Hey Guys,

The title says it all. I have been working on a very unique social networking website since Feb 2014 and its ready now. Now the problem is that I dont have any money left for promotion. What are the best free and effective ways to promote a social network?

    When you say unique is this a niche or demographic specific social network?

      Need to know the niche, and target market. Just think where is your target market located / what are they doing on the web?

    Start with friends and family, get them to use it and I am sure they will be hindered to take part in a new rising network.

    If you save up some money the best thing to do to get a social site or forum started is to hire people from oDesk or other freelancing sites to act as real users. Nobody wants to take part in an empty social network so when there are other people to create a foundation you should be able to attract new account pretty easily.

    Attack a local or specific market.
    Market penetration is everything with social media and sometimes to launch you do have a bootstrap budget so you'll need to come up with creative ways to capture this market.

    Have a test/beta run with select organizations for example.
    Pick movers and shakers that can help you gain adoption through their usage.

    Also it doesn't hurt to maybe use the attention and mindshare of existing social media sites to grow your base.
