(Edit* if you see a typo but its still coherent get over it my fingers hurt from typing and im not going back. If you see something you don't understand comment ill clarify it)
So it been longer than I wanted
BUT IM BACK BOYS
As I said before I was told to give what you need. sooo
Below are the 2 methods I was using to get traffic and the listed inherent problem with them.
Maybe one of you guys would like to try with me, have an idea on modifying them, or actually have a traffic style your own to contribute to the conversation.
Note* I'm in the gaming niche and people can Pm me for my url
Method 1
Brand Partnership
Source: Twitch.tv
Work 1: Direct message brands with over 40 Live viewers
(also matched my collections to the Type of streamer they were)
Offer/DM:
- A miniature store for them to sell products on
- 50/50 on all profits
- Run discount codes and special events through there channel
Work 2:
Build a store collection with 10 to 30 products
Write up full description for the collection, linking the Twitch Brand
Create tabs on your DS store with the brand on social media and tabs on home page ect.
Return:
The Twitch brand makes a bot and panel posting about THEIR Store. Giving you sales and traffic.
Inherent Problem:
Clearly this is ALOT of Work for one brand and if your brand is too small you just wont see any returns.
Once a brand has been running the store for awhile you either have to update all your products run a contest or discount or just straight up get a new brand to work with. AKA saturation of a Brands audience is REAL.
Plus you have to convince the brand (often using voice chat on discord) to actually do it.
I could see this method working if you have a Huge brand join with you. Alas running a store and running this method can be...taxing...

Method 2
Brand Free GiveAway/Shout out
Source: Youtube.com
Work 1: Direct message brands with over 1 to 60 k viewers per average video
Offer/DM:
- A fully fledged giveaway Page on your DS store: of an item of choice
(i usually gave them three options pertaining to their next video)
- 50/50 on all profits of the Giveaway Item sold
- $30 to $50 cash (optional) [some youtubers will do it for free as its free for the viewers]
- Chance for their viewers to win something Free
- Offer
1st place gets 100 off item
2nd 75%
3rd 50 %
4th A Free Participation Prize for all who enter (literally a free thing on your store)
Note* Of course all discounts don't include shipping and your still make profit no matter if the get the discount or not; including on the free giveaway prize for simply signing up.
Work 2:
Build a store page that is a giveaway explaining the rules, prizes, how to sign up and places.
Link Everything, Add the Actual video that the youtuber made annoucing the giveaway.
Call the giveaway (insert brand name here)'s Free GiveAway
Have youtuber make a video Showing the page prize and how to sign up
Set Date for giveaway 1 month out from videos Launch.
Set the Sign up link on the page to Actually just be your newsletter.
Wait.....A MONTH
(people can pm me if they wanna see and example page. Alot can go into making this giveaway page but once you have on you can just duplicate it for otheres)
Work 3:
Build a newsletter advertising the events close. Send to all
Build the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners emails.
Send around half the Newsletter the 2nd place Email
Send the other half the 3rd place email
Randomly pick a first place winner.
State that all emails collected will be used in other giveaways (that way you can keep building your pool)
Most importantly send in the third place email (aka participation prize email) the Free Bee Item for joining.
Charge only for shipping. (leave room for you to profit.)
Return:
- A legit newsletter/customer List and database.
- Sales. depending on item size of audience ect.
- A chance to do more giveaways and build your audience more
- Backlinks from youtube
- An ever growing list of DM-able customers if you keep doing this
So on the major plus side of this you have a ever expanding database growing for you. alas...
Inherent Problem:
Again mom. Das alotta work.
The building portion of this work seems almost a Complete separate job then DMing and managing potential people.
Building the page and contacting the brands is ONE THING.
...Waiting a Month to see sales can be harsh...
Biggest issue i ran into with this method was the Lack of sales once I did it.
I didnt see sales till the Second giveaway...
THOUGHTS?
Way To improve?
