WE ARE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A CONVENTION OF SORTS. I AM TRYING TO GET SOME INPUT ON WHERE YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO GO SO WE CAN LOOK INTO OUR OPTIONS FOR A VENUE. WE ARE SHOOTING FOR MAYBE LATE SUMMER. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD SUGGESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER POLL TO SEE HOW INTERESTED EVERYONE IS IN GOING. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP/SUPPORT. PAUL

Registering your site in all the major search engines is always a good idea.
I also liked the fact that you put in all the important meta tags in your html source file - that'll help search engines find the site.
There are other ways and means of improving search engine results (through referals on other sites, for instance - you'll have to look
into that).
You can also try a variety of forums around the world. Just post a message on them referring to your site. That will also generate more
traffic and visitors to your site.
You can use search engines to find related sites and ask their webmasters to include you in their links page.
By the way, the wikipedia link was a great idea. That's how I found this site. Work along these lines to generate more site traffice and visitors...
Good luck. :)
-
Great ideas fellas. I added a Banner on my MySpace site too. May get a few more...  ;)
-
I'm going to email Tony from baldrus.com.
If you don't know the site, it's a great site but they have no message board. There used to be one, but it got attacked with spam by people from the hair replacement industry(no, I'm not kidding).
Hopefully he can point people in the direction of this forum...
-
Email sent.
-
Thx Sean and welcome to our lil corner of the web. :)
-
seanc7nyc,
Thanks for sending that email to Tony! I had already emailed him to let him know of the site, but I didn't ask him to point people here. I know he likes the site, so hopefully he'll take to your suggestion.
Thanks again man! You're immediate involvement on the boards is awesome!

Hell yeah!...
Let's get some more peeps on here...
You guys rock!

I just posted another topic here: http://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/index.php?topic=156.from1160285506;topicseen#msg682 on a way you can promote Sly Bald Guys. Check it out!
-
Another way you can help promote Sly Bald Guys...
Bookmark SlyBaldGuys.com on sites like del.icio.us, furl, StumbleUpon.com, blinklist, spurl, etc. You can do this pretty easy by clicking on this link: Social Bookmark This Page (http://ekstreme.com/socializer/?url=http%3A//www.slybaldguys.com/&title=Sly%20Bald%20Guys%20-%20Community%20for%20Bald%20Men)

t-shirts (hopefully in the works?), put a free (or cheap) ad on as many sites with "Project Wonderful" (http://www.projectwonderful.com/) advertising as you can... while it's still new there's probably a lot of free spaces to bid on (make a button for my site Tyler... you can advertise for free).
Aaaaannnnd, sharp looking car stickers! You're a mobile billboard even if they're small and tasteful rather than those huge awful ones. I've ordered really nice small stickers from this site:
http://www.websticker.com/smallruns.htm
no order too small!
:)
-
Thanks Robert! I'll look into these tonight when I get back from the gym...better go now or I'll never leave.
T-shirts are in the works! I'm calling them tomorrow to ask a few questions and then get my order going.
-
hey tyler, i tell everyone i run into about this site. maybe some of them will join. have a few bald friends. gotta push them to be sly, right.
-
Thanks Paul!!

:)Ahoy, Tyler: RE promoting SBG, try to link up with pop television programs that feature baldies [e.g. Deal/No Deal, the Dr. Keith Ablow Show, WWE and similar pro wrestling venues, military and police programs]. Advertise in collegiate and alumni publications  that are read by young men just experiencing the onset of balding and who are desperate for advice based on living and for community. Get to them before the HCM and Bosley do. This would herald a bright future for SBG and would spare them scarring transplant procedures, squandering of money, and loss of self-esteem. It would counter the media- and greed -driven aesthetic kept in place by Hollywood and the hair "restoration" industry. Seek the endorsement of famous baldies; perhaps feature a celebrity spot in the forum. This is going to mean a lot of work for you, but it's a cause, and a praiseworthy one at that. Professor Melon

Whoa, well met Professor! I like your thoughts, Tyler, how far are we willing to go... muhahahaha

