how to make money with a website without ads?

[hello777]

I am part of a team creating a social networking website, and would like to know how to get money/profit off of it without advertisement.

Short of having people pay to use it, you won't make any money without ads

[Uncommon Sense]

There is no way that will ever happen.

Make it a private paid membership social network where users would pay membership fee or monthly/annual membership dues. But to pull this off you better darn sure be able to provide a premium palace social network that members would be willing to pay for.

Unless you are charging your users for use of the social network or a service.....the only other way is to use advertisements.

You could pay for it by linking affiliate programs like http://bit.ly/N6UdQy

That way it's not an ad, but your own recommendation...and you still get paid a lot of money for leads

Make it popular and sell the site and make money like what was done in hotmail's case.in mid 90's

There is a way.

But after your social networking website should get a great hit. you need to provide free API service at the beginning. after that you could charge few cents for your API service. this would be a better idea. if this is a better idea. kindly give me a cheer. if guys have any other better idea kindly let us know.

Thanks
