Want to start a social network and want 100 new members to signup daily

Discussion in 'Social Networks' started by blorby, Aug 20, 2008.

    I want to start a new social community and would like to aim for 100 new membersignups a day starting from day 1.

    I have a budget of $300-$400.

    Can you guys give me some tips for a marketing plan. Since I want this to happen from the beginning on and linkbuilding from the beginning wont be interesting enough.

    You must indicate:

    - what the social network offers
    - how it differs from all the other social networks out there
    - how you want to "brand" it (do you have a logo, a mascot, a jingle, a banner etc)
    - what will the new members get when they sign up?
    - what will the people who refer others get?
    - do you have a budget for a professional press release?
    - do you want the members to come from certain countries?

    There are a lot of factors to consider first :)

    Im probably not going to be alone on this, but i would say 300$ will do absolutely nothing unless you have some incredible niche social community that is better than Facebook, myspace etc..

    Can you give any more information on the site itself?

    Even i was planning to start one a month back,
    I had a budget of 1000$ and realized that you need much more for a successful one...... :)

    A good script comes for around 300$
    And you need a unique design and tons of promotion :)

    You gonna need way more budget then that to make it successful. Off-the-shelf softwares would not get you much far; you gotta come up with your idea.

    I agree, your budget needs to be in the $5-$10k range in order to make a social site work.

    I think you might have to get a free script or get a bigger budget. Because finding an application isn't half the cost, it's also the advertising and marketing you have to do. If you want 200 members a day you better find some more money to dump into it.

    My social network app(not even finished) that I'm creating for myself--I wouldn't let go for less than $4500.00...when it's done I would value it at $10,000 per se because I've worked more than that in hrs of labor
