Note: Posting once in a forum or a website is great but not enough. Once you've posted, put a link on the puddle to the exact URL of your promotional post so other puddlers can go and add comments to your posts to keep it lively. This is an important step as it will keep the promotional post at the top of the list on the website and in some cases (such as Rythmism.com, push the party higher on the list of parties.
- Personal Emails lists: Friends contact friends about the party (1 email a week before the party and a second email the day before the party)
