Tips on building a social networking website
Great Video!
and you must know that you never can say “I finish my site”, if you say that… it’s really FINISH.
That’s true. Who wants to finish it anyway? Developing is fun. I started my site three weeks ago. It’s called “humlesurr”. See the link on my channel.
I know HTML, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, AJAX, Flash.
On my site all content is JUST MINE, I use Photoshop to draw ALL the graphic, I write codes.
I have Apache, PHP and MySQL on my computer and for one full year I just “preparing” site, and after that I publish it…
One advice:
If you thinking about making web site, you must know programing, not just know, you must understand it on the right way, and you must know that you never can say “I finish my site”, if you say that… it’s really FINISH.
The key here is KISS principle. keep it simple… Niche social networks are very hot now. Companies create them to keep tight control on their user base. Why not just create a site using a modular content management system? I use Joomla. It’s not expensive as you might think to set up.
It takes way more time and effort to promote and build your user base. Finding a team of promoters will help here, or outsourcing some VA’s.
All do-able… Don’t be discouraged. Go for it!
Why not just create use content management system website in Joomla or Drupal? Come see me… I’ll tell you what to do. It’s not that expensive to set up. It takes more time and effort to promote and build the user base.
Hey what do you think about Boonex’s dolphin download is it a good start to build your own social networking website.
More or less as deterrent for not starting a social networking …very disappointed in information:(
Very nice video and nice done social network is growing. That why on my website I have social network search were you can type a friend name and see if they are with 7 social network sites. Just go to my profile to see.
Domain Name $10, Hosting $5 (Through Godaddy). You can use Godaddy or another SHARED LINUX until your site is good enough. Thats what I did.
IF you were serious about this, get a website designer, learn xHTML, PHP, mySQL and maybe some Javascript for the website. If you are a beginner, use FireWorks to slice and code your website then add functionality. Use Genie, Notepad++ or other software for PHP devving. Also, as you said about the prices, some people overprice it alot. I dont charge that much for a website, it isnt that hard.
The best place you can start is learning PHP/Mysql. Work on learning the conventions, then once you got that down start making a simple 3 page website on logging in and logging out. After that start thinking about little steps, like mail. How can i have one user add a message to a database and let another user access that. simple question and just work your way, that how i did it, i worked for about a year on my social network and still am, message me if you need help
I use buddypress, it works fine, but its hard to mess with
buddypress lets you turn any wordpress blog into a social networking site.
I also think it’s free and was created by the makers of wordpress.
also vbulletin vers. 4 lets you run a social networking.
check out web apps like socialgo, kickapps or drupal.
your hair is beautiful! great vid!
Yes, but you have to be a PREMIUM user to be able to do it, it means, pay for it.
Read carefully “zohrats” comment, I’m network creator and he is ABSOLUTELY right.
Regards,

Thank you, that was very helpful!
hey Lisa do i have to have my own domain not others’ website domain in order to get pay
Hi Lisa, NING seems to be cool yes, and it IS, but right now after they are existingfor quite some time, their true face is shown. NING is like the Illuminati for social networking. Once you are hooked, you ain’t going nowhere. You don’t own your own content and you can not do what you REALLY want. What people have to keep in mind is that we, the network creators are the ones who make NING popular, not NING itssself. NING sucks really so i advise people to NEVER get hooked to it..
