Forum Promotion Proposals
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 9:15 am
In case you haven't noticed, we don't see very much chatter on this board. Its mostly a few of the Board of Directors, and a few persistent others.
I would like to propose several ideas for promotion, and without objection, just work on implementing them.
1. Mention the forum occasionally on a Main chat notice.
2. Mention it in a notice, but also add some sweeteners... like wonderful cash and prizes, or even something simple like a title of "NCI Forumologist" or something less cheesy.
3. Have some games or hunts inworld that rely on clues and stuff in the forum. That gives people a reason to keep coming back and adds an element of fun to things also.
4. Have a direct to inworld RSS feed from the forum.. maybe based on certain topics only... not sure if this forum supports that sort of possibility or not.
5. Solicit specific types of posts from people, again inworld.... like news, or fashion tips, or fun places to go, or so on.
6. Work with advertisers inworld to create forum-based promotions/coupons for items. Maybe if people say "I just love B&W Homes" or whatever other AdNode sponsor on the forum, they get a special prize or coupon at that shop.
7. Work together with other online services to add interesting or compelling content to the forum. Animoto comes to mind for now, but there are tons of places.
