So right now we are working on building some more content to have ready for updates, which is another issue. I don't see a problem with having content to update every week. I was thinking two photo sets and one video every week. Probably even doing the updates through the week, say monday wednesday, friday, instead of all on the same day.

We're thinking that we we will launch the whole thing at the end of this month. That way we have enough content to hold us over for a bit, and get us into better weather for this part of the country so we can get out and do some outdoor stuff as well.



Well, my question to you is HOW do I promote it??? You see, if I could I'd just buy a TV spot, but I don't think the stations would let me air one... so where do I promote?

Where is my promotional money (and valuable time) best spent?
  • Buying traffic?? If so, from whom?
  • TGP websites? Do they really work?
  • ???
So you have checked to ensure your site is cross browser compatible etc?

Promotion would depend a great deal on your budget of course. People have mentioned an affiliate program already. This is where other webmasters promote for you for either a percentage of sales and rebills (typically 50%) or on a pay per signup basis.
There are a wide varity of people that sell traffic, I suggest searching on the board and check refrences and any board feedback regarding them.
Yes tgp sites do work, though it really helps to know what your doing. You can however submit to some for no costs. Also getting some FHG's out to the owners of tgps would help (again affiliate program).
You can also start to build search engine friendly free sites to promote your paysite. This takes time, though it helps to have everything up and ready or you are wasting traffic.
Basicly there are nearly an endless ways to promote sites.
