I want to promote my site and spend 1000$ wisely.

I have the subscription service and 1 user who signs = 20$/month So on average I should probably expect 60$+ long term from 1 account.

I have 1000$ to spend.

What can I do is:

1. Hire a good article writer and make him write 50 articles then submit those written articles to the blog + article directories.

2. Create a banner and place an ad on 3 forums with 15000 targeted unique users. Ad will be non rotating 728x90 and in the center of the forum.

3. Create 50 pages report and giveaway it for free if they sign for opt in list.

4. Spend it on PPC for 0.25$/click

What choice would be the best? Are there any other better alternatives?

Thank you
 


Take your thousand dollars, wipe your ass with it, then flush it down the toilet. On a side note -

Take your money and spend it wisely. I was just giving a clear example of what many people would do with the money :p. Anyways, I would take some of that coin and spend it on well written content, backlinks, and PPC. The money burns fast, so be careful bro.
 
How can you expect us to give you a spending strategy without any information on what you are advertising? Different websites call for different strategies...

If it's your site and it's subscription, I would try to aim toward organic since you plan to be around for awhile. If your conversion rates are decent, PPC may be worth some while, but I don't see a lot of users signing up for a subscription at $20 per month after clicking on one ad for the first time unless it's a rebill with a too good to be true intro offer and they are too dumb to realize they need to cancel.

Also, I don't think you should hire just one writer to do 50 articles on the same or similar subjects. I find that quality seems to come down quite a bit when you have the same person write about the same broad subject more than a few times unless you can get real creative with the focus and direction of each article. You can only do that so much though.

If you're looking for only 50 articles, at say $2 per 100 words and 250-300 words each, you should have quite a bit of money left over, unless you're paying them to do the submissions as well. I would do that part myself though since it is the simplest part and you want the most control over how you link back to your site.

Thanks. Not for the advice, but because I just got a great idea after reading that. Repped.
 
I don't see even 1 PPC ad for poker neither on google.com or google.co.uk

What exactly do you mean?

In the US no... in the rest of the world yes. The biggest poker rooms in the world spend a LOT of money with the likes of google.co.uk for example.

Exactly. You can't see the ads if you are in the US, or any other jurisdiction where they are banned. However, I have it on good knowledge that some of the big guys are spending upwards of a million dollars a month on PPC on Google.
