Hi All :D ,

What do you think the best ways to get new members to PCHHQ? we are thinking about Google ads but that costs money and we are a non-profit site. Got any other ideas we need help!!

Well I am very active on Yahoo Answers and Questions and I will start leaving a link to the site with every question that I answer, which is about 15-20 a day. Other than that I don't know how else I could help promote the site.

Some websites will all you to put up a free ad for a small amount of time. You should try that out.
I believe
Myspace.com
Facebook.com

do this...
There are also other websites like ebay, but are free to post ads.

Well the sites I used to post ads were not ebay, but you can buy and sell stuff on them. I'll try and dig up there URL and post them when I can.

I'm creative, but I don't have the tools I use to. I gave that computer to my father, because the one he had kinda got fired in a power surge.

I have set up Posts around Myspace and Facebook.
If you have facebook, go to market place and place a post you might see mine there. There is a link to make that an ad.
If you have a myspace, you can also post ads on there as well. I believe if you scroll down you will run across and place to post your ad... Once you create the ad it will be posted for 30 days, once your done. You can make the ad more permanent by paying for it.
I hope this helps :D
Let me know if you get a spike in memebers? B)

I don't know if I'm what is considered "good", though. v_v.
I'd say I'm alright, however. O_O.
