New Vendor

Hey guys, today we finally got around to setting up a vendor account (it is open to the public). So far there has not been a single bite, no real surprise - there is a lot of competition and it has only been up for a few hours. Just wondering if anyone can provide some tips to help get in those first few customs and get a rating going.

Much appreciated
DD

my advice would be to list some super-cheap samples

Thats the only sure fire way to gather a fan base from the jump. Either free or pay only shipping samples to reliable reviewers of the community.

Edit your forum signature so people know where to find you on the road.

Don't spam the forum.

Join in discussions, talk about your product where relevant but don't force it.

Get to 50 posts then advertise a cracking off in the product offers section.

Don't abandon the forums - they're vital to your success, as they are the most direct way of people finding you.

Good luck!
