I know most people like to start off with their friends and family, but I wanted to get traffic from others before sharing it with my inner circle. When I share it with them, I want it to already have traffic. Thanks for sharing.
Hey blossom it's interesting that you say that because nearly 3 months ago I was in the exact same position as you are right now. I think it's best for you to share a personal achievement such as running a blog with your inner circle. You will be surprised at the support you will get from some, and yes the others may think your crazy. But the weight of 1 persons support is worth more than 10 other peoples negative opinions, IMO.
When I started this forum I sent 1 mass text message to some friends and family, spammed them right in their text message inbox! Lol anyway alot of them ignored my text message, for some unknown reason!, half of them had absolutely no idea what it was I was sending them, but a few of them joined up and we started chatting. It's been great to share this resource with some of my good friends so I say share it straight up with the people you know, you want to make it grow on a solid foundation and this is as good as any organic online traffic you can get and it's free; word of mouth.
