I'm currently scripting and designing a site like FML (fmylife.com) I want to know the various ways I can use to promote this website of mine and get traffic + content. Please help me out guys. Thanks in advance
Social networks like facebook and twitter are going to be your best bet so that friends can share the best submissions and hopefully your content will become viral. You might also want to consider advertising on websites that have a lot of traffic from high school and college students.
Yeah most of those sites take off because they are viral. Facebook, Twitter, Digg, and other social sites will probably be your best bet. Care to share with us what the site is when you have it finished?
For that kind of site I'm sure some offline marketing could have a great impact on your traffic as well.
Looks pretty cool. Now just start social bookmarking it at a lot of places and getting it out there on Facebook, Twitter, etc. and see what happens with it.
Looks pretty good indeed, but unless I'm not looking at it right I think you're not adding anything at all to the concept of FML. It's pretty much a copycat and it's gonna be very hard to go viral. FML is already very famous and I don't see any reason why anybody would want to use your site if it doesn't bring anything new at all. I think you should think about it. You don't have to change it all, but if you add some kind of new idea around the concept of FML then it will help you a LOT to advertize the site.
I would just try and tell all of your friends and make sure they go to it. If you service is good, later make an application for iPhone/iPods and you will see your traffic grow dramatically.
