http://www.socialbum.com How can I make this site a better exp? Is the layout the issue? Or am I getting involved with the wrong market... lol
The site seems very plain...I personally would have no incentive to sign up. Perhaps spice it up a bit. Who's the target market? I would say social networks are hard to get going. Find an angle or niche.
I wanted to target a niche but, I tried gaming and gaming is really hard to get going also. So i figured to try and go with the whole general social network path (dumb me).
Just buy in traffic bulks from like ebay or w/e and get all your friends to join then ask them what they want changing and take it from there.
The homepage has a lot of small text - I would try use large icons and cut down on the text. And it can help to give people something exciting to click on. Give them some value so they will want to sign up
