Starting December 21st, I'm going to invest a bunch of money into Google Advertising again, I'm gonna deposit about $50. This will be enough to bring in 8-10 members a day for about 10 days (most likely 100 members within 10 days), so this is basically a heads up.

Also, if anyone wants to donate money to Vizzed Board, that'd be great, this would be the best time!

If you donate $5, that would probably bring roughly 8-10 members. I would also award you 8,000 Viz!
(this is a great deal because I usually only award 5000 Viz per a US $5 donation...even though no ones donated yet, that is about how much Viz i'd award for a $5 donation)

I figured that Christmas break is when people have the most freetime, and most people will be on christmas break between Dec 21 - 31, so in my opinion it's the best time to advertise.

From an intellectual-strategic perspective, this is also wise in the sense that people usually feel at ease during christmas break and are usually in better/happier moods, they usually get into a certain mood, and when these users are enjoying themselves on christmas break, the ones who register will have more freetime than usual and will have a better chance at posting more. If they enjoy themselves enough they may continue to come back to bring back that feeling that they had when they first started posting on the board. Might not make sense, but I know it's a plan that should work...afterall, Vizzed Board's most active months have been late December.

Wait a second Dragon Master, I've already done this before. I've done a lot of trial and error. If you hadn't noticed, a while back we went about 10 days where we received about 36 new users (source: https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/stats.php).

I tried many things out and found out that when I advertised on this one RPG site, that %25 of the users who came to my RPG Maker site, registered to the board. I think I spent about $15 of advertising on that RPG site and I received about 12 new members from that site. I can verify this to because of Google Analytics. As a web designer, I've researched and studied SEO.

Although the Trusted Members wouldn't know about my previous advertising because I think I made the thread about it in the staff forum...but lets just say I spent about $130 worth of Google Adwords credit to advertise this board and my own vizzed.com site (to get some freelance work). This somewhat explains why there's been 50+ newbies in the past month.

Yeah, actually I sorta trick them to join. They get to my Game Creation site where I have a few game creation programs available for download, they click it, and it brings them to the board and says they need to login/register to download the file.

Google has Adwords which lets you set up ads for when people search certain keywords. Like I could have it so when someone searches "RPG Maker 95", my site comes up (even though it already does). Another thing with Google Adwords, I can put my ad on a ton of different sites, even many big name sites like IGN.

I already know doing this works because I've already done it and have been gain 50+ members from it. And though most don't post, about 10% have and a few of them have made more than 10 posts, and who knows, they may stick around. So it's worth it.

Every bit helps. $5 could bring up to 10 members, and possibly 1-2 semi-active member.

Awsome, that'd be great Canarith and Stephen!
If you both sent me $10 each, between you 2 and John, that's $30...which would be enough to bring an extra 60 members and 6 active members, so it's well worth it!

No deadline at all, whenever you can send it, just PM me

Also, I plan to make a "Generous Member" board that displays all the great people who have donated to Vizzed Board, so all these donations will be on that list.

The wave has begun, expect to see the activity start to come in sometime today. This will go on until January 1st.

John was the only person to donate, he donated $10 (thanks john). I also used $60 of my own money, so this will definitely bring in a lot of traffic.