Great suggestions Melon! I did try to get Dr. Keith to mention my website on his show, but I wasn't successful at it. Maybe one day he will. I'm always looking for a way to get the site mentioned on TV, Radio, Magazines, or the News Papers/Websites. With the little money that's coming in with the site, it's hard to justify spending money to advertise right now, but those are ideas that I will keep in mind for the future.
I have set up the ability for someone to send their friends or family an anonymous invitation to Sly Bald Guys, but I have not turned on the feature yet. I'm still weighing the pros and cons of allowing someone to do this anonymously. I also need to talk to an attorney to make sure I can't get sued by allowing someone to do that. If I don't allow a person to do it anonymously, then I will still add the feature to allow others to tell a friend about our site requiring an email address.
I think the t-shirts will help spread the word as well. I'm also going to have some stickers printed up. Maybe I'll find a way to get a few in some bald celebrities' hands.
-
have you ever looked into men's health magazine, or something like that?
-
have you ever looked into men's health magazine, or something like that?
I would love to get mentioned in Men's Health, Playboy, Maxim, Stuff, FHM, GQ, or any other men's magazine. I welcome any exposure I can get. I just don't know how to go about it without paying them to advertise.
-
looks like we have a project ,huh guys? if they don't wanna put the site in there we can send yeti for some "friendly" persuasion. haha
-
 :) :)Ahoy, Tyler: until money becomes available for advertising, stickers, caps, and t-shirts are the way to go. Todd Greene has developed a kind of mystique for Headblade by including a sticker in every mail-ordered purchase. The logo is a good idea. Bald-R-Us also sells stuff to keep their profile high, and they have an annual meeting, which allows members to get together apart from the net. A lot of bald professional men are super conscious about their clothing and health, so a spot in a fashion magazine [Gentlemen's Quarterly etc.] or a health magazine [Men's Health etc.] would really put SBG on the map. It may not be the time, but a minimal fee for registering might fill the coffers and provide the wherewithall. The young guys in college and just beginning their careers should be the target group. If they knew about SBG they could be spared much misery, and you would have achieved your mission. Professor Melon

Yeah, Todd Greene has created a great image around the HeadBlade. I'm also trying to do the same with SBG.
Melon, you're right on the button with the target demographic of young guys in college. Obviously, all bald men are welcome to the site, but I started this site out with the 18 to 35 group in mind. Mostly because BaldRUS seems to be targeting the 35+ crowd
I've thought about some type of membership to help cover the costs of the site, but I would always have a free membership available.
I would also like to have a meeting for all of us one day. I think that would be cool to meet everyone in person.
-
mardi gras is coming around. hahaha
-
That would be fun. Could be dangerous too, fathers lock up your daughters!!! SBG are on the loose!!!
-
i am trying to send an email to a radio dj in nawlins. that happens to be bald. new rock station. you never know?
-
If you want to promote the hell out of sly bald guys without spending a dime is on youtube.
If we could make a funny video about bald guys with the website in the bottom right, it would definately get some traffic to the site.
It wouldn't matter what it was about, as long as there was a bald guy as the main character and it was funny.
Noner
-
Also, if we get a group on meetup.com and start meeting regionally, that would also increase awareness.
-
Of course the best way to get people to go to the site is to get your hot female friends to hand out business cards to bald guys.
I was doing a show last night in NYC and this girl handed me a business card. It was for a nail salon, but I took it because she was hot!
Hot girls = easy sell to guys. (it's marketing 101)
and to believe I took all those years of college to tell me that.
-
noner. if you wear a t-shirt that has the logo on stage it would help. hahaha
-
I propose the first meeting of SBG is in the greatest city in the world...
Chicago!!! It's in the middle of everyone, has two major airports, lots of stuff to do for some quality bald-bonding, I live close, lots of hot women for the single bald guys... do I need to keep going?
Just not in the winter, unless a free hat is included because is takes a truly tough bald guy (Like ME) to handle that type of cold without one...
-
rob, that is why i suggested mardi gras. it is close to me. and usually warm. hahaha and hell it is new orleans.

Fun times at Mardi Gras!!! Lots of flashing and looser moral standards... ;)
-
we need to find some place to gather. sounds like a good reason to save vac. days.

wonder if anyone is in the travel industry. you know to get some kinda deal on travel.......
-
;)Here's an idea: approach the razor companies and offer to plug their ware in return for the endorsement of the SBG . We've got something that they want: a specific and garaunteed clientele. Moreover, the use of the SBG logo could become a product endorsement, and you know what that could mean. Bald Guyz, Headblade, and other suppliers of baldmen's products could all be exploited for our benefit. The point is to seek commercal backing by using your legitimate constituency. There is a huge constituency of balding young men out there, whose buyng power could be tapped not only by clothiers and groomers, but also by websites that seek to inform those confronting baldness. Professoer Melon Â

Mardi gras, huh? That would be insane. We may have to work our way up that one.

