What is a good method to find participants for online research?

What is a good method/place to find participants for an online experiment?

I'm doing research for my masters thesis in psychology and I am having difficulties finding participants. I thought that it would be easier to find people online that in person, you know, cuz almost half the planet has internet access... but I'm having trouble reaching people.

I tried posting the link on reddit on a subreddit designed for finding pariticpants, but people thought i was a spammer...

Anyone have any ideas?

PS. My study can be found on this site, if anyone is interested in seeing it... http://cfp.cc/55YCAY

    You're in a Master's program. Surely someone in your department is knowledgeable about research methods and could help you figure this out better than a bunch of random people on Yahoo Answers ever could.

    PS: It might be "easier" to find people online but that doesn't guarantee good results...and I would think someone in a MASTER'S PROGRAM would be more interested in good results than easy.
