting, etc.

But I would like to suggest you to do split testing to see the effectiveness of your website. Here a thread that can help more details in split testing:

Hope it's help

To get extra bang on twitter try seeing when you get the best response to posts by using Schedule Tweets for Maximum Impact - Timely by Demandforce. It will analyse your last 200 tweets and find when you get the best results. Then use these times to setup Buffer - A Smarter Way to Share on Social Media so that it isnt a constant stream. I'm pretty sure you should be able to feed it in.

You could also try to find some casting forums to join and do some posts there to drive traffic. Other than that, I must say that it looks like you have a good plan and have executed it well so far.

your plan is really wonderful. if you can make it,that will be better. and I think you can try other ways, such as email marketing, ppc, youtube, linkedin etc. The key point is how to make it effective for you.
