I was wondering the same thing. 35K? It actually discourages me a little and makes me reevaluate what I am doing. I would think with that much membership there should generate enough traffic to make money off of it.
Making money from the site is not easy regardless if member numbers. The big SNs are free so we would have a hard time monetizing a small network.
We need to find the niche and build the services the people will pay for.
Difficult.
