So, TL, I ask you: how would you go about soliciting people you know to do something for you, or how do you feel about people who do that? When does a mere solicitation turn into douchebaggery? -not going into the other concerns i have, namely, how to avoid the trolling flamewars that will probably happen as well.   | ||

With family, I don't know about it but just try to be direct to them. If you guys are pretty close then it's not going to look like douchebaggery since that's just family helping family out. Edit: Yeah I forgot that multi level marketeers tend to do the stuff regarding grab a few beers except they don't have a beer with them when we meet up. Try to make it as casual as possible without being too focused on your business; and Yeah, follow the rule not do disturb them in their "lunch or work etc." | ||

Job or business? you mean you're starting a brand new website and you're trying to create traffic that could potentially earn you revenues? and you're asking friends and family to try to spark the initial interest in the website so that it becomes some kind of network effect to increase popularity? if i get it right...then i mean yeah..why not..friends and family would love to see a relative succeed in business.. as long as you're not bugging them too much...but then again...whats the target audience of that forum? if they are likely to be in the target audience..just ask them to take a look... if you can clearly see why they would never be interested in that stuff...then just try other means of advertising....although i know your budget is probably limited right now.. also...are you sure a forum could be lucrative? even a successful forum like TL which has a big ass amount of traffic is, i heard, not very lucrative. anyhow, GLHF. i mean to say i'm working for somebody who is starting this forum. I have no idea whether or not it is profit or non-profit, though. | ||
