How would you put a positive spin on the fact that your start-up web site has low traffic currently, when asking people to contribute content or advertise?

There's no "spin" needed.

Anyone with half a brain should know that a "start up" will have "low traffic" and if that puts them of being part of the growth, they are NOT the kind of people you need "on board". Their raison d'etre will be self-serving rather than altruistic.

I guess it depends on the situation. If your start up project has some obvious rich potential, you can try to "sell" that potential. If it's the same as hundreds of other websites, no matter what how do you spin it, it will be hard to attract contributors and advertisers.
