How do I get people to post funny videos or jokes to my site http://ShowMeSomethingFunny.com ?

I started this site a while ago ( http://ShowMeSomethingFunny.com ) to post funny videos, images, and jokes that I found... it was basically a way for me to pool all the funny things I found or was sent to me in one place... kinda like a bookmarking site for myself. As it turns out, it now has about 100 unique visitors/month... so I put some Google Ads on it with the intention of lending any monies coming in via Kiva.org. I noticed that the more content there is, the more $ it makes... so I want to get others to make funny posts.

What is the best way to encourage/recruit/motivate others to post?

I love jokes and funny stuff, so I am going to visit your site. So you've made at least one new fan with this post!
Asker's Rating:
• Thank you for the feedback - and your support.
I'm trying to raise $100/month via this site to donate via Kiva (Kiva.org)... any assistance, feedback, and spreading word-of-mouth would be appreciated.

Best,
/F

Setting up a monetary reward system seems to draw traffic and contributions. Take a closer look at Mahalo's setup. It might be worth implementing a similar arrangement.

You might even host a page on Mahalo that gives more information about your site. Or create a partnership with Mahalo like ConundrumLand did. There aren't very many contributions under Humor here anymore. Maybe links and imports from your site would spice things up for everyone!

There are following sure-shot ways;

i. Post the link to your site in all the e-mails you sent. You can use the link as a signature to the e-mails. You can keep your professional or business mails out of this.

ii. Post the above URL (link) in all related group discussions, forums, groups, social networking sites, Twitter, discussion threads etc.

iii. You can also avail some free advertising services available on the internet.

They will increase traffic to your website and eventually interested visitors will contribute their jokes therein.

All the best!
