I would like to start a website where people do the following:
Pay the site $x.xx and then they are free to post a picture on my site.(This is a one time cost for that one picture, any other picture they post would require them to pay again)
Also, they can post a little comment and a small profile page.
Others can come on the site and leave comments of the pictures (they do not need a membership to do this)
Others can come on the site and vote on the pictures ( no membership)
The only ones that will fill out any kind of a profile, will be the ones submitting pictures.
This is in no way a dating site.
I know I need a merchant account for them to pay me. But that's it.
It seems like everytime I google how to build a web site, there are pages upon pages of stuff I barley understand. I've also recieved quotes for someone to build my website. The problem with this is that they are toooo costly for a website that I'm not even sure will catch on.
O.K.
so I have my domain name, now how do I build a website that will do what I want it to do?
Does anyone have any answers for me? ANY advice is better than no advice.
Thanks so much in advance! |
I created that site 2 years ago, and shut it down a few months ago. Building a technically superior alternative to MySpace or Facebook is (relatively) easy, but the bottom line is that nobody wants or needs another MySpace clone.
My simple advice to you: BUSINESS PLAN backed by a
UNIQUE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE.
P.S. Charging user fees is not a UCA.
