Firstly, with improvements rolling out on the site, I think all of us are slightly more motivated. I actually have completely lost interest in the site, but I've been here for 7 and a half years so that's to be expected. With the brass actually wanting to bring some technological improvements around here, then we can help out the recruiting process. Here's a couple of suggestions I think will make a big difference.

1) Utilize Twitter:- I was speaking to NOBLE about this. Like a month ago, one of our twitter guys got Conceited to shoutout LB to his 67k followers. One person retweeted his shoutout, the LB page, and that's it. None of us even knew about this. It should have been circulated around the entire site, and all of our twitter using faggots could have gave a boost to it. Twitter is a powerful tool for businesses in this day in age. The most important aspect of this is followers, and generally the best technique to get followers it to follow everyone. I think whoever we have running the twitter, or potentially a new person, could spend ages over there getting LB connected. Just sit there and click the follow button for an hour straight. Get LB following everyone, which in turn will result in people following LB, people thanking LB for the follow, and most importantly people having LB's messages pop up on their screen. This will help with future connections with people too, because LB could use Twitter to promote other people's music or websites or whatever too. Hell, the LB twitter page is named "My Info" for some reason.

2) Utilize Facebook - Facebook works slightly differently. We don't need people following the FB page, but we can use it to promote the site around everywhere. There are loads of battle groups on Twitter where no one knows about LB. In addition, there are loads of rap pages in general that could be promoted on. I'd imagine the official Eminem page would get hundreds of posts on their pictures or whatever a day. If you could spread LB around pages like that, then you're opening yourself up to a market of people that weren't doing stuff before. I did this on my original Bebo battling page, which ended up with 16k views and 1k members, which is fairly massive for something like Bebo.

3) Youtube Promotion - You guys have all clicked instrumentals on Youtube and seen every single guy in the comments dropping lyrics. There are people, writing their shit...and they aren't on a website like this. There are thousands of people doing this, so how many of them do you reckon might be up for joining a site like this?

4) Connecting with Rap Sites - There are Hip Hop News sites, black culture sites like Black Planet, World Star Hip Hip etc. which all have a heavy following of rap fans. If LB could get an advertisement on one of those sites, or perhaps try to get an article posted on one of those sites, that could be great. One thing MMATycoon does, a website I'm on, is offer people bonuses for using an account named MMATycoon.com on other MMA websites. While we wouldn't have bonuses, we do have a site full of people who go on sites like these anyways. Get a few people to post around the net under the name Letsbeef.com with their sig having some information about freestyling and battling on the website.

5) Get Real Rappers Involved - Back in the day, LB exploded on the scene through the Lil Flip shit. This was a real rapper willing to battle our Grand Champion. I believe it didn't pan out, but it got LB some mass exposure. Now only is that something we could try and do again, but we already have big name rappers out there like Conceited and Charron with histories on LB. If we could try and convince one of them to jump on here and do an audio battle with one of our guys, that would really get a lot of people on LB looking at us.

There's a lot of stuff we can do which doesn't seem too difficult. Pugz and Mic Check already have a decent amount of connections and we've been promoting them through the Twitter page already. This could easily be boosted and capitalized on through web mediums. Make LB look like it's doing something big for upcomming artists. Try and get the guys we're promoting on the site, or at the very least get them to return the favour by shouting out Letsbeef to their twitter followers or whatever.

Food for thought.
