Marketing ideas required for a chicken and egg situation! No money for marketing

[sarahr]

We have little money left to spend on the marketing of ballz.com a new sports social networking site. We need to find ways to tell the world without spending very much money! …. before we can PR it to the likes of tech crunch and mashable etc ..

We’ve done most of the onsite SEO work we can and we are looking for some killer ideas to attract users to the site on a shoe string budget.

Can anyone help?

It’s a fantastically capable website to connect people of all sporting ability or disability. Users can personalise their own selection of sports (over 200 popular and niche sports available), meet friends, manage teams and leagz, listen to news and read about their favourite sports, blog and comment on sports they’re interested in, get mobile alerts and updates, find local sports facilities and services and shop for products for over 200 sports.

Thank you!

If you don't have money to spend you have to work hard thats all.

Your best place would be other social networking sites to start with. Visitors from mySPace, FaceBook would be very targeted for your site.

Then there are forums, classified ads, blog comments ... and many other methods you could use to pull in traffic.

Actually, internet has a lot of resources and freebies that you could use to do online promotions.. Social networking, bookmarking, etc. are some of the effective ways of getting traffic.
