It seems like you were headed in the right direction with the stadium pitch bit, and you told us that Mint blogged about financial topics, but you failed to provide a solid set of marketing ideas. Should startups email bloggers? Join relevant forums? Participate in Twitter and Facebook? There has to be more to it.
I appreciate what you're going for, but I've noticed that much of your content (blogs + videos) just barely scratches the surface. Dig deeper.
