Marketing techniques would be greatly arpreciated! Thanks

I think that the best way is not to simply SEO the site, what you really need is a good digital marketing agency like http://www.searchoptimist.co.uk
On their website they say that best way to advertise a social network is to use social media to spread the word about it, go to gay forums and search for gay communities online and offer a unique selling point.

Then once you have visitors you can think of monetizing and creating revenue.
