Domain Idea: http://www.swissclam.com
Description:

SwissClam.com aims to be the largest online community in Houston, Texas.  Although the website will easily expandable into other major cities, the Internet Entrepreneur & WebBizIdeas.com decided it would be better to focus on one large city to start.

SwissClam.com will connect Houston residence who shares the same common interests.  Users will be able to register for a free account and then create a free profile.  This profile will consist of information that would normally be found in a social networking site but also five special fields.

Address, city, state, and zip code will be required for the following five fields.  This information will be searchable with SwissClam.com Google Mashable!

  • Location of User’s Home
  • Location of Users Friend’s Homes
  • Places the User Recommends
  • Places the User Does not Recommend
  • Places the User Frequents

This information will be entered into a database and then be searchable by the Community Searchable Map Feature.  Here users will be able to visually search (Google Map Mashable) the location of users’ homes, location of users’ friend’s homes, places they recommend, places they do not recommend, and places they frequent.

The Map Feature will be the main focal point of the SwissClam.com.  It will allow members of the site to not only find restaurants, bars, cubs, bands, and other night life activities in Houston, Texas, but it will allow them to find other users who also visit these locations!

If a member wants to go to a restaurant this Friday he/she will first use the map feature to find restaurants a restaurant in their location.  The member has the option to click on each restaurant that shows up on the map to review it or they can use the other tools to meet people that frequent the restaurant.

Every member will be able to record the places they frequent, recommend, and do not recommend in Huston, Texas.   So when a member types in a restaurant that 50 other members recommend, the member who searched for the restaurant will be able to view those 50 members’ profiles.

They will be able to see what other places they recommend, not recommend, frequent , where they live (optional), where their friends live (optional), can e-mail them, can talk on SwissClam.com live chat with them, leave them a message, view photos of them and their friends, and many other options.

Internet Marketing

How will it make money?

The Internet Entrepreneur that contacted us has a great idea!  He knows his idea is unique and the software he wants us to build would create that WOW effect; leading to great public relations.  We have already discussed making money off business profiles (restaurants, bars, night clubs, etc…) uploading their profiles and advertising.

A night club would be able to build their own unique web page on SwissClam.com, upload photos & videos, a link to their website, and any other information they require.  They would also be able to interact with other members, save people as friends, create events, send out invites, and other features built to help them promote their business.

We will install banner & video management software into the site and make money off advertising & sponsorships like most online communities as well.  Other than that we both agreed that it is too early to decide how the site will make money; which is the right conclusion.  Too many people are so focused on “money” that they forget to focus on just a website that people will want to visit over and over again.

If SwissClam.com is built and has adequate funds for marketing it will be an overnight success.  The right opportunity will present itself at the appropriate time.

This was not an internet business idea from WebBizIdeas.com. The client does not have the budget to build & launch the website so we listed it here to find investors. If you would like to get in contact with the Internet Entrepreneur who came up with this idea please contact WebbizIdeas.com.