Melon, you are a wise dude! I was thinking of eventually having a "convention" of bald guys. Like Melon said, we could get some corporate sponsors to help cover the costs or keep the costs down. I think we'll need to get a bit more members to convince them to do this, but I'm sure we'll get there. Many of the large corporations won't talk to you until you're in the thousands of members, but we could probably get some smaller corporations to work with us before we get that big.
I've also thought about eventually partnering with companies like HeadBlade and others by co-branding products with the Sly Bald Guy's logo. As our community grows this will be very valuable to them. I plan on approaching some companies after the first of the year to discuss partnership opportunities. I have to admit that I was not expecting the growth that we've had as fast as we've had it.
I have a feeling that 2007 is going to be an exciting time for all of us.
-
we need to find some place to gather. sounds like a good reason to save vac. days.
I think Chicago would be a great place since it is in the middle and easy to get to. I've thought about Vegas, but I think that it's too hard to keep people together as a group there. It could be a possibility if we have thousands of attendees.
I was also thinking Austin, Texas. They have a really fun scene there and a lot of hot ladies for the single guys.
I could list places all night, but we'll just have to make an annual meeting so we can visit places all over the country!

This would be awesome! I have a friend that's in film school right now. I may be able to get her to help me creat a video. If anyone has any ideas on a good script or resources to do this, let me know!

Noner, your a marketing genius! Beer companies already do it, so can we!

i think i speak for most of us when isay "Let us know what we can do." i know i tell as many people as possible.............. an anual convention sounds cool. different city every year.......hell yeah!!!!!!

Thanks! I will do. Maybe we can create a little task force to put an event together. Let's get through the holidays and start working on something the first of the year. We can shoot for an event in late summer early fall.
-
that works! ;D
-
Where do we sign up?
BTW nice new pic Burke.
-

Yes, nice pic!
I'll create a topic for it, or maybe a special board that is only visible to the "event team" so we can keep all of our thoughts in one place.

That's not a half bad thought! Pburke, we'll put you in charge of looking into our different options. ;)
-
i will start doin some lookin.
-
This is gettin exciting!!! I can't wait to meet you guys. This will be a lot of fun.
-
just no" BALD GUYS GONE WILD "stuff. agreed? hahaha
-
just no" BALD GUYS GONE WILD "stuff. agreed? hahaha
Now what fun would that be?!?!?!?!?!?
-
your right rob, that would be no fun. my bad. :-[
-
I think pburke was trying to say that there shouldn't be any video of what happens... ;)
-
now you got the idea ;D
-
Yes, video could be very bad.
-

Oh! ;D

Another way to promote SBG is to print up business cards... I thinking of doing that using the new logo in the center of the card, black background and slybaldguys.com underneath. Then pass them out to every bald guy I meet...

Feel free to do so. I already had 1000 cards made up before the new logo. They just say SlyBaldGuys.com. Then below it they say "If your bald, you're invited." They have a black background also.
If you want, I can do up a quick graphic and post it here.
-
that works T. we gotta get as many people as we can so the convention is more than just 10 of us. haha
-

HA!! Yeah, 10 bald guys in one place would just be weird! 250 bald guys in one place would be the Sly Bald Guys Army...
-
I was really wishin I had some last night at the bar. I probably saw at least half a dozen guys. Maybe more...don't remember too many details...lol
-
Here's a business card design that you guys can use. The image has two different cards; one if you want your information on it, the other if you don't. I'll also upload the .eps file so you can modify it if you have Photoshop or Illustrator. If you want me to add your information for you and send you the image, just let me know and I can do that also.
-
Here's the eps file.
You'll have to download it from the link since it's too large to post.

