How would you "Get the Word out"?

[The Smile Guy]

Hello everyone,

I have a new blog/vlog site that I would really like to spread the word about, but I am unsure how to go about it.

The site is Gimmie Something to Eat (Link in sig)

:
We here at Gimmie Something to Eat (GS2E) wanna eat your food and help those in the world who are hungry in the process.

Sound too good to be true? Well, actually too good to pass up! Send us your food to eat. We will record us eating and critiquing your product, and entertain you all the way to the food bank.

Only one dollar a day, $1xday of the year. January 1 = $1, December 31 = $365. 2009 has been prorated until the end of the year.

We will donate a portion of our proceeds to a TBA food bank. For every day sold we will donate $1, for every month that we sell out we will donate $300. If we sell out the entire year we will donate $5000.

I have been getting modest traffic so far (only been live for 5 days), with over 1000 page views.

I have submitted to a few blog directories.

What would you do?

Ping your blog to the major sites and directories with a tool like BlogBuzzer.com

I'd find other blogs in your niche and post (good) comments on their blogs.

I think that a thousand page views in five days is pretty decent. I would recommend joining Entrecard and trying Twitter.

You can try Google Adwords.

Post some videos to Youtube and the other video sites. Put your blog's address in the bottom right of the videos, so people who like it can come to your vlog.

Use Twitter. Follow other bloggers, comment on their blogs and promote your blog.

Good advice, I also 2nd using twitter to "tweet" about your blog post

Wow,

Great advice here from all the members not sure what to add. I like the idea of the foodbank. When you write a block buster bloggery let me know and I"ll tweet it.

Apart from that I liked the Youtube idea; film yourself eating it and talking about it while you eat it?

Also the commenting is a great idea; also add the "Retweet this" plugin on your blog so it's easy for others to re-tweet.

Using Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, Blip.tv, Viddler, Facebook, Foodbuzz, Flickr, and soon iTunes.
We record the eating experience "good or bad", we just worked out a deal with a local food coop, I hope that this will eventually explode.

Thanks all!
