Just launched a new startup, could use some help.

Okay, first I would like to state that I am SittinLow from this forum, I registered that account with my college e-mail address, however, have graduated and can no longer access the e-mail. Which, in turn, means I cannot do a password reset. So if any admin could help me out with that, then that would be great, as I have paid for the premium forum under that account.

Now to this post:

Me and a partner have a website, basically it is for deal promotion for small businesses centered around a small demographic. I will be much more specific about this in the private forum. However, you can check our youtube video here:






Now, we are recent grads with a shoe-string budget, and I am from a science background with no offline business marketing experience. We are trying to get clients now for a beta testing period for our site, offering free service in exchange for feedback. However, we are struggling to get clients as our marketing experience is limited. I am asking if anyone can help me with an outline on how to go about getting these clients on board. Such as: Phone calls, visits, emails ect..

Thank you for any help.

Fastest way it to talk to the small business owner directly offer it for free.

Spam is a quite good marketing technique sort of joking..

Try leaving (manual) comments on authority blogs or posting on forums which your target audience will read, drive people to your website. Youtube is also a good traffic source if you use it well, so is Tumblr, , Facebook, etc;. in general all that is social.

Or else you can try ranking your website to the first page of Google results for a certain keyword (SEO)

just a few ideas..
