How would social networking make money without subscription, adsense, the likes? Just plain social networking

Here are some ideas:





Charging for widgets.


Designing templates and selling them from the home page.


Affiliate marketing through companies like Commission Junction.


Requesting donations from the home page.


Selling mailing lists of your users matched with what they are interested in (power of the database).


Using the skills you learned creating your free website as a platform to make other websites (web development business).





I hope that helps.
