I have been setup for 3 weeks now and no sales. I am discouraged. I have set some sales up to see how that goes. Come check out my site and tell me if you think anything is wrong. Thanks.

It can take a couple of months for the search engines to really find you.

Most importantly, though, is to make sure sellers understand that eCrater doesn't have much built-in traffic and isn't an immediate substitute for eBay. It takes mucho work.

You open a new store in the strip center near you
you think the buyers will just come in?
nope you will sit there waiting until you get out and advertise and bring your own buyers in.

Its pretty much the same for me too but I guess its different for many sites. For my other shop, I have only been there for a month and done very well there with no advertising at all but I come here and did alot of advertising and nothing but I have to be patient.

Things will come along as soon as ecarter get a bit of advertising themselves. Alot of people still don't know about this place and I didnt either til someone told me about it.

Keep your head up and keep thinking positive thoughts.

ecrater.com does NOT advertise for buyers. That is the job of each individual store owner.

ecrater.com DOES advertise for sellers - alot is by word of mouth.
Obviously it's working for ecrater.com since there are now over 7500 stores here.

I do think it takes some time. ADVERTISE! There are a few lucky ones who get there first sale within the first week. ADVERTISE! It took me a little while to get my first sale but things are starting to pick up. ADVERTISE! Stick with it and it will happen. ADVERTISE!


p.s. ADVERTISE! Smile

When ADVERTISING - ADVERTISE to those that don't already know where you are and how to find you!

email advertising is great BUT most likely you got that email address from them already finding you. OR you are spamming - which is not a good thing either.

ADVERTISE to people that don't know you exsist!

That's what makes www.BusinessesGrowingTogether.com so great. You advertise to people that shop online - but to a bunch of sellers constomers not just your own!
