Classifieds Warriors

Hi all wanting to put together a bit of an international master mind group for anyone that currently owns a classifieds website or something similar where the main method of monetization is via paid listings or adverts from users.

Because of issues with competition and conflicts of interest, you do not have to share what it is you are doing or working on.

Im open to anything in terms of meetups. We could do locally based meetings, skype or G+, lets just see how much attention this gets first before we commit.

Please share this with others that you know have classified style sites.

Cheers!

    Let's share the URLs of our classifieds first, to make sure people meeting up are in same level.

      My site: www.OzGreyhoundSales.com.au

      still being developed, finishing touches coming and then will launch soon.

      Hope to have a few more soon.

      Your sites are nice. Built with Drupal I see, nice.

      Are they paying for themselves yet?

          Not sure mate. Mine is being custom built with everything I want.

          I personally would not recommend an off the shelf solution.

                I had a question for those with sites.

                When marketing do you target buyers, sellers or both?

                Yes I am monetizing , a storefront is a paid subscription. I'm almost at 1,000 members and when I get to that I will start charging to post. I'll probably loose half? but the ones I keep I can help better.

                  Store front is a good idea, im not monetizing as yet, also waiting for my 100th ad, but when I do it will be paid classified options, paid banner ads and a business directory listing offer for 12 months.

                  What are you using for the store front?

      My page is: Solo Ads (My thread, don't have it handy just search for hypnotic solo ads, should find me.)

      Niche is IM/MMO

      Looking to network, grow, and building up the nerve to create a WSO. I'm thinking of doing something on list building and email marketing, that kind of of thing, lead to coaching possibly.

      Oh, and I'm looking for a solo ad manager.... if you have any tips on finding someone I'd really appreciate that.

      I'm on skype Mon-Fri and a little on Saturdays. I love to JV with the right people or talk about psychology in marketing. In my old life I was a psychologist. I know alot of people and network with copy writers, other sellers, affiliate marketers, etc.

      So what's up with you guys/gals?

      Take good care,
      JP Bailey, MA

      Can appreciate you want more business as we all do, but please do not blatantly try to promote your services here.

      This thread/master mind group is about people running or starting classifieds websites and has nothing to do with posting in them or solo ads.

      Thank you.

      Thats a good looking site nonin.

      Your site look similar to Petes.

      That seems to be a fair few ads, are any of them bot posted?

      If not the conversion rate is definitely good.

      Are you monetizing yet?

      ===
      Im up to about 40-50 ads (bout 10-20 expired), main traffic from facebook, search and direct. Not going to monetize until I have done my second set of updates and until I have at least 10 new ads uploaded per day on average.

      Ranking first page in pos #4 for my main keyword.

      My main problem is having the time to work on it.
