Social sites are well known - I am willing to bet that right now you can name at least one or two, maybe even three.
The ones I can think of include Bebo.com, MySpace.com, Facebook.com
They’re are all social sites but they are all missing one ingredient…
NONE of these major social sites cater to a specific niche!!!
Think about that for a moment - “None of the major social sites cater for a specific niche”.
How can this be? We’re all told that you must cater for a niche to succeed so how come these ‘big’ social sites are so general?
Simple, they are SO big now that they do not need to target a niche BUT this is good news for you and me and everyone else.
How?
OK, pick a niche, any niche - let’s pick “Bass Fishing” as an example. Now, on the ‘big’ social sites there are probably already groups set up by people interested in this niche which is even better news for us as you are about to find out.
You see, if there are people dedicated and passionate about “bass fishing” who are online in a group right now then these people tick all the boxes that we need because this shows us that we can create a brand new social website that is specific to their niche!!
Think about a niche that you are personally interested in. Now, you may belong to a group on MySpace already but think about how interested you would be if there was a social website that was specific to your niche.
Can you picture it? Let me help you. Keep in mind your own personal niche interest - now picture going to MySpace or FaceBook or Bebo and that entire site was totally dedicated to JUST YOUR niche!!! Everything about the site was totally the niche you’re interested in.
Now can you picture that?!?! It would be amazing - like a MySpace JUST for your own niche interests.
So why on Earth aren’t there any of these sites available? Well, there are but they are very few and far between because normally the scripts and software that power a niche social site are expensive and complicated to set up and use. It puts people off which is a shame but also good news for you because it means that for just about ANY niche you can think of there ISN’T currently a social niche website for it.
There is currently a MASSIVE hole in the market that is crying out to be filled. The niches already exist - the people who are passionate about that niche are already social-site-savvy which means all the hard work has been done.
All YOU need to do now is provide them a social niche website that they can use.
You might be asking yourself, “But why would I want to do something like that”?
OK, cool, now you’ll need to read this carefully because this is the most important part of this article.
Social website owners are sitting on goldmines. Owning a successful social site is like being able to choose your own salary (no I’m not kidding). Social sites are successful because of how they work, people use them and tell other people about them who tell others etc etc.
Now, instead of thinking of a social site as just a website where people hang out, think of them as ‘membership sites’ and as you probably know, membership sites are money making sites. But the difference here is that you do NOT have to create content for members each month - you do not have to worry about collecting membership fees either.
So how are you going to make money with a site like this?
Oh come on you’re kidding me, right? No? OK, here’s how…
First of all there is easy to implement advertising such as AdSense and other similar programs. Next comes the fact that every member of the site can be contacted by you via the site which means if you have 2,000 people who are passionate about a specific topic then it would be very easy to make money each month by simply telling them about related products which you are an affiliate of.
By now there should be light bulbs flashing like mad just above your head.
But I hear the question you had earlier - these sites are normally expensive to set up because the scripts and software used isn’t cheap.
Well, it’s NOT anymore - setting up your own social niche website is now VERY much within your grasp thanks to the brand new Social Niche Builder.
The fact is that right now you really do not have any excuse not to set up at least one niche social website because you’re not going to face the problem of expensive, complicated, scripts and software because the new Social Niche Builder solves both of these issues for you.
Still don’t believe me? Go check this out for yourself - the market, right now, is wide open and waiting for your niche social site to walk in and suck up the cash and nope, I’m really not exaggerating.
Go check out Social Niche Builder right now.
