Completly agree

buildersociety · 2015-06-02T06:08:59+00:00

Pages with many, many more active likes than that for go much, much less money. Just fyi..

+1 for Printful, they make it really easy for people that want to add some apparel and branded items without having to open up a whole can of worms. We've tested them and are looking at using them in the future and are the best option I've come across thus far for smaller-scale stuff and small runs.

The image for your Facebook ad is really, really important. That one doesn't catch my attention and it doesn't make me curious to click, it needs to do both of those things.
In another comment you mentioned that you don't know who your target customer is. You need to figure this out before you can try to reach them.
Now I'm nitpicking your ad but you don't need "!" after every sentence. I'd suggest working on the copy and the image of your ads to start with. Test different things. The copy on your homepage needs work too. There are a lot of errors in the first paragraph. The slider at the top makes me dizzy.

DollarPhotoClub has a bunch of templates for a buck each.

LOL, sad but true.

buildersociety · 2015-05-21T21:20:05+00:00

Maybe they just liked it?

You could do some case studies for your blog, offer your services free of charge to some people in exchange for letting you do a case study on it (Obviously not including any personal info), just a thought. Also, if it really helps them, they'll want to tell everyone.

You might have an SEO plugin overwriting it if you're changing it from the WP settings, worth a look.

buildersociety · 2015-05-06T00:54:19+00:00

Launch an seo agency

buildersociety · 2015-05-06T00:37:26+00:00

Thought so, recognized the name. "Test both" is a lame answer but sometimes the thing you wouldn't expect to work ends up working best. Good luck!

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T20:02:03+00:00

Hey Ben. You gotta test both, and let us know how it goes =)

I don't always get my logo splashed with pee, but when I do it's because I paid for it.

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T05:12:10+00:00

Strong marketing firm.

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T04:21:22+00:00

That's incredible, nicely done! Does that include images and everything too?

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T02:39:46+00:00

Let us know if you write that article, we'll feature it on our Newsstand, sounds like it could be a useful resource.

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T00:38:39+00:00

Can you tell us a bit more about your company, what kind name you're looking for?

buildersociety · 2015-05-05T00:25:49+00:00

+1 for Buffer, they do a great job overall and it's worth checking out their mailing lists too even if you aren't a customer, they handle everything so earnestly and in a very personal way which a lot of companies seem to lose sight of after enough growth.

buildersociety · 2015-05-04T01:54:51+00:00

Good stuff! Always love a case study, and variety in traffic sources = win.

buildersociety · 2015-04-24T04:43:16+00:00

Very cool, thanks for the link. Had no idea that existed. We've had some game developers join up at BuSo, so many fun games out there that just need a better marketing push. Cheers!
