Here I developed a marketing plan for you:
1. SEO
- On the main page in the tittle put your site name and along with some text with keywords, like "AcademicBooks - We are your source for all acedemic books"
- For each page other then the index page create a different title that relates to the content of that page example "AcademicBooks - News and Updates"
- Search google and search common keywords, and serch unique keywords that dont target a lot of online book stores or make like a sentence or something, something unique.
- Insert meta tags in all your pages, metatags for keywords, and for discription of your site.
Search Engine Submission:
- Submit your site to all seach engines that you can get your hands on, manually.
Web Directory Submission:
- Submit to free directories dont have to be manual submission. You dont have to pay but if you want you can pay it wont help you much though.
Article Directory Submission:
- Create 2-3 articles on your website, basically the discription fo your site, your site features, and compare them with other sites ho your site can be the next amazon or something like that write it from 3d person meaning "they" instead of "I". Include a link at the buttom to your site.
- Submit your article to article directories can be paid can be free. Search around for some good article directories sites that is known well, and submit to others as well.
Others:
- Google adwords avertisements pay per click can be setup to get started.
- Myspace/facebook buy adspace from people who have lots of friends.
- Create stickers at your local print store or at stickerjunkie.com and post those stickers in different colleges/universities.
- Create coupons and flood them around the net, so sites like fatwallet will link your site to your codes, and dont make too much of a discount make like 5% discount.
- Post your site on some college site forums, and education forums.
