    We are paying for online advertising and targeting countries such as Australia, the USA, Canada, Western Europe and Sweden.

    Of course we are not just targeting by country, we are mostly trying to restrict our adverts to people who follow accounts on social media talking about certain news topics. In this fashion, we hope our adverts will predominantly show to only to the unvaccinated.

    When we target a country with online adverts, we see a steady slow stream of new registrations from that country. Our budget for each country is small – only about $1 to $4 a day.

    We also see people from the same countries delete their accounts in either a few days or a few weeks stating they failed to find anybody suitable. If people actually stayed for a bit longer people from their city would arrive. We have seen it again and again. People expect to find a site with lots of people in their city, yet themselves don’t want to stay more than a few days or weeks and then lose patience. At the same time we are a small, independent site with only limited funds for advertising.

    So we are wondering if we are throwing our money away on online advertising.

    The problem is most members on this website don’t take out a paying subscription. This means we have no incoming cash flow to pay for new adverts. We damaged our funds by being a free website for 17 months.

    At this moment we intend to let our existing adverts run until 16th May 2025 and then let them expire.

    On a positive note one member of this website has paid for two adverts in the Canadian newspaper Druthers, which has a monthly distribution in the hundreds of thousands.

    On a separate note, we never intended to run a dating or meeting site. A couple of years ago we were dismayed that mainstream dating sites were both too expensive and helped promote the covid vaccination campaign. From our experience we felt a lot of dating sites either had technical problems, weren’t very ethical or both. We published this site, because we would prefer to pay to run our own meeting website rather than pay somebody else to do it we have issues giving money to.

    After solving a number of technical problems getting this site up and running, we actually wanted it to work.

    We compared the costs of newspaper adverts and found the Canadian newspaper Druthers was cheaper than others and had a high monthly distribution. It would have been foolish not to advertise with them! We did on three separate occasions. The newspaper was good enough to give us two free adverts on top of that.

    After our first advert in Druthers, we paid for adverts in The Light Paper, NineForNews.nl and three Swedish news websites.

    Right from the start, we registered our website with all the major search engines. All the search engines initially informed us that our website lacked links from high quality websites and as such they ranked us as a low-quality site. This was an additional reason why we paid news websites to link to us. Making a website with reasonable traffic is expensive!

    It would be nice to be a free website, but it is impossible to be a decent, independent site and free as well. Unlike major social media sites we don’t get funding from the stock market (this means your pension funds), university grants, government and billionaires.

    Some of free messenger apps you use are said to be end-to-end encrypted, but they have the following issues.

    • They make backups of your messages and encrypt them with their key. Even if you turn backups off, all your contacts have to do the same, otherwise the whole operation is pointless.
    • Upload all the phone numbers in your contact list to their servers.
    • Snoop on all the devices on your network.

    By the way we have been looking for a French news website, which is an equivalent to the Dutch site NineForNews. We have asked our members and nobody knows of one. Please tell us if you can find one!

    Hey hey, love ur effort and website!

    I also love marketing and I know its hard to work with paid Adds on a tight budget.

    Im also 99% sure, the system will waste ur money, if u use Google Adsense, or FB Ads. Just because it`s a topic which the system does not want. so ofc they charge u the money and u get some results, but pretty sure their AI driven mechanism will drain ur funds!

    How about some guerilla and “free” marketing strategies…?

    It`s a hands on concept and maybe u cant do it alone BUT I just found an idea how “WE ALL” can do it together working on one goal!

    Many people here dont wanna have a paid membership, because here are too less people! I think everyone can understand this, even the price is really affordable in my opinion!

    Sooo… you can use a BONUS System for the Members here, to “earn” a “paid-membership” if they help you to promote the webiste… (like an affiliate program)

     

    #### Here is my concept: ####

    I would Comment on Relevant “VIRAL” Videos with many VIEWS and comments:

    Find videos on Odysee, Rumble, and YouTube that discuss unvaxxed dating, vaccine hesitancy, or alternative lifestyles. Escaping the matrix and similar stuff….

    Leave a thoughtful, relevant comment that naturally mention the website to attract viewers with similar interests.

    I think this is the most easy way to promote it 4 free!!!!

    Many people will see it and resonate if the video has the right topic.

     

    ####

    Here are some other Ideas, but the most easy and effective way is probably always using things about “alternative” content which already attract a lot of attention…
