I'm simply overwhelmed with this. I recently launched a website that provides a particular service online. I'm not selling a product, I'm not doing any IM or affiliate stuff, no clickbacks, no blogging and so forth. I know there is a lot of info on here and elsewhere on this type of internet money making. I did a search and el mech's thread was somewhat relevant, but his focused on a local business. My business has no location, it is all online.
Roosh's twitter link on making money online led me to find out you can pay people on fiverr to do all this random shit to generate traffic to your website. However, I think searched here and people said doing that is basically SEO death and to not do it. So now I'm back to the beginning.
What are the best ways to let people know my website and, more specifically, my service exists? My target demographic is California as my service is not available elsewhere. Some ideas I've either had or heard of:
- Google adwords [worth it? don't know much about it]
- Somehow getting ranked by google high so people find me [how to do this?]
- Hire a PR firm to get an article put in the paper locally here about my business
- Radio advertising
- Print advertising
- TV advertising
- Ads on other internet sites
- Yelp
I already have a website designed and launched, complete with authorize.net payment structure, and it's a WordPress website. I just need customers. I am clueless on this front - don't know the difference between backlinks, click this bank that, automation, adwords, adsense, SEO, SEM...my head almost exploded just trying to figure out which subforum I should look at at this website. I think that this stuff is not what I'm looking for and/or need, but I could be dead wrong.
Any and all guidance is more than appreciated.
