we need some poets!

[billy]

how can we best promote the site?
i ask this on a regular basis ;fish;

i' still trawl other sites when i get a chance which isn't so often at present

so if anyone has any ideas drop em in a post please.

[billy]

that would be fantastic. i need poets hehe. just trying to get rid of
the boards rep and star system so everyone at least feels some sense of equality.

[billy]

the poetry forums is where you'll find the poems. decide what kind of feedback you'll like and post your stuff.
we don't have limits on posting as such but a good number would be 1 or 2 a day in the serious critique forum (they take a bit of time)
and how many you want in the others forums

we have a section thats mainly just for reference and relaxation hehe.

and the a general forum for discussing stuff in general. the sewer is where the pigshit flies, but it can be funny in a sexist kind of way.


you won't get lost cos we're here to help. just pm a mod and if they're online they'll help.

[srijantje]

the sewer is only slightly sexist because there are no women in it

[billy]

that's so true as well sj.
so! we need more women and more poets. i like it already.
though guys are still welcome.

Advertise, advertise. Wonder if there are any magazines that would take ads from non-profits at no cost. The other thing is to promote the site on bulletin boards that are outside or inside cafes and grocery stories. College websites too. What about towns that have their own online bulletin boards?--I'll be posting this site when I get out today at one of the grocery store bulletin boards; also, I'll carry copies with me when I'm out and about and will post anywhere there are bulletin board--jim

[billy]

thanks jim
addy and her sister are doing the rounds of their old colleges over the weekend with a couple of notes for notice boards.

[Lawrence]

Wow.

Going to colleges? I think that's a great idea! Perhaps I should put a few posters up....

[billy]

it may help

[billy]

the site metamorphosed into something else
thanks to other guys here.
hope we get to see some of your poetry here,
great to see you giving feedback.
sometime i think the feedback is as important as the poetry :0

[billy]

that would be good, i'll be there in spring next year.

read your poem in mild and liked it, will reply to it later

[billy]

next year huh? where you now?

thanks for the mention, wasn't sure where to post the poems, perhaps serious crit is more my thing...
is it a no-no to post something that has been considered for publication, i can see it being thought of as arrogant perhaps, but to me, it's more if not just to see a different perspective or opinion...there are lots of other publishers out there after all.

catch you later

Post anything you want.
use mild or serious. it sometimes spreads the load .
Ifyou want to hide anything from google, such as poems you'll present for publishing or even published work, just use the hide tags explained here

In the interest of recruiting, I thought about posting a link on my FB wall. Is this ok?

[Leanne]

Of course it's ok. We're not shy

[billy]

most definitely, and feel free if you have a site of your own, to put a ling in your sig

i love all your posting BTW, just don't burn yourself out

[Wildcard]

I probably won't 'burn out,' but I generally do have an 'enthusiasm curve' when discovering new things. I will put my referral link on FB tonight and post a link on my web page. I have invite several friends that are into writing in general. If they are like me, they will love this forum.

[billy]

don't forget to look in on the discussion forums as well. oh! and the sewer, and the pig sty. you can join them through groups on your user cp. did i tell you you're okay to post your site in your signature?

[Wildcard]

You did. I gotta go hit up User CP in the AM and change my sig, but now it's beddy bye for the Redneck =-P

[billy]

night AA sleep well
