Oh and I should mention those prizes were cash. Nothing motivates like money right? Apparently not :)

I just started running an adCenter campaign and will be advertising with a few Facebook developer oriented websites in the coming weeks. If I don’t get enough new converted users from the traffic I’ll be looking at some of these content services to see if my only posting are too little to attract new sign ups.

Just a little anecdote with my first attempt at promoting my forum fbappdevelopers.com I created a poll and then at the offical FB forums I issued a challenge that anybody that signed up and voted in the poll (a three minute investment tops) would get a chance to win 1 of 5 $20 prizes. Out of 3000 registered users I only had 2 takers!

Best of luck on your forum :)

I have to agree with CBB though:

“Building a successful online community is a completely different kettle of fish, though and I will be watching this case study with interest.”

I wish you luck too, but I can’t recommend STAYING AWAY from getmecontent enough. I hear it has changed hands recently so things may be different, but I attempted to use them in the summer and they didn’t follow my instructions, didn’t communicate well, and finally just stopped responding to me altogether and never finished the work that I paid for. (Pinaki, I hope you’re reading this).

I’ve been very pleased since with nodoubtmarketing.com - English is their first language and the articles are much higher quality.

Adie - Once again, I wish you luck. I would love nothing more than to see this succeed, and be a valuable case study for your readers. Your ecommerce site was a great success story - as you say, it taught you how to organise and build a website.

Hello Martin,

No I haven’t, but I have built a very successful eCommerce site to over 7Million a year. So I feel I know how to organise and build a site on the web.

I’m not saying this is going to be a success ethier, this is a Case Study to help others…

P.S Granted, they are Hugely competitive keywords but not impossible to compete against. Nothing is, as long as you stick with it and believe you can make a success of what you’re trying to achieve.
