The_MoUsY_spell_checker's Advice Column

This is pure curiosity really, but how many Advicenators out there have recommended their friends to come to this website for advice? How did you go about doing that?

I think it would be neat to have my friends on Advicenators too so we could talk about some of the questions we saw and what we think about them. I mean, I don't plan on telling them which questions are mine, but it would be super neat to be sitting at the lunchroom and be able to say, "Yeah, did you see that one Advicenator question about... hahaha!" I am cool with them looking at my advice column so I'd tell them my name, of course, but I would probably keep my questions to myself.

What is the best approach on having a friend come to this website though? Should I just go up to my best friend and say, "Hey, I found this cool website, will you join it with me?" or what? I don't want to sound stupid but I really do want my friends to sign up!

Any advice on how to get my friends to become Advicenators too? Please and thank you!

Find an interesting question and start discussing it with your friends. Making Advicenators-related jokes might work too. For example, if anyone makes a reference to "cherry popping", make sure to say something along the lines of "There is no fruit salad in your crotch!". (Apologies to the person who originally said that.)

Linking to Advicenators from other sites is also a good idea. For example, if you're on Facebook, status messages such as "is an Advicenator" would be cool. I always mention on Facebook if I'm the featured columnist of the day, or if it's my anniversary.

If you don't mind spending some money, an Advicenators t-shirt (or other merchandise) would certainly get attention too. http://shop.cafepress.com/advicenators
