Would it be worthwhile to chat with owner of the Bushcraft UK Forum? Maybe even get a link on their Ireland meet up board?

I imagine they are one of the larger outdoor forums. I'm sure there are members from here already on it.

We'll do it for 6 and some dry paper  ::)

Actually, on second thoughts there is loads you can all do to help.

Here's a few ideas:

  • Link to NI-Wild in any profiles you have on other forums
  • If you have a website/blog or know anyone with one ask them if they will link to us
  • Torture your friends, relatives, passers by incessantly to join us and mention us to their friends
  • We're on the lookout for artwork to use to make flyers etc. If you're an arty type, make us a logo / flyer / advert that we can use
  • If you know a business that might benefit from advertising with us tell them to get in touch. We have 4,000 unique users a month looking at 50,000 pages
  • Most importantly, get on NI-Wild and organise something. The more we organise the more people we will pick up and the more fun everyone will have. People tend to sit back and wait for things to be planned that they might like - buck the trend - pick something you would like to do and invite others to join in. PM admin and whatever you are planning will go out in the weekly member email.

On the internet website popularity is dependant entirely on having other websites link to you. The more websites that link to us, the better we will perform in the search engines and the more members we will pick up.

What can users do to help keep costs down and/or generate income?

Are we not using the badge design for the logo? I hope we are as I have just ordered aload of badges with it on?

Yes, it's the current logo but there's no reason not to have a few for different uses.

but that would just confuse the matter I belive. a logo is a icon that people reconise and if you change it to offten then it could confuse people. I'm not trying to step on your toes Jonno but it is just my thoughts. (just tell me to shut up and i will  :) )

I agree; better to have one logo / icon / symbol that represents the site. I'm not in marketing but isn't it all about the brand :)

True but lets not panic about it or get too bogged down in details.