-
back to the idea of some kind of convention or gathering or whatever. we really kinda need an idea of how many people we are looking at so we can start looking at options.
-
T-shirts should be done today or tomorrow!! I'm pretty sure you guys will love the first round!
Paul - getting the number of people is always the trickiest part. It's like the chicken and egg delima. You can't get people to commit unless they know what they're committing to. And you can't commit to a venue unless you know how many people are committed. Let's create a goal of what we want to do, set a relative time range (ex: the month of June), and the place we would like to do it. Then we'll get a consensus on how many people would be down to doing that "X" event and then solidify the details. We can then expect 20% of the people to not make it.
I've found this type of plan works well when planning large events.
-
ok. i will do some checking on that. anyone have suggestions so i know which direction to go in. how about a poll with a couple choices?
-
Sounds good! Start a new topic. I'm thinking Chicago, Austin (Texas), New Orleans, Santa Monica (Los Angeles).
-
Austin, would be cool. I have yet to go there, but heard great things about it.
-
Here's the eps file.

Are the only two programs to open this file CorelDRAW and Microsoft Visio? Is there a free program to view it?
-
Adobe Photoshop and Illustator can open it. You can get a trial version here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en&product=illustrator
-
Cool cards!
If we start doing this, we should really trademark the logo. We don't want anybody to jack our stuff!
Tyler, to apply go to www.uspto.gov and it will cost you a few hundred bucks. PM me if you need more help.
-
i still can't see them. can you just email to me as an attachment that is easily accessible. i really can't load new programs on the office computer.

I have an old ver of photoshop and it didn't work. It is not only the newer version that read it?
-
Ahh... now I got it! Got a newer version of Photoshop. That so kicks some butt.
-
Here are a couple more files you can try to download an open:
PNG - you should be able to open this with any image viewing software.
http://www.slybaldguys.com/images/BizCard.png
GIF - you should be able to open this with any image viewing software.
http://www.slybaldguys.com/images/BizCard.gif
PDF - you should be able to open this with Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader
http://www.slybaldguys.com/images/BizCard.pdf
let me know if you guys have any problems.
-
Any sugestions on where to go to have them made? I always had the company go "here, these are your new business cards."
-
sweet. i will be looking into getting some tomorrow.
-
Yeah, I couldn't get it to open either
However, the pdf file you posted worked perfectly
-
You can always go to kinko's, office depot, staples, places like that. They will probably be the cheapest, but may not be the best quality. I got my current batch at kinko's only because I needed something quick (same day). You can also search for print shops in your area. Either way, you should point them to this thread to download the eps, png, or gif image so they can modify the image. All graphics places should be able to open them. If they ask, the font that I used is Verdana.
-
back to the idea of some kind of convention or gathering or whatever. we really kinda need an idea of how many people we are looking at so we can start looking at options.
I've been thinking this since I first heard the idea. Â 10 or so of us are the top posters and by nature of that fact are getting the most "juiced" about it. Â The next 20 members take it down to where they've posted maybe 3 times. Â How to get them fired up?? Â That is the question.
Also....you can count on about half the people actually show up.....who have showed interest and maybe even say they're gonna go.  So when we say  "Alright, we have 50 people coming!!!" that means about 20 to 25 or less.
-
I know I would like to go, but depending on the time I might not always be able to attend.
-

Yeah...that might happen to any of us.

Some jobs more then others are hard to call in sick or schedule the family vacation around. I unfortunately chose one that is fairly difficult. I love it, but when they tell me to be somewhere there is very little choice.
-
As a very patriotic civilian, I commend you for doing what you do. thank you.
-
It is a job, that I enjoy. Sometimes it means scarfice, but what job doesn't. Thanks!

I'd sport a SBG website sticker for the car. Note, I don't do "bumper stickers" though a nice clean to the point "www.SlyBaldGuys.com" underside application (sticks to the inside of the vehicle as to not get weathered, thus ugly) sticker I'd most certainly sport.

Cool! I'm working on getting some stickers printed up. They will probably just say Sly Bald Guys, without the .com, but anyone that google's Sly Bald Guys will easily find us.

Got a place on the back of the jeep ready to go for a sticker!

It would be funny to do the pop-in to haircutting places....lay some of Noner's lines on them....and then leave a card.
Video taping--hidden or otherwise would be EPIC! O0

I don't know about the legality of it.... but that would be cool to have one that looks like a plackard (sp.?)...
You know, like the Haz Mat warning diamond-shaped thingy

I'm not 100% sure about the U.S. but here in Canada you can't have anything that resembles a placard unless it is a placard, not even those ones that say Drive Safe.

