    Hey guys

    I just recently have created a social networking for Canadians and wanted to know how can I market a social networking site?

    What are the cheapest ways to doing so?

    I am familiar with Adwords, but am interested in different methods. Please and THANK YOU! :D

    If you only targeted canada country.
    You can use local newspaper to promote your website by buying ads at your local newspaper
    or you can spread the word by mouth and it the most effective way

    Local ways

    Make business cards and give them to everyone you meet.

    Staple the cards at grocery stores, outlet malls and laundry mats.

    Buy a magnet for your car with the site address on it

    Buy small ad space in local paper or publication

    Door Hangers

    Put a card in 100 helium filled balloons and let them go. When they land someone will see it :D

    Just some crazy ideas

    Thanx,

    You can use other social networking sites to promote your own social network. We have also launched a social network recently. You may also promote your social network there http://community.bloghology.org/home.php

    Why not use other social networking services? However you should try all possible traffic methods both online and offline. What's the website anyway?

    Craigslist | Backpage | get Myspace - Facebook and let them know about it.
