SWAPD is a forum-based marketplace. It can sometimes be confusing to use and cumbersome to master—especially for new members who are just starting out in this business. While we can’t change our core overnight, we can tell you which areas to follow and participate in, so your chances of earning serious money significantly increases. In today’s digest, we will reveal the ten most popular areas of SWAPD. Use this information wisely, and adjust your strategy to target new clients.
The above screenshot was taken from our Google Analytics panel. It showcases the top 10 most visited SWAPD areas in the past 28 days. Let’s go over them one by one.
#1 - The front page
Think our home page ads aren’t worth it? Think again! With just under 500K views, it’s no wonder people kill themselves trying to bump their listings. And while there isn’t much you can do to target this area other than by buying the featured slots, you need to remember to bump your topics frequently. Remember, more eyeballs on your topic = more chances of landing a sale.
#2 - Instagram category
It seems that Instagram is the current king, and IG accounts are the most sought-after social assets. At least they have been for the past 28 days.
#3 - What’s new?
While we can’t really utilize this position any way, it’s nice to see how many people check what’s new on SWAPD.
#4 - The search bar!
What are SWAPD users searching for this month?
For anyone wondering, position number 2 and 4 (tags:premium,spotlight + tags:auction status:open) means that users filtered through premium/spotlight/auctions exclusively. Bringing premium products to SWAPD pays off, and our auction system really should entice sellers to use it more often.
#5 - Unique services
This goes without saying, service-related transactions are most popular on SWAPD. Over 80% of our transactions are service based. Do you have a skill you could utilize? If so, offering services on SWAPD is the way to go.
#6 - Buyers requests
“You should allow topics from buyer’s requests on the front page, SWAPD! It gets no traffic.”
– Most SWAPD users
The buyer’s request category is literally the 6th most popular SWAPD page (measured by visits), despite being hidden from the front page. Utilize this knowledge, frequent the category, and try to provide users with what they need.
#7 + #8 - Tiktok and FB/IG services
Again, if you’re able to provide your skillset in those categories, that’s what most people are looking for this month. Check out our TikTok and FB/IG service sections for more insight!
#9 - This filtering option shows topics with the latest responses.
Not much use for money making, mostly useful for following discussion topics.
