Product Description
All of us know that users of the Web do not read advertisements on the websites we visit, yet the online communities are emerging as the next great media rely solely on this method to produce revenue. In The Social Network Business Plan, social network expert, David Silver presents and explains 18 cutting-edge methods to create revenue for social network websites–none of which are advertising. He also predicts the demise of seemingly successful online communities such as MySpace and Facebook that rely on advertising as non-sustainable modalities. Silver describes and explains that in the future new products and services will be introduced, talked about, rated, reviewed and recommended – or killed – by online communities. One example of the 18 new revenue channels that online communities are adopting is the sale to vendors of anonymized conversations of the community members concerning those vendors’ products or services. Another example is online communities who partner with the internet providers to receive payment when a particular online community’s information is downloaded usinf that providers service. The other sixteen revenue channels are equally head-turning!
Silver is the only angel investor, operating down where the rubber meets the road, who is investing in online communities in their infancy, and writing about which ones will win and which ones will fail.

A better resource is [...]. This book doesn’t focus on all of the free software resources that are available. I can see how it would be hard to write a book on something that is changing consistently. I’ll stick to the online resources and resell my copy here on Amazon for someone else to read.

I was always puzzled by how so many people make money on line – that is until I read the book “The Social Network Business Plan” by David Silver. This book is equivalent to reading the bible when it comes to creating wealth through social networking. He spills out all his knowledge and experience with clear examples including 18 strategies from A-Z how to do it.

This book gave me the perspective and the knowledge to really realize my potential could grow into something more than an idea. It was to the point, and instructive. This book taught me how to take my hobby and interest, and produce from that, a business that could grow and thrive in the social networking world of today. Overall a truly educational and revolutionary book!

David Silver has created a tremendous book about building your own social network. He even includes ideas for various social networks, numerous ways to generate significant streams of income and cash flow statement projections. It’s obvious he has a passion for the social network space. Traditional advertising is dead and social networks are the present and future.
Silver details how there is a lot of money to be made getting intelligent people talking about something that has commercial value, then selling their conversations to vendors. This is applicable in so many areas – the opportunity before us is incredible!
I commend David for sharing his expertise with us. This is like having an architect hand you a set of plans to build your new house. He is an investor in several social networks and his experience is extremely valuable. I’ve bookmarked so many of the pages in this book. If you are serious about being part of the internet social media revolution, you must have this.
