Hello All

I am launching a new social netowrking site aimed at a niceh market. I want the site to grow organically, any ideas and insights on how to viral market this new site? Thanks

actually I'm doing the exact same thing. A list of things I started doing

1. Get your friends and family who are in the niche to join
2. Get a badge or a widget that they can place on their profiles on other social networks
3. If you know where you niche hangs out. Try making some T-shirts with your logo and website and giving them away for free
4. post fliers around your town where your niche hangs out
5. If your niche is always at a certain store... try asking the owner if she'd/he'd give away fliers to every purchase if you advertised them on your site
6. keep trying and don't give up
7. Try do do something newsworthy and get free Press.

good luck to you and please let me know how it goes. and if you have any questions feel free to pm me, i'm not an expert but I'll help where I can.
