I have a unique idea for a new website. How much will it cost me to make it known?

Question

can anyone estimate about what it would take for advertising costs to make the website known?

is there an online company that will do all this for me and if so what is the best and the best rate that they charge?

thanks in advance

oh yea, should i have a copyright on my idea before i present it to any marketing agencies? thanks

Answer 1

That depends on what kind of advertisement you want to do: a full nation wide (TV, radio, papers, etc) is several millions of dollars like from 20 to 50 millions. Internet only might be much more less but it will take longer and you'll reach less people (just because internet got many suscribers doesn't mean they are visiting the same pages you pay to be advertised on).

It all depends in what it's you market and product.

Many advertisement companies can give you a complete analysis of what is best for your service and target audience, and offer you several alternatives according to your budget.

Answer 2

Any time you have a new idea about which you want to consult with outside vendors, it's always a good idea to ask the vendor to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). This protects your ideas from being shared with anyone other than the specific vendors you want to share your information with and gives you legal recourse should someone release your proprietary information to a third party. You can find examples of an NDA online and reputable vendors should have no problem with a standard NDA.

There are many avenues you can pursue to help promote your web site, so it's a good idea to take the time (even though you may be tempted to skip these steps) to hire a marketing researcher to help you target your audience specifically and determine what tools will be most effective in reaching that audience in a way to which they are most likely to respond.

Taking the time to do your research in the beginning and map out a marketing strategy will save you countless time and dollars down the road and will give you a better return on investment (ROI) than a stab-in-the-dark approach.

As another respondent mentioned, there are a number of freelance sites that connect clients with marketing experts, copywriters, designers, programmers, etc. www.guru.com is a reputable site that's been around for quite a few years, so that might be a good starting point for you. You can also contact your local colleges which have marketing and business programs to ask if there are students who need real-world companies to use for their end-of-semester project. This is a great way to get some assistance at a lower cost with someone who is likely to be enthusiastic. But, beware, because in most industries, you get what you pay for, so balance cost with experience and what the firm(s) you will work with has to offer.

Good luck!

If you are really determined to pass the work to the "pros" then I suggest that you have to look for freelancers who could do the job for you. These people are usually not working in a company and would probably cut you costs. There are websites that cater to all freelancers. Just search the web for it. However, if you still prefer to consult a company, then look for directories who offer such service.

I suggest that you also have to learn things yourself while you hire a pro to do your web poromotion. This is because web marketing is something that is continuous. While you are with a pro, try to learn to get into it too, so you will also be able to do things yourself next time.

Rates depend. But I agree that it would not be that much. Just be sure that you hire someone that is real and not a bluff. Be careful on this one too because many people out there only uses "faux" techniques to get your money. Thus, I also suggest that you have to read some stuff about web marketing.

Good Luck!
