I currently have about 60 members but the auction website has been up for almost a year, only one item was sold and the items that are up now were placed by me in order to give it a full look and to possibly entice people to join.

I have spent absolutely no money on advertising for two main reasons:

1.I don’t have that much money to spare, I am living on a limited income (very limited)

2.Because I am on such a limited income I’m scared if I do put money in advertising, people will find the ad, visit the site and leave because they will not see any items listed.

This is not a sell everything auction site like eBay, I am in no way trying to compete with eBay, my market is very limited to an outdoor activity.

I would like some advice on how to get the ball rolling and try some things to either get my current members to start participating or to get new visitors/members to start selling/bidding.

Currently the only fees the website carries are sold item fees; if your item doesn’t sell then you will not be charged.

Thanks for any help on this matter!
