For an invite only site, you could make some catchy splash pages. Promote them like crazy. Think outside the box. Splash pages can be used to generate sign ups to you list so offer something appealing and free of charge in order to entice sign ups. Social network, get to know others in your niche and when you find a need for the product or service you have to offer, ask your new found contacts if they would like to take a look. I also look in forums and such. Sometimes you can find people who are seeking the type of information, product or service that you have to offer so you can send them your contact info. The bottom line with a invite only is that you are going to have to get people interested enough to just contact you so that you can invite them eventually, If what you have to offer is something that they need and can benefit from. It is never easy to get referrals to invite only so you need to network in a very big way. Talk to many people daily. When you find people who are in need of what you have to offer, be sure to get to know them better before propositioning them with your offer. What you could do too, is write articles talking about your niche. Leave a way to contact you for more information. Post some attractive stats if possible as that is enticing as well. Always have something to offer people that is useful, fulfills their need and is at no cost, expecting nothing in return and you will build a large network of people, who in turn you can direct contact with similar offers in the future. Good Luck.
