Hey guys I wanted to show you guys how to get some good ways to promote SF on your sites or other places!
First things first is you should get your friends to join from work, school and other places. Have a friend that is having a rough time? Tell them that this is the best place to go if you don't want to meet with a guidance councilor etc.
Here is a code that you can put in your signature if you really want to get some people. I suggest you use TINYURL to get your items shortened so it fits in signature spots (This was formatted to go into HF, but should work other places too). obviously switch to your refer link that you can find under the invite button (![[Image: invite.png]](https://www.supportforums.net/images/support/toplinks/invite.png)
):

Supportforums is one of the best places to go to get mature advice! Click my sig to register! You can post not logged in for anonymous help to do so, just go to www.supportforums.net
Code:
If you are on forums where people are asking for advice, do not tell them to just come here. It makes you seem like some ridiculous spammer and for the most part, they wont check it out. Give them some enlightening advice of your own and then say that you would advise to get some more great advice like that come here. Advertising with some sort of personal touch directed to a member is a lot more touching then a Canned speech that anyone can do.
You could also hold contests.
If you are on a forum you could offer some sort of needed/important item if they reach blank amount of posts and first one to it wins. It's definitely a great way to get lots of people to the site, and some will end up getting stuck on the site and there's a good way to have some help.
This is a thread you can post at forums (OTHER THEN HF. Also if you see it on a forum already, don't post it again. We all know how much we hate when people do that kind of stuff.

Code format for all of you of the thread.
This is my final thought that I may do.
Brochures. I might make a printable brochure that you guys could post somewhere around neighborhoods etc. I might make them to put in my school. I'm not too sure yet, but it's a good idea. If anyones interested in helping me with this, PM me.
