What social media site works best for this place?
Upvote this question 0 Downvote this question

We all know we have to promote our hearts out here on Bonanza.

I’m on Twitter and Pinterest. Facebook didn’t work out for me.

1) have you gotten any sales from either Twitter or Pinterest? Am I wasting my time there?
2) what other sites are there to promote on? Tumblr? Instagram? Does any here use those plateforms?

to move up in google searches you need to have strong links…Twitter/pinterest linking back to your items provides those links that google uses to build reputation..as long as the links are good and don’t dead end..the more you have “ot there” the better your items/booth places in searches

I wouldn’t say you are wasting your time, but I certainly would just schedule a small time block to do the promoting and leave it at that. I promote on G+, Pinterest, Tumblr, Fancy, Keep, We Heart It, Facebook, Fashiolista and Instagram. And, am a member of a group that promotes each other. I tried Wanelo to no avail because it does not seem to play nice with Bonanza posts. None of it seemed to really do any good. Although, in honesty, after several years of promoting diligently everyday, I have basically given up. I want to see Bonanza advertisements on TV like the local selling sites are doing. It is frustrating to see OfferUP, LetGo and Close5 ads on TV and not see any Bonanza ads at all. The Buy Now button on Pinterest, Twitter and Tumblr would be fantastic, but I see using that button the most by Etsy sellers.

I agree, Bonanza needs to advertise a bit more on tv. When I’m talking with people about selling on line and mention Bonanza, they have NO idea this place exists. I’ve been here on and off for a couple years. Seem when I either open a new booth or come back after a short leave, I get sales, then after about 6 months, it just dies. So back and forth with Ebay. But with USPS prices going up, that means Ebay fees will go up as well. Unless I make everything free shipping and that eats into profits.
Thank you for your response. Much appreciated for being candid!
Thanks to ccmom as well!!
