There’s more to social networking than meets the eye. Did you know that there are a lot of ways to make money by creating your own social network? It is or can be more than just a place to connect with old friends, find new ones and post on walls. There are some great support networks online like hystersisters.com. This is a support group for women who have had a hysterectomy. They draw in money from pharmaceutical companies who need their product used and want feedback. After a recent radio interview on my radio program, Success Made Simple on WebTalkRadio.net, with David Silver, author of Social Networking Business Plan: 18 Strategies That Will Create Great Wealth, I became aware of all the opportunities in Social Networking.
If you are an expert in a certain field or simply have a hobby that perhaps you want to make money on, then you may want to start your own social network. David’s Angel Investment Firm, Santa Fe Capital, can even help you find the money to start one. Here in New York City there are special interest groups every where you turn so now maybe it’s time to expand and go national or maybe even international. I mean really, it’s the internet there are no boundaries!
David was kind enough to tell us give the top ten social networks that need to be started. So, if you have interests in one of these areas then you may want to give him a call.
1. Softball
2. Credit Fixers
3. Rodeo
4. Judges
5. College Sports Recruiters
6. Inventors
7. Lexicography
8. Automobile design for women
9. Photographers
10. Psychologists
Now that is just the top ten but there are many others and remember there are 18 ways to draw in money can you can find out how by getting a copy of his book.

Sharmen,
I definitely agree with you that promoting and monetizing expertise across a specific vertical SN/market represent a great business opportunity. Sales is another great area for a #11. I will definitely pick up a copy of David's book. Thanks for the article!

Have you see some of the hundreds of Social Netwoking sites out there? I suspect it is a lot harder to get these things up and running effectively than just getting some venture capital.
Sounds a bit like the dotcom bomb all over again.
Interesting article though, always room for alternative thinking.
