Well...it's not really a "product" like most of the other stuff you see from internet marketers. It's not an ebook or a video that you can download.

I'm struggling with deciding what the best way to promote it is. I've talked to a few friends who've suggested:

1. Typical SEO campaign to try to get organic traffic
2. A WSO on Warrior Forum
3. Offering free memberships to IM gurus in exchange for a "review"
4. Some sort of Joint Venture
5. Setup an affiliate program

Unfortunately I don't have a mailing list so that's not an option.

My only experience in the above suggestions is #1, so I'm a bit nervous of trying the others because of lack of experience. I offer a free account and two "paid" accounts with more features, and I think this setup will just create confusion if I do a WSO or JV.

Any words of wisdom will be much appreciated!
I agree with the others here about using multiple techniques. An affiliate program is critical because it lets 1,000s of other people market for you.

My first product made money in its first month and went to 6 figures in one year using just one technique - ad swaps! Building your own responsive list and swapping with others who have responsive lists is the quickest way to success. Best of all, its free...
