A new way of promoting that wont cost us a dime
 

Last week while posting in the "Alizée viral marketing" thread started by Zeerre, I got the idea of going to college forums and posting there to promote Alizée. At that time, I joined the college confidential forum and started a thread there. Just over an hour later, they closed it because it had a link to Youtube, but in that hour, it had 75 hits.

This morning I joined 2 other forums. One called Buckeye planet (Ohio state) and another called Irish envy (Notre Dame). Just about every forum seems to have a open topic section where you can post anything. I figured it was best to post something as if I was a student there and I figured it be best to make up some type of story to get the word out there (Forgive me Lord!).
Here are links to the 2 threads.

It seems like a lot of these forums are sports oriented. That doesn't really matter because like I said, they all have an open subject section.

I did a little research on the net and found out there are over 4,000 colleges/universities in this country. I'm sure there are hundreds of forums out there.

This is a great opportunity to do some free advertising for Alizée. Wont cost us a penny. All it will take is a little time on our part.

If anyone decides to do it, use your own imagination on what to say.

Each forum seems to be different. Some don't allow links. Some you have to embed a youtube code to display a video. Some you just have to post the link that's at the top of the page.

The best time to do this will probably be in a few weeks when most colleges are back in session, but it wont hurt to register or even post now.

EDIT: I added a link to La Isla Bonita

It's a good idea. Though it won't cost anyone a dime, but it demands another important thing and that's effort.

Ah, the world is certainly round. Everything is back to what was thought at the beginning,

Idea is great...but the problem is that many forums...doesnt allow to post links....and if you do so...you get banned :D

That will never be a problem.

68 views for each of these threads in just the first few hours.

I live like 15 minutes walk from most VCU's campus in richmond, and am making friends with a lot of students there. I have slowly begun to introducve them to her. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Could you link the forum threads you've enlightened?
Would like to render your work :p

copy pasta.

Sadly the IrishEnvy thread was taken down:( But o well at least it was seen by some of them.

But yes this is an AMAMAMAZING idea!!! It takes like 2 seconds to join a forum and so I don't see why we all each should pick 5 forums and infect them with the Lilly-Bug....this can really work!

Looks like the Irish envy deleted my thread. Don't understand why. It was in a section that was open to anything. Probably because I was a newby there and maybe they thought I was just trying to do some advertising or something along that line.
But in the other forum, it's up over 120 views so far.

Edit:

Here's the one that's still active.
