Good afternoon everyone. Im new here and was wanting get some advise. I created a project in my home town where I created a home pick up service for recycled materials. I would buy the recycled materials 50 cents on the dollar and resell them to the recyclers here locally. I would advertise at the recyclers and they would hand out my fliers etc. It cut down on there store front traffic and they still got all of the recycled goods. I started making several hundred dollars a day doing this.

Fast Forward to present. So I created a webhosting site kindof like wix where other people could sign up, receive a domain advertising their personal site niche site in their local area. Ive come to realize that I dont know much about marketing. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

    Resist the urge to spend money on marketing products, courses, and services . . . until you know what you are doing and can intelligently sift through the useless junk to get to the good stuff.

    Spend time using the search function here at the WF to learn about subjects that interest you and business models that make sense for your situation.

    Begin building an email subscriber list of people in your niche. Treat them well and respect their desire for paid products (don't hammer the list with affiliate products or your own).

    Most important at the beginning of your career is to understand how you can best serve your audience. Find out their problems, concerns, desires and wants. Then you will be in a position to help them and be paid for it.

    Test and track your marketing efforts - don't assume you always know what works best - the sales you have will verify what the audience wants.

    Be honest, helpful, sincere, and don't take yourself too seriously - have fun with what you do.

    Welcome to the forum . . . and the very best to you,

    Steve
