    Online Marketing Experts Wanted

    I am the owner and operator of an online Mixed Martial Arts retail store and we are just opening for business. We'll be looking to expand through PPC marketing very soon, and would like some price quotes and campaign summaries by marketing experts and/or companies for our consideration.

    Thank you very much.

    We would be looking to work with a budget of $100 or less, so please include quotes and packages for that price range.

    You can't hire a real internet marketing expert for $100. You just can't. All you can get for $100 is an "internet marketing wannabe." For example, I personally charge $200 just to talk to you on the phone for a few minutes. After that I charge $175 per hour. But I'm not available for hire at this time.

    You can probably find someone on this forum who will work for a $100. All I can say to that is caveat emptor!

    I have already gotten two phone calls from professional companies who have packages for less than $100. I have only talked to one company thus far who's minimum is above $100.

    One of the two companies is ranked 25th in the country ( Heritage ).

    I would use google adwords you will prolly be able to pay about 30 cents per click. I've used a few ppcs in the past and google adwords is the best.

    Dale's right. You won't get a GOOD firm for $100.

    Well it depends on what strategy you use. For less than $100 PPC is not the way cos it wont even last you a week if you are going at $30 per day..

    Probably you can hire freelancers to go into your targeted market forums / blogs and comments and leave your links there.

    This is criminal. This is such bogus advice. And it has absolutely nothing to do with the thread's topic - hiring an internet marketing expert. I refuse to stand by and let members get away with dispensing bad or inaccurate advice. My conscience won't allow me to do that. This is such bad advice. And previously fwn122 gave even worse advice.

    Agreed.
    There are enough knowledgeable people on YE who can help you out with recommendations for marketing the site. It's probably your best option with a $100 budget.

    Ya my bad for recommending google adwords; the most popular PPC service in the world. You don't need to insult other people just because you don't agree with them. Theres nothing wrong with adwords; you bid on keywords and pay by the click. You even set a daily limit so you can never be charged more than you want to pay. Its a very simple concept and I dont see why its such terrible advice.

    All you've done on this post is explain why everyone elses advice is bad. You have not actually given any advice yourself.

    That's exactly my point about people giving bad advice. You don't even understand what is actually being presented. The poster is not looking for advice about Adwords. He's looking to hire an internet marketing expert for $100. Did you not read the title of this thread:

    Online Marketing Experts Wanted

    I've already explained to him that he can't hire a competent professional for $100. But he didn't want to hear that. He's looking for somebody to blow smoke up his ass. I'm not going to do that. I'm not interested in being politically correct. I'm only interested in making sure you guys don't get screwed over.

    If he can't hire a pro for $100, then adwords is an alternate solution. You clearly stated that hiring an internet marketer is out of the questions so I was recommending somthing else.
