How to promote a product that is totally pioneer?

Hey Warriors,

I have a product (specifically a startup website) that is totally new and there has been nothing similar to it before.

[The site is chilledlime.com]

My simple question: How should I promote it? How should I get people to sign up to the mailing list? (I only get 1-2 users per day to sign up)

Maybe PPC (I just got 100$ for it ), Facebook, Twitter (Already got 110 followers) and guest posts (already pitched a few bigger [alexa <10,000] blogs -> got 50-60 signups a day).

A new thing that struck to my mind is infographics:
1.) Making an cool and interesting infographic
2.) Getting it featured at a big blog/social bookmarking site with a link to my actual startup
3.) Getting tons of not so targeted traffic

What do you think? Is it worth it? What should I do? :confused:

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Akos

    Hey, I recommend you check out my response in this thread, which should answer your questions!

    Also, it may be only me but when I open the site it's not obvious to me what the site is about, at first glance.

        Dude love the premise.....but it almost seems to me like u are more of a "tech guy". Brighten up that site and like someone else said.......it needs to scream out what the hell it is.

        With some tweaks you could have a winner.

        God knows there's a lot of peeps who make it their passion to bitch and whine about anything....so your gig might just crush for real.

        Best of luck.


        peace, Vegas Vince

    Okay. The only thing I got from looking at your site is that it has something to do with debates. If I came upon it randomly I would click away immediately. I would not click the video because you haven't given me any compelling reason to click it.

    You need to get a nice little grabber of a headline up there and follow it with a compelling explanation of why you site is cool and why people should care. Until you do, you could have a cure for loneliness and no one would know. Good luck
