I joined Bonanza in Mid-may, had one sale a week later, then signed up with Turbo – only few views a day. What is wrong here ? Can anybody give few tips please ?
Thanks!

I think of Bonanza as my own website. If i dont promote it, nobody will know I am here. My name is not “Ebay” or “Amazon” or “Etsy”, Anyone that sells online knows that most buyers will check out those places first, then if they dont find what they are looking for there, or want to see if they can find it for less, then they may google the item to see what comes up. That is when I hope my promotions pay off.

Have no idea what is wrong but I am convinced something is. I added the 19% advertising level with 4.1 million shoppers for a month or more and actually lost views. One or two trickled in every so many days. Pretty pathetic.
Removed the 19% advertising level last week and I am getting more views at 9% Basic level with 1.2 shoppers. Does not make much sense does it.

It could be a seasonal thing. People are out and about, traveling, spending too much on traveling, food and Disney World. They are only online to show where they are, what they are eating, visits with the grand kids and mom bootin’ scootin’ at Mickey Gilley’s. ;)

I was selling at least 1 or two items a day for the last 8 days. I Joined at the beginning of May this year. I sell toys and this is kinda slow season for me.
Than I jumped from 9% to 13% and now I am getting less views and no sales in 2 days. Previously I got 4 days of turbo traffic. Tons of views and no sales. If you want to be seen and sell nothing try Turbo!
I will give 13% a couple of more days and then going back to 9%. I wonder if the 13% option is best used when you have an account synced with eBay. Good luck!

I have pages for my booths on Facebook, still doesn’t reach many people. Of course not so many people sew anymore when it’s so cheap to go to Walmart or a thrift store. I sell a couple patterns a month usually. My other booth with collectibles & misc hasn’t made a sale in a year.

Honestly you don’t really need any extras on here & when I briefly changed the advertising level to slightly higher there was literally no change or increase in views at all it did nothing. Best bet is to continue listing as many items as possible with professional looking photos & do as much self promotion as possible. Best of luck to you!

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:

- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
