Private Beta Test

[TC2]

I have searched on the forum and don't find my answer.

I am wondering how to start a private beta test web site.

I know web site such as Facebook, Gmail and many other popular social bookmarking sites started with one or more of the following ways to get people signup and use it.

1. tell a friend
2. Invitation only

I am working on a new user driven site that needs to collect a lot of information prior to go public for end user to see. Otherwise the site will look empty.

What are other ways to get people contribute to the site?

I have the same question about those affiliate advertisement companies. How do they get the advertisers to provide content prior to getting affiliate to publish them? It's like a chicken and egg question to me.

Thanks!
