A social networking website for automotive enthusiasts that is focused on adding value to the communities that support it
Q1: I'm constantly learning about e-commerce techniques. What are some of the more effective methods you've seen?
Idea Description
TheSilverStreets.com is a social networking site that is aimed at providing a central, national location for automotive enthusiasts to host a personal page, meet other enthusiasts, and network at no cost. It aims to solve the huge communication and organizational barriers in the automotive community. All the while using its position to make changes in communities through local involvement and high ethical standards. (Secondary to the vision) The site will get revenue from advertising initially and then we'll gradually shift to optional premium membership as well as an industry research tool.
What will you do if you win $10,000 for this idea?
We currently have the funds to launch the beta site in Nashville, TN. But with $10,000 we would have the funds to take the site national much faster and be able to afford greater marketing strategies like funding a project car that we take around the U.S. and let the top builders in America gain recognition by working on it and being shown on the site! The faster the site can grow the faster we can start impacting communities in a big way! Tennessee is only the beginning!
