Reducing
initial cost:
Startup concerns are many but which intrigues most is largest cost
of start-up. For this work distribution in a properly organized manner would be
much of importance. This system development on startup requires 10 people who
are geniuses in their work and could work for two years on the basics of
Friend’s corner e.g. adding friends, adding job ads and management of each
stuff, so the cost issue will be dependent upon their salaries and their style
of working. A minimum estimate says that it could include ten thousand dollars
and if security handling and innovation would be done than it must need more
budgets. This budget could be reduced in to less than this but it mostly
depends upon the team which is developing the system and their mode of working
but this is indeed a larger social network which would cost much more than the
required setup.

early adopters:
Early adopter is a challenge because they are the pioneer who gave
their time for the evaluation and startup of service and other got attracted by
their time and importance. These early adopters needs some extra benefits for
their attraction and encouragement so Friend’s corner provides initial seeding
and tutorial help and information about the usage of platform. Platform offers coupons
and vouchers to the early users and different types of surprise gifts.

and issues:
This system has larger expectation for success because it involve
many innovative plan and if they are tackled in a nice way this would results

and renders interest of everyone. It can have many social issues people can
