Hi, I've started a new website (http://buymymac.com) and I am wondering, in terms of marketing - where to start? I'm not sure where to start promoting and advertising this site. It's a difficult one to "get out to the net". I am considering tech forums at the moment. The site is developed, I just need to get it out to the public.

I'm confused -- what service/product does your site provide?

Here is the intro paragraph:

Do you know the kindof people who are always writing comments about how Mac OS X is truly the better Opersating System? Nothing else compares? Yeah, I bet you do. We've all seen them floating around. Well, say hello to the newest floater.

Hello, my name is Chris Williams – and I have been using the Windows Operating System my entire life. I am on the computer for more than six hours a day, and have been using heavily active with computers for about six years now. It never occured to me to give Mac a chance, until recently I had the opportunity to try Mac OS X, I was blow away. The interface, the features, everything!

I am ready to make the switch. What switch? The switch from using Windows to Mac. Not only do I want to start using Mac – but, quit using Windows / PC all together. At least try, anyways. It is finally clear to me that Mac is superior. There is just one problem with the switch - I do not have the funds to purchase a Mac. This is where your help comes in – I am asking for donations towards my Mac system. In return, I can only thank you, and return the favor with the demolition of my PC (more details about the reward below). As well, I will be providing a text link on Buy My Mac to all donors who donate more than $10. If you have donated, and would like your link up, please email us with your link and display text.

In addition, I have set up a blog, and I will be posting blog updates every few days to keep readers/donors informed. I appreciate your reading, and look forward to getting my goal accomplished!

Does this help?

Soo...you have a site with *zero* net presence, and you're begging for money in exchange for a link that will result in no gain to your donators? I'm confused as to why anyone would donate to this cause?

Am I missing something?

I am not asking for your donations monaco, or for you to enjoy my website. Nor am I "begging", I am asking for donations. I am giving something in return.

I posted this thread in regards to getting some tips about promoting this type of website. The purpose of this thread is for me to gain some help on getting some alternative traffic to the website, so that the links on the website ARE useful, and send them traffic. :)

Thanks man

Hey, I think ya misunderstood me...I'm not dissing your site...if it works, it's cool. I'm just trying to figure out the logistics.

Edit: if you do manage to get a mac, I recommend the microwave oven as the executioner of both a cheap microwave and a PC :)

Make a messy, detailed plan of how you will destory the PC and why- maybe give users a better idea of all the exact reasons Mac is superior and PC's suck- a Pro/COn list for both. Provide so much info your site becomes useful and gets higher notice in search engines and referenced. Does Mac have an affiliate program- sell Macs! Send a press release about the event to quirky sites. Try craigslist and whatnot. Become fanatical on MAc forums. And of course- contact Macintosh- get several email contacts and call their helplines you may get some leads- or a Mac an easier way! And of course make a video your PC destruction sequence and put it on your site and youtube and so on... Good Luck-- please post back with your progress :)
