New here, and looking for advice.

6 replies
Just want to introduce myself first. My name is Parker, and im 20 years old, and I live in Texas. Im new to the IM game, and im not trying to strike it big with affiliate marketing. Im creating my own products, but affiliate marketing would be a nice boost.

Im going to be entering the fitness niche, and yes I know its very competitive, but I believe I have some new things to offer the market.

In the works right now is a protein shaker cup, and yes there are tons of them, and they are practically free. I have a new design that has never been on the market though, and ultimately i would like for theme to be given away for free from the companies i plan to wholesale to. The problem is that the molds for the cup are going to be thousands of dollars. I should be getting a quote very soon, but I still expect them to possibly be upwards of 50k I dont have that kind of money though so im looking into crowdfuning like kickstarter, indiegogo etc.

So I have a site thats almost finished that im going to be collecting emails from to notify people when the product is ready on kickstarter. At less than 10$ a cup and a conversion rate likely to be less than 5% it looks like im going to be needing traffic well into the hundreds of thousands to get the possible conversions I need.

Now also in the works is a fitness app. Very simple to make, provides value considering its function, and its free. Looks like it could be a great lead magnet, and possibly drive traffic to my shaker cup website. I could also run affiliate offers etc on the app or have in app purchases to generate a little extra revenue.

So my big hangup right now is traffic, and im either going to need tons of traffic, or conversion rates that are much higher.

Right now I have instagram bots running instagram accounts, and will be moving to twitter soon. I also have a script running on addmefast so I can expand my social media reach a little quicker as well. Im going to be targeting lots of social media because its free traffic for the most part, and my budget right now is very little. Im also working on building a youtube presence so I can have a little extra reach.

So my big question is how would you drive tons of real traffic to a site in a relatively short timespan on a limited budget? I would be really grateful for any advice. Also should i maybe try monetizing to expand my budget? Maybe more bots etc?

    I can see that you have not had any replies to your post. Has anything changed between your original post and the current date. I am not an expert, so lets get that out the way. However I am intrigued by the post and would like to know the outcome or if you have had any breakthroughs. tx.

    I can see your into some really big Ideas!!

    I have high hopes for you bro, what you need to do is get social media marketing experts to help you out, invest $5-10 into social media promoters on facebook and instagram as well as twitter

    Go to either Odesk or Elance and hire a proffessional marketer ASAP

    Those are your weapons for attack
