An exclusive social network. Members can share messages, events, photos, have a timeline, etc... The main difference with Facebook is that all members here are very successful with finances. They paid $75k to signup.
Hi Product Hunt!
This is an experiment of a paid social network. It's very targeted, not for everyone, not even for me : )
The value proposition here is: Calma is a social network where you will find only people that has been very successful with their finances and enjoy a relaxed life. That is accomplished by a Fee that everybody needs to pay.
Some things I want to learn and discover:
- How to approach partnerships. I think the only possibility for this to take off is to get some help from public people and influencers. Same for press.
- I'm using elgg opensource for the community. I hope to master it soon.
- I know the concept is interesting and that there is a market for this, but without endorsements I don't think anybody is going to signup.
Anyway it is an idea I had for long in my head, if I make some noise that's fine, the idea is to keep releasing products, so stay updated.
I think there is definitely a space for paid social networks, but it will be interesting to see how you solve the chicken and egg problem. Agree with above comments that a fee of few hundred dollars a month might unlock a larger market and use cases.
@pruthvi agree. But as the money is the only differentiator, I think it should be notorious. I plan to approach chicken&egg problem like this:
- Contact brands, let's see what their up too. I need top consumer brands logos in there
- I want to share % with famous people. So no just give free membership to them, giving them a % so they can push it too.
Any other idea? Listening! : )
*The fake profiles tactic... would be very funny. What I start with? Kings and princesses?
Would be interesting to see who pays that much money to get in! It mostly goes back to how you can incentivize a rich influencer to pay that much money to share content for a limited wealthy audience. I will definitely look forward to see the result of your experiment! All the best.
