As some of you know, i have a blog about the real risks of Finasteride and PFS. So far the blog has had almost 13000 page views, which is good, but very little for a huge country like Brazil. This is mainly through google searches. On a poll i posted there, 22% of the visitors declare they are thinking about taking Finasteride for the first time. I am sure the information posted there make most of them change their minds. In Brazil, Finasteride is sold over the counter and the generic form is very cheap. Most users don’t even know the comercial name Propecia, because doctors prescribe it as Finasteride. Also, most people here do not speak english. Many wont have access to Propeciahelp. Doctors precribe Finasteride like vitamins in this country. They lack the discipline and interest to inform themselves about latest medical news. And the real risks are still largely unknown or taken as a rumor.
I am thinking about advertising the blog. First i will buy a domain and link it to the page. Then i thought about advertising in billboards like this:
bauruoutdoor.com.br/
It is a very cost effective way of advertising over here. Each one costs about 800 dollars for a period of two weeks. If you pick the right one you ll get thousands of views on a period of two weeks. They are on major avenues, and traffic here is very slow, people do read them. I thought about buying 10 billboars on major cities like Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Curitiba. So it would be about 8000 dollars. I am working but i am barelly paying my bills. I have money for one, but not for all of them. So i was wondering if anyone would like to contribute. We don’t have to buy all ten at once, it can be one city a time.
We can really make a difference here, say we get 100 thousand visitors to the blog, 22.000 will be men thinking about taking Finasteride for the first time. It is 22.000 lives we can change. Don t you wish you had this information before taking it?
Brazil has a very young population and 50% of men here will develop Male Pattern Baldness. Every day new young men decide to take it for the first time.
Let me know what you guys think. Any suggestions to the blog are welcome too.
Thanks
