I hope the $100 Amazon answering challenge (to a funny story) and the
holiday
shipping cost calendar gadget can bring us the traffic.
I will report back the process we are going weekly here. |

发帖数: 998 | 3 Yes, AD will be the way for now.
And I partnered with a shipping company. They said that they will support it
if I got a lot of traffic so the money revenue is not a problem for now. I
just need get a lot of good traffics. |

发帖数: 20742 | 4 乍一看不错，仔细看看原来都是收集来的module... ad我看不是方向，应该用
sponsorship, 比如ups or fedex or something else. 还有一个大问题就是
怎么搞repeat traffic? 那几个calculator乍一看也不错，但是有2个问题:
对ebiz的医生来说，standard rate没啥意义，大家都有discount, 另外signature
也没有设定option.. 再有就是我老发wii的，standard uline box, 来用一次
calculator估计也就不会再来了。

发帖数: 998 | 5 haha.. I think that I need invite you to join my advisory board ;-). These
are
really good suggestions. I will hire a freelancer to add functions into
those
tools, including those discount options.
BTW, could you add a URL link in mitbbs?

发帖数: 998 | 8 yes, we clarified that we will rely on sponsorship.
we have 11% repeated traffic so far and is continually adding/upgrading
shipping tools (including self-development).
we reached 1000 visitors in first 3 days. and I think my 10K visitors in
first
month is pretty doable now, which will give me 2nd round funding.

发帖数: 998 | 10 well, you always need to start first step and grow from there. For me, it
is more about a marketing experiment than getting rich from it. The site
will not become 2nd facebook but has potential to become a steady small-mid
size web site, which is enough for our sponsors. |
