Marketing Tips

[Trattuss]

Hey, i dunno if this is the right place to post this but...
Me and my friends are currently about 60% through making a Flash Portal for people like you to showcase your movies and animations, they have to be full length and worthy of adding, otherwise it'll just get voted and reviewed low and ending up being deleted.

Anyway the 3 developers, myself included are all 15, thus we dont have any real cash to promote it properly.
How would we promote the site easily in a way it doesnt cost too much?
Any other tips would be nice too if you have any.

you can contact me by replying or via email: claytom@hotmail.com
Thanks A Lot

5 Easy ways to Advertise your Website

5. Start an e-newsletter
4. Include Website address on all business documents (this might only apply to the end of your emails since you won't have legal documents)
3. Exchange links with similar sites
2. Tell past and current clients about it (you won't have clients so just tell your friends)
1. Viral Marketing

Trattuss,
Consider this a kind warning... Flashkit is not the place to promote your site. If you do so again, the thread will be edited and closed... then after another warning you will be banned. Since we don't want that to happen, I'll give you some good advice...

First of all, take the advice that was already given here on how to promote your site.
Second, create a nice footer graphic and put it in your footer with a link to your site (and don't spam the forums).


Best wishes,

Jay