Yeah, check with Moon. I'm thinking some logos, about 3x3 and some that say Sly Bald Guys that are about 5 x 2.

will do.

Hey there -
Love the site. I work in the men's health center at Revolution Health, and I'd love to talk with someone there about possibilities for partnerships with you guys. Hair loss is clearly a huge health topic for men, and it sounds like there are lots of experts around here! Hope to hear from one of the site administrators. My email is RHG.Mens.Health@revolution.com. Check out the site here (www.revolutionhealth.com) and the mens health center here (http://www.revolutionhealth.com/healthy-living/mens-health)
Thanks! Oh, and sorry to post this in the forums, but I couldn't find any email contact information.
Best
Austin

Same boat here, brutha!.....
But I just can't miss REALLY hangin' with these guys...
If I have to eat mac & cheese for a month....I'll make the sacrifice...
That's easier for me to say being down here in the States.

Ain't that the truth?!

What about a book???

That would be awesome. Have a bunch of guys that have been sly, for say at least 6 months or so, giving tips and advice. O0

Ha ha sounds good

Another creative idea Carlos, like it.

Thanks!
I lost my hair but not my brain!!! :/O

What about a book???
I'd buy a copy and a few more to give out as "not so subtle" hints for those in need! O:O

Any news about everyone getting together? I'd love to be there.

Hope you guys have a great time!
How about super imposing a photo of Tyler on a hot air balloon and doing a round the world trip??
Or is that a bit far fetched
-
Ok, I took Tyler's general design and had these made up at 123Print.com. Cost about $23 for 200 cards on nice heavy black glossy stock. Sorry, they can't mix font color like Ty's on the same line. I think it is great quality for the price.

Awesome! Anyway to get the message out!

You know what would be sweet. If you guys had some sort of flyer type thing that folks could print off and put up. Like for instance. The park where I go walking everyday has a big community board right along side the walking track. If there was some keen Sly Guys flyer I could print off, I'd for sure print off a few and stick it up. If there is one already, can you send me the link to it.
Thanks.

Good idea Kojack. I'll try to get you something.

I have a vinyl cutter at my store I use to do lettering for windows and cars, things like that. I've been thinking about putting it on the back of my truck. That is, if I have permission from the boss man.

Sure, you have permission!

Hey, can you make one that I can put on the back window of my pickup! That would be really cool to go around town with the SBG logo in the window for everyone to see.........if so how much would you charge?

I'd put one on my car too.

Sorry about the delay in replying with this. haven't been on if a few days.
I'll get the graphics outlined and cut one. Doing custom cutting is sometimes tricky. As soon as I get it done, I'll put it on my truck and post a pic.

Would like a flyer to print off and maybe a monthly contest.
Best shaved dome wins some shave oil or blades or something.
We could print off flyers announcing the contest that members could print off and post on local bulletin boards, along with the SBG website URL.
It cant lose!!!

I have been going through some old posting, early 2006, and I notice there was a convention or advertising plan then. What ever happen with those plan. I remember back in the early 90's there was a group of Flatop men that used to get together every year for their annual Flatop convention. That disappear too. I am new to all this as you all might have read my posting, but I am truely becoming a bald lover. If you guys are really interested in promoting and recruiting more guys to the bald look, well lets get working on it. We need to get together and work toward the goal of 1000 bald head. Suggestion: usmcpelon@gmail.com

It's going to be 4 months since I shaved my head bald. I have attempted to let me hair growout twice only to fail twice. I can truely say I'm bald for life. However, in these 4 months, I have been thinking about recruiting the bald population of this area into a group, club or whatever it may turn out to be. I have successfuly recruited 5 guys who are truely hardcore slybaldguys and are willing to make something of it. We have to begin somewhere, but I'm not sure whether you guys are serious about getting the national recognition you want. If only we could all setup a recruiting campaign to make this organization a more nationaly recognizable organization. How about it guy. Should we promote SlyBaldGuy by activly recruiting out in the open?
-
I like usmcpelon's idea about actively recruiting and though this may seem over the top, could you send a promotional pack to notable sly celebs e.g Vin Diesel, Steve Wilkos etc.. and do something with this?
