Need Help! Where can I advertise my classic game books at?

Post by onemanfilmcrew »

OK, I need some help finding places to advertise The VGA at (www.TheVgaTV.com). I already have an ad coming out in the next issue of Video Game Trader magazine, and have determined that places like Kotaku are way out of my price range. I am more than likely going to take out some ads/sponsorship of some classic gaming conventions across the country, but after that I'm kind of out of ideas.

Anybody have some ideas of where I should spend my limited advertising budget?

I am unsure if they have an issue coming out any time soon but I would try here.

I might just be missing it, but I see exactly zero ads on the racketboy.

If you post topics about the VGA, you will be immediately targeting the people that are most likely to buy a classic gaming anything

I have been doing that, but I also have a small advertising budget in order to get the word out to people not on here. There are millions of gamers out there, and only a few thousand on here, and I'm trying to get this out to as many people as I can. I really want this to work, because not only would it be nice to not have to wait tables anymore, but it would be great to be able to focus full time on something that means a great deal to me, as well as a ton of other people.

Maybe you could work something out with him to sell the magazine in the racketboy store?
