Announce that sometime within the first 10 days of its launch your service will float one fake news story or headline amid the stream of real news. The first reader to email you identifying the fake wins the coveted $1K "User Editor at Large" award. In addition to the money give the winner a temporary featured column on your site. If the contest generates interest, repeat it as often as you can afford to -- perhaps quarterly? Good luck!
