Making a Social Networking Site

[Homosexual]

See, invent pays me nightly, he's my 'investor', hence why all my sites are popular.
thx

Haha But yeah, to make a successful SN you either need a lot of money or some investors that are willing to put money into a pre-revenue business, which (like Homosexuality said) is pretty hard at the moment because of the state of the economy.

Also, if you're hoping for your site to be popular, NEVER use a pre-made script.

First of all, i'm building on the pre-made script, A LOT. That was pretty much just the base, and we will see about the investors etc. at the moment i've got quite a lot of money to spare.

Really, these websites should be made for fun. There is no chance that your site will get as popular as YouMeO or any other lead social networking website, I created mine for fun and it's used locally for friends, I tried the professional attempt at getting somewhere with and decided to give up - A £200 investment is nothing in social networking.

However, I wish you good luck - but I don't think you will succeed, please note that I am sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean too if I did.

Youmeo uses more than £200 a day atm and it's only got half a million users so we're not the biggest. So plan to spend about £60,000 a month on the basics to get anywhere with a social network

Youmeo has it's ways, we realised due to the low amount of traffic we were recieving when the site was an absolute mess that it was pointless to annoy our users more So because we'd only make about £100 a week from them it didn't seem enough to make it all worth while. So our CFO called us up and said we could remove all ads from the site, because if you remember in the beginning we had a few Google AdSense ads laying around the place.

Still we have our ways of making money as we're fortunate to have a really good management team that can point us in the right direction and keep Youmeo flowing.

Still doesn't say how you do make money?
