Getting members to my free social exchange site

6 replies
Hello fellow warriors
Happy new year to all of you I hope that this year is a profitable one for you all :-)
I have taken the plunge and installed a popular social exchange system (website)
You will notice that this is being used by many webmasters including a few warriors here.
I plan to develop this with some of the features others are using and some very unique features that i know will very much help those in the market for promoting not only social media but websites too.
at current i have managed to gain many members from using social media and other such sources rather than organic search engine traffic (as that's a long ball game!) In fact i gathered 50 members within 3 hours of a successful install of the system on my servers and made 2 sales (though i have temporarily taken the option to buy credits down now)
My question would be this, during the development stages i would like to be able to gain more members LOTS more members, I wondered does anyone have any ideas>> should I approach other warriors with a deal to put out a JV or have the warrior advertise this free service and free membership with a unique code for a ton of free coins for their list members or something like that
would any warriors be even interested in that at all ???
and to finish....any other ideas you may have to gain me more members to my free social exchange site
any good places for paid advertisements etc ??? I would like to retain much of the budget for development
Thank you in advance for your kind help

    To get more members you should use youtube, facebook and twitter for start building members. You could also start working on SEO. If you offer coins for new members, maybe you should offer your current members a large amount of coins for getting someone else to sign-up.

    You can also look into paid advertisement.

    Thanks, Tmill I am already doing those things and also have the video for YouTube well on its way, i can drive thousands of views a day to the video so im hoping it can become featured.
    With regards to advertising I'm looking for ideas if anyone or yourself has some good links to a place i can get contextual advertising, i.e people actually interested in getting free facebook likes etc :-)

    Just checked out your website, nice layout and easy to navigate. Out of curiosity, what software did you use to create this site? Because I found another site today offering similar services and it looks a lot like yours Likends - Growing Social Networks.

    Also to attract more visitors, try offering a small amount of free points every 24 hours, similar to youlikehits! Good luck
