Hi, I recently opened up http://www.AWDForums.com/ . First off let me tell you what I have done so far:
- Myspace marketing, I have about 400 targeted friends. My bullitens over a week have only brought in about 40 registered members so far.
- I am holding a contest, see the info of that here http://awdforums.com/announcement.php?f=79 . Not much interest shown here, should I refine my contest in any way to make it more appealing to people?
My budget is limited right now so thats all I have done - wasted all of my money on car parts before I launched the forum! Stupid me 
All of the forums I could advertise would straight up BAN me for advertising, so that is out of the question
Some of my own ideas:
- Take lots of pictures of my car and watermark/link each one of them in the 'members galleries' section of the other forums.
- Comment on people AWD cars on sites like CarDomain.com would be sort of like myspace advertising, but this will take time, time I dont allways have right now.
Just let me know what you think would work best for me, what I should try, what I shouldnt try. And any other methods you have I should try too!
Thanks alot,
Casey |
