Niche Social Sites
As search and social develop online, the trend is to niche – not generalize. By specializing in a particular market, you can really go deep and develop a more mature audience that is easier to market to advertisers, as well as reach using online marketing techniques.
The trick is to find the right group – active online; a well-developed potential user base that is already active online. Then use that existing community to build your own.
Once you’ve identified the market niche you want to taget, getting the social networking system is a snap. Ning has been in business since 2004, and their system is used on more Social Networking sites than any other.
Why? Because it has all the functionality you’ll need, and it’s free.
You’ll get out the credit card in order to use your own domain or to put your own advertising up. But even once you do that you’ll only be paying a few bucks per month.
Beats the hell out of building your own system!
