I hadn't actually planned on targeting the teenie-boppers, but I think you make some excellent points and I may have to consider re-considering that :). I'm not currently ACTIVELY seeking investors, no, but if one showed up on my doorstep I would most definitely invite him/her in...and then rob him/her! Thanks Lakira! Yep, there will be plenty to do for those who do not wish to submit video's of their own. You can come up with new contest ideas, rate videos, leave comments, earn Grapebucks and buy stuff, or just kick back and enjoy the show ;). Thanks for the feedback Rubin.

I hope that you have started pushing it to the market, because the market will tell you what adjustments you may have to make. <strong>My First Impression Promotional Ideas</strong> I know that you have your own ideas about how to promote GrapeShow, but I would push if directly at preteens and teens (really! I wouldn't worry about any other demographic at this time.) at the beginning. These are early adopters (They get excited about new ideas fast) who will try anything and give you early feedback. Develop a relationship with them. Promote it everywhere they are. Create a Myspace page. Make adjustments rapidly before it makes it's way up to older, more serious users. The ideas are trifold: 1. Develop a rapid critical mass of users. 2. Work out the kinks with forgiving users who will be honest with you. 3. Create early viral marketing. If it catches on fire, it will find it's way right up the age and quality range. This is very exciting. Please continue to keep me informed. Are you currently seeking investors?
