How do you get college students to sign up for your app?

Hey, I just released wiredclan.com. It's basically a social blogging platform, exlusively for tech students. I got an amazing review for my landing page from one of the hackers here (shoutout to @Jorsoi for his review thread!). So I was curious what other gold nuggets the community can suggest?

Here's what I've come up with so far:

  • Find college tech groups on Facebook (and spam there?).
  • Ask my sister who's in college.
  • ???

I do have access to my college's network so I have a few initial users but how do I reach out to other colleges?

Appreciate the inputs. Thanks!

    Find influencers who cater to your target audience and make promotions through them. Another way is to launch fb ads directly.

      Yes, I'm gonna prioritize finding influencers. Seems like a good way!

    I did a targeted micro ads on Facebook and Instagram with the right audience selection and it seemed to pick up. May be you can give it a try. Costs about 3 dollars a day.

      Damn. That's kind of nuts. I didn't know FB ads can so cheap and targetable.
