How can we get more users for ArmchairGM?

15
Vote

by user Patrickburke1980

This is an open letter to everyone within the Armchair Community. Overall, I think this site is going in the right direction and I'm pretty pumped about it. As we all know, the more active users we have the better it will be.

The first, and probably easiest thing we can do is reach out to our friends/family and try to get say 5 people to sign up. If all of the core users do that, it could add up to be quite a few. Perhaps we should try to do something like this once a month, or something else along those lines.

Let's keep Armchair moving forward. Please feel free to add your ideas to this list:


Idea #1 - Once a month, each member ranked in the top 25 has to recruit 5 new members to ArmchairGM. (Patrickburke1980)

Idea #2 - If you have friends with sports blogs, let them know that they'd be better off blogging here. We have lots of sports fanatics who read this site every day, and if the bloggers write here, us Armchair readers will be their readers! (DNL)

Idea #3 - Advertise - I found this site by virtue of someone putting a post into the Red Wings Group on Myspace. I know there is another "Great Sports Discussion" Group, perhaps putting a little ad in there could help. (Alex Holowczak)

Idea #4 - Advertise - by posting on all of the alt- newsgroup sites. I have done a few today to see if this draws in people

Post Name: Need Your Help

Hey Folks:

A few of us are trying to build a Wikipedia style site for Sports. The web site is www.armchairgm.com.

Feel free to go to the site and write about the [SPORTS TEAM}, or [SPORT], or any othersports related topic. We are still in our infancy, so don't be afraid to join the "Founding Fathers" Group.

Thanks,
[Your Name] (Christof)

One idea: If you have friends with sports blogs, let them know that they'd be better off blogging here. We have lots of sports fanatics who read this site every day, and if the bloggers write here, us Armchair readers will be their readers!

Advertisement is the best way. I came here when Dave Pinto dropped a link over at Baseballmusings.com. Dropping a link in others blogs will get us more users. I plan on letting the folks at SBNation know about the site this week.
