I have a social network project I had started working on, but never launched it because of a change in Facebook Groups. I have most of the development work done. Contact me on telegram yogeshko or I am on skype Bizteon. My company Bizteon is a Houston Texas based premier IBM Business Partner. So the technology side I can handle.
I will greatly appreciate it if you can sent me a pm. I tried but could not get across to you on telegram. Here is my username: @jerryzack https://t.me/Jerryzack

Creating a new social network is like launching a rocket into space, it's a very complex project that requires a team of professionals, and if you don't even have experience with programming, how are you going to manage your hypothetical product? It's good to have ambitions, but if you have such a giant goals, you have to either become realistic and give them up, or devote your whole life to achieving them.
Programming knowledge doesm't matter here, it's more like marketing because nowdays it's pretty easy to create facebook like website, even that would be very shit because you need your own CMS (if we talk about project that wants to achieve anything good in future), huge work on security, a team of professionals and etc. You have to control every content, scan uploaded videos with their id to get rid of copyright issues and so on, this is just basic of what facebook has and this requires huge resources which costs millions + need a team of professionals but still, If you want to achieve something, it's almost impossible on global market because of natural monopoly. Facebook/twitter are most widely used, everything has it's time, it would be easier 10 years ago but now? Still don't understand what do these people think when they have such ambitions. Be crazy in your dreams, that's great but at least be a little realistic, there are dreams which will stay dreams forever. Don't wanted to repost here again but can't understand why realizing of all above things seem so difficult for people. 
A reasonable desire and indeed you may see a gap to be able to make what you do can be very productive with the assumptions that you think about yourself. but from what you say you don't understand in the field of the programmer and even say you don't have money to pay for it. how you will run this but you yourself are not ready for it. do you think of an interesting solution?
You don't need a big understanding of programming to be able to create a social media platform. There are lot of options out there for users to chase their dreams. ICO's, crowdfunding, and investors all exist for a reason and don't be scared to use them.
Here's an idea. Create a pitch deck. Put all these ideas you have for the next big social media platform onto paper, add budgeting, how will development work and a timeline. Then go talk to some venture funds, investors or even hold a crowdsale for it. An idea isn't valuable unless there is work put behind it.
Good luck!

I don't know about that suggestion, I mean I wouldn't recommend anyone starting any sort of crowdfunding campaign, if they have nothing more than just a concept.
For me to invest or recommend a crowdfunding campaign to someone, at the very least I'd want the project to have a working prototype.
Just something that shows they've put effort and money into it themselves. Not just an elaborate idea basically.
There has never been a better time to cash into the gap in the market that was created by major social media platforms, banning Crypto currency based advertising. If you can manage to start a new social media platform where Crypto currency advertisements were welcomed, then you can grab a portion of the market from the larger social media platforms that pushed away Crypto currency companies and individuals.
There are a gap in the market and those who address the "need" that are ignored by larger organizations, would capitalize on their mistakes. Build the platform and user base before these companies change their policies and you will get the loyalty and support of the Crypto currency community.

With proper research and good developing partner, I don't think it is that much difficult with basic connection and influencing skills.
Thanks for your response. How do one go about an ICO starting from the white paper?
why would you need to do an ICO? Just for funds? if yes, I believe your project will fail because you won't have a good tokenomics. ICO is not needed for your dream, you just need to write the code/program and market it. no need for extra tokens if you eventually will use that tokens as a rewards (like what all of those social media ico project does).
Thanks for your response. How do one go about an ICO starting from the white paper?
Don't consider thinking an ICO. Believed me, it will fail.
Start from a scratch.
Give reasons...
-why someone should help you
-why someone should assist you
-why someone should fund you
After providing those, let's see who will got some interest.
Whew... This will be a long journey that needs "SERIOUS APPROACH". How far will you go? Goodluck.
However, I would recommend raising funds from your own money, or from regular investors before going for a crypto-based crowdfunding method. Write a pitch deck and show private investors what you can offer the world.

ding ding ding. There is the money grab. lol
Then yours must be very unique and more useful, there were a lot of social network websites that didn’t become successful or simply been outmatched by other new websites that are more better. Like if your are planning a website of your own then it must contain some features that existing websites do not have and badly needed by users. To compete with existing and well established websites with no specific and usable distinctions will be only be equivalent to failure. Sorry for my word but you have a motivation so I believe you also have good ideas too. Good luck.

about your desire of creating a social network, what would be its purpose? How would it different from all other social medias available worldwide?
OP would be in control.
What do you have or can to do in order to develop successful social network? Can you create product that will be as different from facebook/twitter as bitcoin differs from cash? I believe you can't. Otherwise do you have billions to invest in developing and promoting of your social network? Just see, even facebook has massive ads online.

The user uzi has a valid point. What would be the difference between your site and the ones we have already? People have gotten used to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, what are you offering that will make them switch teams?
If someone created a new bitcointalk forum and made it even better than this site it would still not become as popular as the original bitcointalk. bitcointalk.org is the place where Satoshi wrote, it has a historical value and people want to be part of that.
why not! I mean when Facebook was not on the internet we still used to browse the internet and never expecting something to be coming at our face like facebook. this is why the internet is for its full of surprises. I know Facebook, Google, Amazon, and some other tech giants have covered all the global markets but that doesn't mean anyone else can not try their luck. maybe they can somehow make some other changes or in their point of view. even if its a failure still he is gonna learn a lot from this project. Instagram started after Facebook and yet they bought this company because it has the potential to grow.

Here you go bro, maybe you can not hire a good developer like us but you can make it yourself and don't have to learn to code at all. of course you need to experiment with different stuff and all but here is top 10 open sources (free) CMS(content management systems) which will allow you to make social media platform on the go. go for it if you really believe in your idea. and don't forget to share your journey with this community.
