Apparently I suck at promoting my own websites… I’ve been trying to get my new user submitted art blog Untitled Image going for almost a month now, but submissions are far and few between still.
Perhaps I’m not being shameless enough? I tried a giveaway in hopes that I could get people to Tweet the link out for me, plus have incentive to submit art. It didn’t catch-on nearly as well as I had hoped, perhaps due to my Twitter followers not being artistic enough.
I’ve also started a Facebook group, but those seem about useless… You can easily get friends to join them because people just seem to accept almost anything you send them on Facebook, but I’ve noticed most people just ignore Facebook groups even once a member.
Friends suggested opening a MySpace page too, but I’m unsure of how to use it to my advantage. I was thinking about creating a quality profile layout that I’d giveaway for free that would also include a plug for Untitled Image, but I’d also have to promote that on MySpace itself (I hate MySpace)…
Perhaps I just haven’t networked enough to get sponsors and people to help promote the site? What am I doing wrong?
