G'day,
In our very recent announcement, we stated that we are looking to expand MC-Market through paid advertisements. Until now all of our promotion has been completely organic, but now that we are in a stable position I want to focus on more rapid expansion.
I think that all things considered MC-Market is in a difficult position to promote ourselves. We are too business-ey and have too high of an age requirement to promote ourselves through Minecraft youtube channels, but we are also too Minecraft orientated for a large portion of professional freelancers. The best audience for us to target would be places that Minecraft server owners are active, but the problem with that is that means competing with hosting companies who are prepared to pay far more per click than we'd be able to since their customers lifetime value is significantly higher. One thing I definitely do not want is for us to dilute our community with more users that will not align with our current userbase. I do not want to flood our forum with children who have no interest in buying or selling the products or services that the people on our forum currently provide or promote ourselves in toxic communities.
So yeah, the question I have for you all is how would you promote MC-Market?
In terms of budget, I am unsure of exactly how much I want to spend at the moment but definitely at least a few thousand and depending on how successful we are potentially tens of thousands so I don't think our budget will be an issue for most things.
If any of you have a particular interest in marketing and have prior experience and would like to have a more in-depth conversation, please create a conversation with me.
Thanks everyone, I look forward to hearing what you all have to say
