Alright, so part of promoting an upcoming site would definitely be the ability to have first hand communications with the possible visitors. However, it seems that it may be difficult to build up a list of contacts (especially on Facebook) that have not already viewed your website. If you want to get thousands of people added on your Facebook, and following you on Twitter, in order to promote to them in the future, what would be the best way to go about this? Also, are there any ways to eliminate the timely process of adding friends on Facebook, and would a typical (public view) Facebook page be alright for primarily promoting your website? It would be as simple as adding links to new movies, new TV show episodes, etc. For example, updating my Twitter with a link to a new TV show episode as soon as it hits the Internet... Thanks
If you want to build a huge follower base, you have to be active. The second thing is real people dont like to bots, they like to follow real people. So your profile, picture should be in place properly. Have a look at various Twitter tips, they might help you.
Yes, but as mentioned I am focusing on the "watch movies/TV shows/sports streams online" niche which is pretty much open to everyone, or at least 99.9% of the world. While not all of the people already watch stuff online, there is the possibility of converting the others, which may not have been opened up to this already.
Best way to build huge list of followers is to become a celebrity like Britney Spears. If not, then try coaxing twitter people to add you in their suggested follow while registering new account. If that is also not possible, then, follow others ( You will soon reach your limit of 2000). After than, start urging all known people to join twitter and follow you till you cross 2000 followers in order to remove twitter limit.
