Is requiring members to donate $1 or $5 before registering to my sports networking site a good business model? - Gerard - 02-13-2013 07:02 PM
I created a unique sports social networking website. I want to raise money for a Youth Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and I want to do this by requiring members to pay/donate $1 or $5 prior to registering to my website. Is this a good model?

No, not if you want members. Posting banners ads on your site with links to the charities themselves would work though.

bad idea. no social media site every asks for a registration fee. although, you can register it as a not for profit business and put up a page appealing for donations.
for putting up ads, you'll require a lot of traffic.
