Some steps on bringing new active members to the site
Yo.. since i have been on some of the forums lately, on the basis of my analysis I'd like to make some points on how can we bring more active members to the site.
1. Target India and Africa : Title is enough, I see loads of Indians and Africans (Specially Nigerians and Botswana rappers) coming in this Rap battle scene and staying active for long. Though, 4/10 guys have that potential to improve while the other 6 would at least help in boosting forum activities lol. So, targeting these members is the key. Now, the main problem in Nigeria and Botswana is most net connections are proxy based which doesn't allow them to signup on LB. Also, most Indians (on the basis of my experience on Facebook) think that the rappers on Letsbeef are too dope for them and they would keep losing battles lol.
2. Promoting LB on Facebook Groups : Facebook is the place where most of the freestyle battles as well as other text battles happen, those battlers are willing to do audio/video battles but mostly judges there are too lazy to check soundclouds and youtubes and vote accordingly thats why such battles are generally slept. LB has a wonderful platform for audio/video battles and we all should spread the word from LB.
3. Promoting LB on other Sites : Most easy way, signup on other rap battle sites and promote LB there. We may easily get more members since LB has the best platform for battling. We all can link them some battles and show them how votes are hidden here and how things are kept fair at its best.
4. Referral Contests? : Pretty much good idea.. unless someone makes 10 fake id's to win lol. But we can avoid such shit by keeping restrictions like, the referral would be only counted once the referred guy completes at least 5 battles and 10 forum posts. We may make the rank table and the guy with highest referrals at the end of the month gets something.
5. Conducting Events Together : We may approach admins of other websites and offer them to conduct events together. For e.g. A video battle event. Battles would be conducted on Letsbeef, all participants must be members of our as well as their site and battles would be posted on both sites as well as promoted on facebook pages of both sites but would be judged on letsbeef since we got better video section. This would be beneficial to both the sites and once such events with that "Rise Together" slogan are successful may be we may get more such sites asking us to conduct such collab events.
Thats all that came to my mind lol... drop your views and ideas on it . Thanks
