Hi /r/entreprenuer!
My name is Or, I'm from Israel. Exactly 3 months ago, I've started, together with my brother, an affiliate website that suppose to solve a problem we know a lot if Israeli face - very expensive prices for products you can get cheaper online worldwide (eBay and Amazon). I need your advise, fellow entrepreneurs, about marketing and getting more traffic to my website. Our website includes around 200 affiliated products, mostly from eBay and some from Amazon. The products are from varies categories, kind of "everything in one website". We collect the products manually, adding them to our website and showing the price online compared to retail price. This site is one of a kind in Israel and we have no competition, but I'm afraid we are just not able to create this new market of people who know to purchase online but doesn't know what.
Regarding marketing, This is was I've done so far: I have appeared on a local TV channel for about 3 minutes interview about the site, this got us a lot of traffic but only for 1 or 2 days, definitely not returning visitors. We also have a Facebook page which I post to every day or so about specific products or tips for smarter online shopping, but because of lack of motivation, I didn't post anything for the last months. In addition to that, I know that "content is king" (as geryvee likes to mention), so I wrote about 7-8 1000 word articles to educate people of online shopping and tips, but it seems that people don't get excited by them and they are not generating the traffic I imagined - so I stopped writing. I also tried some Facebook ads and dark-posts, they seem to get clicks but rarely that they generate income - so I stopped trying.
A new thing I'm trying to work on is creating weekly videos to share education materials about online shopping, to catch the eyes of Facebook visitors if they don't like to read the articles - this is in progress and no video was uploaded yet.
What else can I do to get more quality traffic? I've losing motivation because it seems things are not working for this project. Thanks in advance!
