Hi there,
My name is Tom, And I’m a little-experienced Internet marketer, currently Working at Smartlation.com - The First Marketplace for translation services. We connect people who seek translation with the right translator for them.
My mission is to bring sales, from 0 customers to the first 1000 (the website lunched few months ago).
Recently i’ve got a recommendation about this forum, and i am happy that i did, since i discover more and more great ideas & information here.
I hope some of you guys could help me with my current issue, which is marketing my product - human translation - to the international market.
With very high CPC at Adwords and mini-tiny results with non-targeted PPV Campaigns - I'm a bit lost.
To get people to order one translation job, usually cost around 100 clicks, And each of those - as you can guess - is redicilously expensive. We even promoted a Free 20$ coupons in order to encourage people to use the site, but without success.
The Translation Market is tricky, B2C Speaking, since nobody needs translation often, expect when they need it suddenly.
B2B Speaking - I can advertise smartlation to other translation agencies, since they are likely to use our services due to lack of translators or overloading of incoming jobs offers that they cant handle.
This is our website: www.smartlation.com - The design is a bit pale, but next week a new, much modern & stylish design will be updated.
I will be happy to hear any ideas or strategic a that you guys might come up with, since you are far more experienced than me.
Thank you guys for all the great information! this forum is priceless.
