I'm running an experiment to help shock my image posting website (http://www.ep1x.com) into growth. If this works, then this method can be used by others to help shock their projects into growth.<p>The Experiment:<p>If each person who reads this message goes to Ep1x and posts one good image and sends an email to two or more friends asking them to do the same, then it will start the website like someone applying force to a key to start the engine of a car.<p>You don't need to sign up to post an image. Just click the "Post an Image" button at the top of the screen and fill out the short form. You could also use the bookmarklet if you feel like it for fun.<p>The Hypothesis:<p>If enough people use a website as it was intended, then it can metamorphosis into something completely different than its current state. We are losing so many potentially great websites every day because the creators can't get enough initial content to make the site interesting. If creators simply ask a seed group of people to make a small contribution then we will see a surge of awesome websites come to life.<p>My Effort:<p>I will post images every day, I will spread this message to some other communities, and will post the results to this thread in one week.
