Advertising my new blog..

**bucnutz19** · 02-12-2007 11:11 PM

Hey guys. I am just now getting into the marketing stages of a blog/article site I have started. Naturally i dont have a lot of funding for marketing but I need to build a lot of user participation in the forums and with the site. I want the site to be completely interactive but I need to build a strong user base for that. Any ideas?

Wow.. very nice site dude... I can see so much potential! All the best!

Personally I dont know how a name like TechSpeck could relate to an entrepreneur or ways to help. I would change name, but they may be to late. As for the picture, it doesnt really represent anything?

I dont get it.

But No worries. Good Luck.

hey you should change the picture dude..its from a wordpress template right? I have seen lotsa people with that template but if you could change the picture header to ur custom one would be best...!

Hey bucnutz19,
I like this idea. Advertise it on different other forums. People will love the site and the forum, and eventually put the link in their sites, signatures etc.

Just a quick bit of advice, if you are already marketing it, make sure the main page has an article or something useful for a visitor not just a "welcome, this site was created because" entry. Otherwise your visitors will never become subscribers because there is no point waiting for good content when there are dozens of places to find it when the site you are at isn't.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The site isn't completed finished yet and I definately agree with the logo and banner on the site needing to be updated. I was considering trying to sell my e-book on the site but haven't gotten around to figuring out how to set that up.

The site looks nice but it's not really clear what's your site is all about.

You need to make it clear to the viewer's what your site is and what does it offer.

Hi there... I've seen your web site, I think for build a strong user base you have done good way with Forum Page and Registered users, etc.
And your site it's Focus ....thx

Still cant figure out what he meant.

Hi,
I saw your site and the only thing that seems lacking is the attractiveness of the articles or the eye catching ability of the article.

For example, one of the articles was named as "Being Productive". I really couldnt understand if that article was about procastination or goal setting or being productive.

I dont know about others but I just didnt want to read the article. It was like reading a text book.

just my 2 cents.
