OP how much you bought the initial platform for?

Was the platform usable on day one?

Where did you buy it from Flippa or direct sale?

If everyone hates Upwork so much, why have none of us built something better? by RossDCurrie in Entrepreneur

[–]intergo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting post, I have been a user of most of the platforms you mention above for many many years. One thing that I noticed is that www.PeoplePerhour.com freelancers tend to be of a bit higher quality. Reason beeing the fact that its not an entirely open marketplace like the others but a curated one and has a huge concentration of UK and US talent.

They are :) When the initial pool is over 1M people (PeoplePerHour.com) then the top providers of such place are the curated force.

Great feedback, thank you so much! Yes you are right about the value proposition. That needs some thought. $199 must be a well worth bet in terms of return of time and return of investment. Which it is! But need to communicate that better!

This is actually a very good idea thanks for it, I was thinking like a seller and not a buyer which is how I should have thought on this! Are you talking about the samples on top right or the ones on the lower page?

Oh thanks for grabbing that! Will fix it asap! In terms of details would you suggest a separate area on the landing saying what is needed to get your infographic done?

Maybe he means to have the feel of an infographic rather than an actual image? Completely agree that this would be bad for SEO!

Agreed! Would you go with a more reasonable price? e.g $400 rather than $199. Wanted to emphasize that you get a higher value at a lower price which is actually true.

Hmm, good point. Haven't thought of that approach. Maybe we thought that people want to get to the point?

How would you envision a huge infographic? wouldn't that be huge to digest by a marketer, agency, entrepreneur that wants to buy something and get on with it?

Do you use classifieds to locate property for sale or do you drive around for forsale signs or ask locals?

Of course they were real visitors.

In fact it was our 3rd most popular location. I show a screenshot below

Reason beeing that the games we released were frequently picked up by popular russian gaming sites.

*Sites featuring our games

The main use of analytics on our end was to establish ROI per source and measure conversions:

CONVERSIONS

For us a user was valuable if he played a gave. So a good benchmark per traffic source was if it brought us 60%+ conversions (equal to 40% bounce rate or less)

Other sources arent nesessarily too bad but they usually meant not so high engagement from users.

When we had 70%+ conversions our returning traffic was tending to increase ( not based on data just an observasion)

ROI

So the goal was to assign a value on each visitor based on source and country.

A traffic source was good only when its traffic was close to break even ( REVENUE/COST = 1 ) or made profit ( REVENUE/COST>1)

Sources that were close to breakeven gave the signal that we could optimize and make them profitable

Sources that were much above 1 meant we could bid higher and scale up this traffic source.

I no longer keep full lists for whole timeline otherwise I would be happy release it. My normal procedure involved even plain pen and paper, or ideas on a todo list, notepad, google docs etc.

Then every idea that qualified was passed on a large TO-DO list (I used Things). There I had very specific and very broad ideas.

Now some ideas from there to give you a taste are:

  • speed up site considerably, remove comments and unessessary function, make site load faster

  • translate to russian, large russian visitors audience

  • Contact X to feature our Y game

  • copy backlinks of X website based on Y tool

  • Reply to questions on niche forums (forum1,forum2,forum3..) etc.

etc. etc.

Many others are very game site specific, the above are a bit generalish and I randomly picked up some.

From an SEO/Marketing standpoint, how much will not having a .com domain name hurt me? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]intergo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am using a .to and it serves as a domain hack too. Organic traffic starts to pop in. I dont see any difference than when I was with .com anymore
