Here is my new startup: http://jumpino.com/ I made it with my brother, took us over 6 months. I've tried contacting bloggers to feature us with fair to poor results. Does anyone have any creative ideas for promotion that won't cost me an arm and a leg? Thanks, Noemi
Hi, I am really impressed with your site! You can try buying avatars and sig links promoting your site here on DP, I think that can help you. Always great to see another female webmaster
Can you come up with a way to make money from the site? And can you forecast the revenue and profits if you say had 100,000 users. If so - you could try asking for VC, there are plenty of companies who would invest if you have a solid business plan.
We want to do it on our own for the first three months, and then ask for VC. I'm looking for promotion ideas for these first 3 months.
For first 3 month,you can try promote it using free way such as blog commenting,directory submitting,and do some link exchange with other site.
Don't be discouraged with the poor responses from the bloggers. It's the way it goes. It's possible they may consider you being rather a spammer than a business opportunity. If you really believe you have a profitable idea, contact a Venture Capital firm that will think through your business plan in depth. Venture Capital is what made all the top website on the internet be what they are today.
I can help you out. My app has been featured by all the major blogs and on TV. Send me a message - there are a few things that jumped out at me right away, which probably caused your site to have no coverage.
try submitting a press release to www.boosharticles.com you can put anchor links to your site and have it in Google News
It looks like a great idea, I wish you luck. These things tend to be hard to advertise. Get a few of your friend to test it with you, then consider paying people to sign up and use it a bit. And maybe, just maybe, you will get it running.
