OKay, Ive just finished up on the site. Now I want to know how I can market it. So far I've posted in the General thread of DP which can get me some 'interested readers', and Im planning to do some Stumble marketing, but apart from that what other ways can I merket the site? Any help would be appreciated!
Besides DP you can also try advertising it in the free advertising forum sites below: http://freeadvertisingforum.com http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace http://www.v7n.com/forums/ http://www.nettrafficchat.com/ Don't give up on social bookmarking as it is a really powerful tool for driving traffic. Join community sites like Spicy Page where you can submit your site for free and participate and discuss certain topics in a niche oriented community groups. This allows you to show your expertise on a specific topic and get greater exposure for your site. The above mentioned method aims at discovering your community group, places where your potential readers reside on the web. That is your main goal, to find the people that want to read your stuff and market your guide to them in a way that they would like.
There are also the PUA forums... and I believe that YouTube has worked really well for the likes of MysteryMethod, Neil Strauss and Ross Jeffries so that's worth doing...
The DP community is so rich and full of threads on this topic. No offense or anything but you could've at least searched through the forum or Google if you like.
