How long has it been since the few thousand signed up? What is your webapp? What are the main features to keep people using it?

Couple days for about 80% of them, but the other 20 have been there through iterations for almost a year. The app is comicswap.com a handful of the new features (from the "launch" email): * Dedicated Comic Pages with Multiple Listings (no more 1 listing, 1 page setup) * Wantlist - Add a comic to your wantlist and get an instant notification when someone lists it for sale or trade! * Over 180,000 Unique Comics Available to Browse on the Site * Many Comics Have eBay and other retailers Piped In along with Users Listings for Comparison Shopping * Robust Feedback System (on swaps too!) * New Messaging & Transaction System Allows for External Swaps (you dont even have buy/sell/trade through our site to be able to track and leave feedback on your swaps!) * Mobile Design - works on phones, tablets... pretty much anything except stone slates from the prehistoric age. * For dealers and those with lots of comics to sell -- you can subscribe to a feed of items that receive more than 5+ wants from users and receive an additional bounty for listing these items for a quick sale.

  Its not bad. And very specific The specificity of your app makes it that much easier to "reach out" to your demographic. You need to be on the social networks as much as possible. for example http://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks http://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks Also go to those cos play conventions and advertise on the floor. Get a stall Maybe you already thought of all this but the biggest thing to remember is that it will take time because of how specific your app is. If you want more and more people to use the app start selling action figures/ toys/ other comic book relevant stuff I don't know anything about that stuff good luck
