How To Create Your Own Topical Social Network

Transcript

Sherman Hu: Hey folks! Sherman Hu, from ShermanLive.com, with another tip for you today!

If you are asking the question, "How can I create my own topical social network?" We’re not talking about creating or jumping into another network right now, like Facebook or MySpace, for example. But, how do you create your own white label topical social network?

Then what I’d like to share with you, is to go visit Gina’s Social Network app at Ning.com. Ning.com is the social network application I’ve referred to, and if you are kind of planning a non-profit organization — sorry, a not-for-profit social network — whether it’s charitable or religious, or you’re thinking a for-profit social network in business, marketing, if you have a product or service, then Ning will help you get up to speed today. And depending on features you want, whether it’s domain mapping or ads or whatever the case may be, then maybe a small charge is there.

But today, you can go create an account and set up your own social network in a hurry and be able to offer other folks, who are enthusiasts or evangelists in that topic, to join as members, have their own space to blog, to build a following, to add photos, add video. That right there allows you to get up to speed, time to market, in a hurry with very, very low cost of entry and a powerful way to put your foot forward in a social network space.

Hope you enjoy this tip!
