Generating more traffic

Any ideas on how to generate more traffic to this site? I get decent views but I’d like more & I’d also like Bonanza to become more well known in general as a site. Not many people have heard of it. I’m suscribed to the Facebook page & have also shared the Bonanza Facebook page to my personal page but it only has just over 23,000 likes which isn’t a lot on social media. I include a Bonanza business card with any Etsy order I send out or any transaction I have. What else can be done? I feel like there is a lot of untapped potential here if more people knew about it. It would also make it more legitimate for doubters. Is anyone else sharing the page & trying to get the Bonanza name out there? What kind of advertising does the actual site do? I’ve seen an occasional Facebook ad but it may only be because I like & follow the page. Just wondering if anyone had any other ideas?

I opened a booth on Bonanza in 2011 and promoted all over the place. I left cards in public places and on community news boards, made stickers for the outside of my packages. Even had a QR code made for my car window. I did this almost every day for 4 yrs and finally just had to slow down.

its frustrating because the cost is so low here & I have a large number of listings all kinds of items & just would like a bit more activity here

I have thought of every kind of item to offer here & think I have a good selection of some nice products very reasonably priced when people see my shop here they love it so I’m missing out I feel like :/ I’ll keep trying. thanks for your response & good luck with your store!

The views increased but, in my opinion they were bot views, not real people. I have a sale here and there. It’s frustrating because I love the site and had high hopes.

Well I hope more people will spread the word & try to get the site at least a bit more well known, what do we have to lose doing that? I’m hopeful
