RE: Calling all tribes, all Hiveans. Ask me absolutely anything!

You have a big reach into multiple tribes right now. I am fully convinced that they can be a vehicle to bring in huge numbers of people with the right approach.
I think that we need them to be cheaper to start. Simpler to use. Nicer to look at.
We need to get to the stage where anybody here can launch a niche tribe for 100 bucks and market it themselves to bring in a few thousand users.
Could the bro team play a part in this. Would you see it as possible or have a better solution than this.
Hive is great but not really suitable for just being a blogging site. Tribes imo are a much better place for users to join but need a major upgrades for better ease of use.
How do you see it working?
Also congrats on the work done to date as it has been a great success with lots more to come hopefully.

Thanks @niallon11, I appreciate the feedback :)
The first thing that's got to go is the front end. That is a cancer on this place. Leo's front end is far nicer and usable but ours is going to be a lot different. We are looking to not reinvent the wheel and use what works - so we will be an information portal & entertainment site first, a blogging platform as an afterthought. This is the way we need to go imo.
Tribes are massively expensive atm. CineTV cost me nearly $5000 bux to create at the time, and that's not something people have lying around. I had to power brofund down for a bit to pay for it. I can't comment on the cost though, I mean I have no idea the effort that those over at Palnet take to create a tribe. Stuff costs money.
We'll see though! Maybe competition might get fierce and it will bring costs way down.

Travelfeed.io have made a great business model for setting up stand alone travel blogs linked to hive.
You can get started with very little effort and customize your blog on their site. It's free to start with a small fee after that.
It where i would like to see tribes evolve to. I know that there is a large cost involved with setting up tribes as i looked into it before. That is one problem which would stop a lot of users from making their own but for the main problem lies in needing to hire developers to do anything with it after that. It would have to cost money to have built all of the infrastructure needed to create tribes, but for me it is all about lowering cost by selling more. It probably doesn't cost a huge amount more to create 100 tribes than it does to create 10 with the existing infrastructure.
I would love to set one up and build a strong irish community, (if i had the time, maybe next year.) but wouldn't have the technical knowledge to be able to run it. I'm hoping to see that change in time with a much better tribe to start with and a lot less cost to get started.
I like your vision for cineTV and will look forward to seeing where you go with it. Haven't had the time to dive properly into the content there but will do so at some stage along the way.
Would look forward to seeing you.
One thing that would be most awesome is a drag and drop tribe builder. But I'm not sure if that can even be done. If it could though, that would make a lot of money
