Own your very own social network site
A complete turn-key dolphin social community web site for you or as an internet business.
Personal Community |
As an online Business |

Pick your niche. A community web site can be a great income stream no matter what your audience. |
Use your name or any name for your community, and it's better than an email or profile ID number at the popular community networks.. SamMcDougall.me or YouChoose.me can become your internet address. Friends and family, business and social contacts will have a single point of contact and information for, from and about you. You'll have one single place to post your pictures and update your status. Make it your own, have some fun and make your mark on the world wide web for generations to find.

Choose any domain name and add extended features or work with a freelancer to create something totally new. |
Contact a freelance developer to get started.
For a personal domain - owned community, individuals can get started for less than $250
Commercial-ready communities capable of reaching your membership goals can be built on budgets as low as $1,500 - Unless you are a marketing GOD or have a current mailing list in the tens of thousands you need at least the same amount in your initial marketing budget.
This is not a quick-buck internet business. These sites are what they are. A great way to build a targeted marketing audience. Altho there are niche's that are receptive to a paid-service social network, it is not as common as you might think.
Chances are that charging a monthly membership fee for your community will not work. That being said: If you had quality unique content and tools, you may stand a chance.
A common mistake for community webmasters is to ignore the power of the mailing list they are building. It would be my pleasure to introduce you to some revenue stream options for your online business. There are solutions available that can produce a higher income than selling your list. Whether you have 200 or 200,000 members - an online business can have a bit of a snowball affect. Especially if you throw it down the hill in the right direction.. give the snowball affect a running start - :)
Take some time when choosing the niche for your own social networking community. Research, research, reasearch. Akin to location, location, location. It is absolutely a required milestone in your freelance project.
In case you've been living under a rock... the 'dating' site industry is officially swamped. You will, in all likelihood NOT be the next adultfriendfinder.com - No, not even if your site is green and has a faster uploader.
Choose something you are interested in, fly fishing for instance, muscle building, army cadets, television programs. Any single 'topic' can be developed into profitable niche. From beavers to classof41reunion.com --> if you think you can build the audience, choosing that niche is a great idea.
If you aren't sure.. pick another one.
It is not an 'if you build it they will come' world, as you might have teen on TV. There is work to get the site developed, designed, and fill the hallways with people. No sense painting the walls with marketing material if no one's in the building.
In the 5 years I have been building online communities as a freelancer, I have worked with hundreds of people who all though they had the next big thing. It's not that I would tranple anyone's dream. You need to be realistic in your goals. Realize that the chances are, your community site will not beat the big-guys but can certainly play in the same arena, if you take the right steps.
There is nothing worse in a freelancers world than to watch a webmaster's dreams fall apart. Keep your dreams grounded in reality with your turn-key Dolphin web site. That way you won't lose focus when you don't reach a million users in the first month of owning your own social community web site.
