I posted items yesterday and have had one view in 24 hours. I chose 19% commission. Do I need to be a member before I see traffic? I can’t make sales without traffic. Is their a trick to it?

You only have been here a couple of days.
Your items need to be indexed through the internet.
This is not eBay that is recognizable. You will need to help yourself and promote yourself along with the percentage through google you choose. (that’s nutsy)

posted in answer to another new Bonz’er…though question was slightly different..the answer may apply
Paying 19% your items are sent to google and other places depending on what you chose. It is up to you to ensure that your items are google compliant and meet google’s rules for google product search. Or the rules for any other place the items are sent
Choosing 19% as a FVF once the item sells means your items will have more advertising clicks to send out…but it does not mean someone will actually click on the ad…
To check and see if your items are in google shopping or have some issue with your google feed, then go to
Selling Dashboard
Reports
Feed Diagnostics
Click on your AccountID and it will take you to your items that are in google shopping (every item there has already been paid for to be listed…however, bonz will not charge you unless the item sells)
If you want to check to see if there is any problems with your feed click on the link that [URL removed]

unlike ebay or amazon where people go to look for items
Bonanza, like a stand alone webstore depends…good google standing, good keywords, strong links back to your items will build your google reputation and therefore increase your search standing (reputation) and views….and that will take some time, more than a few weeks…
Listing and waiting…only works at those other sites…..
I also noticed that your items appear to be competing with thousands of the exact same thing (right down to the title) on the internet…so longer standing, stronger reputation items will always appear in search results before newer just starting out stores…it will take time…
You will need to establish your presence on the internet..good back links (using social media can help with this)..tweet, pinterest, google+, set up a facebook business page with the bonanza items app (this puts your listings on your facebook page)
[URL removed]
Personally, I would stay for the free booth, especially with so few items (higher number of items strenghtens results …make sure everything is up to google standards and is has a good showing in google product search…do some tweeting, add a facebook business page with links back to the booth, and other social media, to build ‘reputation’ with good strong links and …then decide to upgrade to membership later..
Good Luck
Welcome to Bonanza

You pretty much have to do your own advertising. There are several sellers on here, including myself, who will advertise for you. You can go to my booth and look for my listing, it’s got a pic of a megaphone. I can guarantee a big increase in traffic, but cannot guarantee sales.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
