How to market a site like ozbargain when it just started?

Hi all,

I'm kind of seeking marketing strategies/advices here. My question is, if you just hosted a site like this, how could you attract visitors to the site? Or else, when the first visitor comes to the site there won't be anything in the site or how it works? Would you rather have some posts created by the site admin? How do you attract users to the site initially?

What was like the infancy days of ozbargain looked like?

cheers!

    You start with the best Eneloop's deal you can find…

  • I'd get a group of friends/family to create accounts and generate a "community" online. That way when people discover the site, there's some activity, some banter and a welcoming community that would entice somebody to join.

    If you can get a grumpy uncle to play the role of jv, I'm sure you'll be successful.

    • Auntie….

  • whats the website?

  • You need a viral thread or deal that people want to tell their friends about, and they link back to the website via email and Facebook and all kinds of social media.
