Niche social sites can be very profitable but are a shit ton of work to develop. You will need to spend time on the major non-niche social sites as well as forums, groups, mailing lists etc. devoted to your chosen niche.

I used to recommend going for paid solutions like SocialEngine but with changes that Ning made to their platform that allow you to include your own ads I say set up a free site with them, see if you can build traffic, then upgrade it to its own domain name, removing their ads etc. It's an easy way to scale a site with virtually zero out of pocket expense on your part (at least, zero out of pocket on dev.)

There are several free platforms that you can use to setup your own social media / web 2.0 site. Here is a live site using "Pligg", www.sociallister.com. I have also experimented with Orca, but have not put tons of time into it.

Did you even read the testimonials before you signed up as an affiliate?

Oh damn ... I didn't even notice the fucking aff link. I feel dirty for having contributed any thought to the thread at all.

I post aff links in my Wicked Fire posts when I don't have the money to visit a dominatrix.
