Ways of getting people to sign up to VCW:
Well, you guys all know the drill. This is something Robb originally did on FMW and I’d also like to do this. We want some revolutionary way of advertising and I’d like to hear your suggestions on it. Details are still to come, but there will be a brandsplit in the future. That means that we need to get our roster size up.
Suggestions? Comments? Random Matt Dunn remarks?

A few things I'm hoping you guys can help us with:
Vote for VCW! The links are in the newsfader and try to at least vote for us once or twice a day! This way, we'll move up relatively fast and more people will become aware of us!
Word of Mouth - Obviously, this is how VCW got its current roster. Tell your friends about us. Try to get people to sign up.
Make Wikipages for your superstars and link to the VCW wikipage with them!
Search for "Vendetta Championship Wrestling" on Google (add the "" ) and click on the link to direct to the site, increasing our views on Google. Go crazy!
I would really appreciate more suggestions.

Affiliate Programs. Lots of feds have them, and it's something that brought a very good success rate to FMW. Go into talks with other feds about starting your Affiliate program today!

Build a road. Those bitches generate a shitload of traffic over here where I live, makes traveling a pain in the ass.

roads...pfff everyone builds roads, why not get some horse and buggies and get some nice sloppy dirt pathes going. That will generate traffic.

Cross promoting with some other feds other than the 'parent' feds of VCW (FMW and LPW) might be beneficial.
Which leads me round to; strangely, DUW (Divas Unleashed Wrestling.)
Of all the e-feds I've seem, the majority seem male dominated. And when I say male dominated, I mean male dominated stealing actual characters.
But I think if we did some cross promoting with DU, or managed to aquire some of teh ladiez/guys who play ladiez, and formed a Womans Division, it'd spark a little interest just because we're doing something different, you know?
Maybe it's just me.

DUW sounds good, but I've always been turned off by guys e-fedding as hot pieces of ass.
If the Women's Division takes off, why not we get Becca Roberts from FMW? It looks like she's heavily out of place there, anyway.

um. I could create a music video and put it on youtube with the link to our site. I could have our theme music on it with our logo or something. With random advertising messages.

Facebook. Join one of the E-Fed replated groups (search "efed" to find a few) then advertise. That might work.
The big issue is getting off the ground. Looking around, it seems most feds last 3-6 months, if we get over that barrier while exposing ourselves to as many people as possible, we will succeed.
Another idea, I know we are young in terms of how long we've been around, but damn, we are good. Maybe we can look at a cross promotional thing with another fed. Maybe a PPV or something.
The fed should be aiming to get an FMW/LPW esque reputation. Most Fedders know there are these two superpowers in the fedding world out there, and most know someone who has/is associated with them.
Hell, the number of AIM convos I've had because "Oh you're C.G.Smitten/Tromboner Man from FMW/LPW, Come join my fed, cause your from there and must be awesome and we need great guys like you to help insire our roster" is lengthy. The fed can (and should aim to) get a reputation like this, while seperating ourselves off from being a spawn/offspring of FMW/LPW

Which, strangely, leads me right back to DU. If you youtube Divas Unleashed, you're likely to find a few videos; Admittedly, they're cheesy popsongs that I find myself embarressed to admit I'd listen to, (I have a Metal-head image to maintain,) and they're filled with various hot chicks in various stages of nakedness, but the video looks well done, and displays the 'talent' of the fed instead of say, the FMW Anxiety video Celt made which is just a bunch of unrelated guys wrestling, with roster pictures and the seven deadly sins cropping up in places. Check them out if you're going to do a video; it might be more work, but I'm sure it'd look better if we could use clips of our 'wrestlers' instead of just graphics to music. In combination with a facebook efed group, it could work. It shows we go the extra mile...

The fed can (and should aim to) get a reputation like this, while seperating ourselves off from being a spawn/offspring of FMW/LPW Hehe, I've had this treatment as well. One fed (GCW) was trying to sign me up, the guy trying to recruit me said they had a list of guys they were looking to sign and "Romeo Vizzini" was apparently in big, bold, gold letters. I didn't join because I wasn't too fond of their style, which was using SvR 08 to sim matches. Naturally it was up to the AI. Homi and De joined though. Anyway, when you think about it more, Facebook seems like a very obvious path to go. I'll go about and see what I can do towards making us a VCW group. As for cross-promotion, what I want to happen first is to successfully cross-promote us in both FMW and LPW. Why? Because this fed still mostly runs by word-of-mouth by members of FMW and/or LPW. It would be easier if we made ourselves fully known by way of appearing in our "parent" feds instead of whispering and IM-ing any guys we're interested in. I know it's harder to do so in LPW but I think the stage for a cross-promotion could be set right after AR4. I know it will eventually happen, but something in me wishes it could be done sooner because really, I don't want to work while theoretically our parent feds aren't quite acknowledging us yet.

Well speaking on behalf of FMW (because I am pimp like that) I don't think we would have a problem doing cross promotion since you haven't been stealing members. Just asking them if they'd like to take part here as well. That and well, you take part there too, and we have a soft spot for our members what with it being a rather tight knit community.
Your best bet would be to talk to Jaro though and see what he says on it since in the end he gets final yay or nay to a lot of things.

We have already talked to the J-man already about this, he mentioned that he was busy, but that was before Death Row. Maybe now would be a better time.

They are a glutton for punishment from me. I joined up ages ago with Homi and Rikky-Boy (Thats the Diabolical One). In the 6 hours I was a member, the three of us totally tore that fed a new anus, and PWNed the owner to oblivion, and his three GM's whichw ere the daughters of Jean Grey, and "Can't be Owned." Litterally, that was his defence the first time we owned them "Juu cant own the GM's, they are mutants and the daughters of Jean grey from X men, thus can't be owned and will kill you forit. If you want your character to live, then stop" Rik then did a paradoxial owning promo, which got a "Stop it guys" repeat last speal, with a this is your final warning. Cue Tromboner Man Explodition, and I was over it. Too Easy. Makes me laugh.

What the hell kind of fed is that when it has X-Men in it!? I've been in strange feds before but that may take the cake...
Though I did almost join a fed once where a guy had a character who could switch bodies and such. That was weird, lol.

One thats not worth your time.
They made Homicide lose a match because his 7 page "RP" was too long for their 3 x 1/2 page "RP's" others posted.

I would have signed up as Wolveryans, the son of Wolverine. And then I would have said the GM couldn't kill me because I would instantly regenerate. Pawnage.

Okay people, back to this square. Finding new members. How to do it and how to get it done. I swear, if someone can bring me 10 new members, they get a bloody world title shot, lol.

^ I actually second that. Title shots abound.
