'Ning' star to advise on new UK focused project
Excuse the poor subject title but I didn't quite know how else to put it. Hopefully this is the correct forum category, the only other area I saw it could have gone in was the 'Looking For..' section. So apologies in advance if this shouldn't go here.. Anyway, onto the issue.
Without giving too much away, the site will be a social, professional network for UK members within the 'services' sector. I've done all the research I possibly can for this initial stage one of build. Realised the gap analysis, bought the domain, pretty much done setting up Ning, waiting on the site-wide customised graphics to come back and now I feel like I have hit a bit of a brick wall. What I'd really love is for someone whose also been in this situation before to help advise me with what to do next. I wasn't plannign on placing any content on the site as the nature of Ning is that it should build itself, but I'm not planning on anyone visiting a blank site either.
I have several ideas with ways forward and I feel that I've read all of NING's offerings of 'Tips & Advice'.. the conudrum is really not being able to choose the next 'appropriate' also the most 'effective' way to move forward.
Options I'm considering for stage 2:
Look forward to any replies.

Options I'm considering for stage 2:
- Mass-email invite
- Snail mail drop to sector HQ' branches introducing the site
Look forward to any replies.
