    What kind of videos are they? I do better with some specifics, as far as giving interesting suggestions goes :)

    I would think your average PR sites online would hear you out.. also if you have a niche, bloggers in that niche would probably be willing to yap about ANYTHING that took $100k to build!

    Have you thought about running some contests to award people who upload exceptionally awesome videos? Contests where you give stuff away end up being pretty good PR in general, similar to linkbait.

    Just some ideas :)

    I do have an MBA with an Emphasis in Information Security Management. BS in IT from TULANE. Not to mention Net+,Sec+,CCNA,MCSE... All those gay pieces of paper that tell me I'm smart...

    I wanted the site to work - before marketing - It still has a lot of bugs now that I moved it to my dedicated server so I'm still working it. I have my hands deep in the niche already. I think I will just start slowly and when I'm really ready to bust out I will pony up the cash for some serious marketing.

    So I guess I can live with the debt for a bit eh?

    Admittedly, we're not being all that helpful ... but it is almost hard to believe you would spend $100k on those websites ... My most expensive project so far has cost me $40k before the actual launch - and I had some serious strategies planned out and some serious worries on my mind.

    Maybe I am not the only one who saw the catchy topic title "$100k" and you mentioning your signature in the first post of the topic? I am not accusing you of anything, it just wasn't too smart of an approach.

    I understand your feeling about my "catchy" topic and sig referral. I was just making note that I wanted to step it up a notch from hustlin' to going big and taking a deep plunge.

    With $100,000, I thought you already did?

    *rolls eyes*

    Weird-ass posters here.
