4. Niche specific
Some social networking sites specialize
in certain markets. While they have
significantly less users than the generic
sites, 100% of the people there are
going to be interested in your site topic.

What kinds of
niches can you find?

7. Secure sites
There are security issues with a lot of the
smaller sites, so be certain you check on
this before getting started
Read reviews about them before giving
out any important information on them
Some of them require some personal
information, so knowing the security
reputation of a site before using it is
smart.

8. Clear interface
Some sites have
clear features, some
do not. If you need
an MIT degree to
figure out all the
features of a
site, than steer clear
of it.

9. Videos and photos
Try to find sites that offer the ability to
upload photos and videos
◦ This simply helps you incorporate a
personality into your marketing efforts
Uploading video and photos shows you
are using the site for more than just the
one way link, and you are serious about
entrenching yourself in the community.

10. Vibrant community
Look for sites that have a lot of
conversation going on
Forms in particular are one of the best
social sites around, because they allow
you to get in a conversation with your
target market
◦ This will help you answer questions and
establish yourself as an expert.
