How do you plan on getting your critical mass/user base for your social network? The biggest problem with social networks is that at the start people won't want to join if there're not already many others using the platform?
How does it compare to joining relevant groups on Facebook or searching for specific meetups?
- asdev 5y agoStill working out how to get a user base. First step would be to use paid social(expensive) to drive awareness and see if I can build a waitlist. From there I can re-engage the same folks with other opportunities(referral, giveaway) in order to build a critical mass. Facebook groups and meetups are quite huge and spammy. The Meetup app itself is old and tired and full of spam. It's hard to find quality. The hangouts on my app are limited to 10 people, which makes it easier to make friendships. They also require you to request to join which allows people to really screen for compatible people before committing to meet up in person.
