Forums Feedback Marketing Voltra

Voltie Posted 5 years ago ( 2019/06/3 09:19:41 )
I feel like Voltra does not have much of an online presence. Which is a shame because I think the site offers a lot. While there could my marketing efforts of which I’m not aware I think the following would increase new users:

- Official Instagram: Maybe put something like avatar-community in the username so just by looking at the username you can know what kinda site Voltra is. And with the amount of outfits/art Voltra has it should be easy to find content to post.
- Official Tumblr: I’m not that well versed on Tumblr but it seems the target audience are mostly artists and LGBT communities. Both of which like avatar communities (judging by the kind of people I’ve met on avatar communities so far) Could use the same content as the Instagram

Reddit:
Maybe invest in small marketing budget and get some sponsored posts going.
I think the following Reddit’s could also be of interest:
- PBBG (while Voltra does not have any games yet, it is a persistent browser based community)
- Gaiaonline (plenty of people go there looking for something like gaiaonline, so maybe get something going on by contacting their mods)
- Forums (A reddit discussing all kinds of forums)

Medium:
Also a great place for artists and the like, having a official medium account sharing stories/art. Articles about comparing different avatar communities (while including Voltra) could also be a huge hit.

@Hazer might also be worth the trouble to add a special landingpage/webtrack key to keep track of the impact of the marketing efforts.

We did recently have a lot of gaia people join because someone made a thread about us on gaia.

@vengeance: Nice, however I think the Gaia terms of service do not allow people to link/talk about other avatar sites.

Yeah, getting the Instagram up would be a cool idea.

@Totalanimefan: I'm not sure, the costs should be similar enough though

Did anyone ever consider Pillowfort as another site option that's good, too?

This is a random thought after reading through everyones post but, what if we had a refer box in registration? This might encourage current users to invite friends if there were incentives involved.

I throw my vote into the instagram pool. If ads are too expensive you can always just upload to ig. You can always use hashtags to get to people. Ideas that could be posted are like new monthly items, art previews, avatar of the month, etc. just things that kinda give an idea of what the website is like.

I also think the idea of a referral when registering would be a good idea.

@uwu: there are instagram and twitter accounts now.



But no Pillowfort accounts for the site yet, though.

@LupaPrinceRomulus: nope none of those yet.



Well that's a bummer, potential members can be had from this site and vice-versa.

Pillowfort has closed registration. They will make it possible for existing users soon to generate invite keys but that's it. Otherwise you need to pay a $5 fee to join.

So for the time being, until existing users can start generating new keys, a moot point that's out of the question for now.
