How do I get more riders involved in this site?

Is there some way you can get me flyers that I can hand out at events here in cali.

I think you just have to get the word out. If you are coming to the Round up...print up some fliers and hand them out. If you put it out there, people will come. I stumbled upon it while trying to find out more info on the Round-up is how I found it.

I tryed to get some friends migrated over to this site from another local RIDING CLUB site but it just didn't seem to get any traction.

I also tryed to get these same folks over to "BikerOrNot" but that didn't seem to attract much action either.

I think this is a great site and enjoy it very much. Perhaps it's too good by offering too many features making it more difficult for the less tech savvy folks?

I was really hoping this site would've become more active since I like talking with people from different parts of the country and I would like to know what kinds of issues ridings in other parts of the country are dealling with on a local/state level.

Best regards. Asylum

"NETCYCLES" let me give you some very good advice on this question that i already use in my own online jewelry business.

I'll tell you when you give back to the people they'll come to you for sure, and what i mean is that you can do American Express gift card giveaways, grocery store gift card giveaways, gas card giveaways etc.

I use this form of advertising in my own business and it keeps my business with new customers who'll buy from me over alot of other online webstores because i'm giving them what the others will not or have not.

EXAMPLE: When someone buys an item of jewelry from my webstore, i'll surprise them with either a "FREE" gift of jewelry, or an American Express gift card, or a grocery store gift card.  When they receive their order they're "SURPRISED" at the extra gift they got from me for "FREE" and guess what they do? they tell others about my webstore and i and i now have new business just because of my random act of THANK YOU FOR YOUR BUSINESS SENSE. 

Word of mouth advertising alone is fine, but when you're giving away "FREE" gifts to people who support you, the mouths of people will not stop running and this is one of the best ways to say thank you for supporting me.

You can do a flyer letting new perspective members as well as current members know that you're going to be "randomly" giving away prizes to members who sign up here or have the most comments on their topics they post.

Members who bring the most "NEW MEMBERS" here who sign up and contribute on your website for atleast 2 months could receive even better gifts or priviledges.

I think this is a very good start Netcycles and i do feel it'll work for sure because it works for me.  My motto is "if you want to get, you have to give in order to appreciate the business you have."

Netcycles i have another GREAT IDEA for your site!

Why don't you have a "SO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE BEST LOOKING BIKE CONTEST" that other members here can vote on by way of a poll.

Interested people could post a photo of their bikes here and we could vote on who has the best looking bike by way of an online poll.  There should be a deadline for all votes on which bike looks the best.

After the votes have been counted the winner could receive an American Express gift card, or gas card in any money denomination of your own choice.  With this idea you can create your own prizes to give away to the winner or winners of it.

I think this would be a very good way to bring attention to your website, because you know many people love showing off their prized possessions, that's why car shows do so well because the owners of them wants the public to see what they're working with.
