    I created the website www.mytimecapsule.net, is a website where everyone can created their own time capsules.

    At the moment my biggest problem is promote the service. What are the best ways to do that?

    PS. If someone likes this project, I will accept partners to help in promotion, we will share the profits.

    Probably a good start would be informing your friends and family, word of mouth is an excellent way of promotion and free.

    Depending on what you are looking to do? are you willing to spend money?

    Set up a free listing for your business in search engine local directories. That always works

    Since your site offers a service for general audience, you don't need to hunt for a highly targeted traffic. I guess you can expect good results from Facebook, Twitter and the like. Actually, any traffic source would do well. Just drive as much traffic as you can any way possible, and you'll be fine. :)

    Use some article marketing ... but it's getting hard now due to new Panda updates...
    Facebook is a good way too.

    I would go with press releases. You want to get a buzz going for that kind of service.

    that kind of product makes sense trying a viral+PR approach. get some press releases out, ask some bloggers if they could write a post about it, offer people a free trial if they write about it on their blog, etc.
