Start a social network

Have you ever thought about what it takes to start a social network? There are many different platforms on the internet that provide the tools which will help you build your own online community.

They all have their pros and cons and you need to take a look at what you want to achieve from running your network. A UK company that provides a social network platform is SocialGo and they give you an option so you can either start a social network that is free to join or that you charge a monthly membership fee.

These platforms are great because they not only help you to build a community around your local business or expertise but they also provide you with an opportunity to develop a passive income stream. It is a membership site and social network combined. I spoke to someone through their live help who told me you can actually set up as many membership levels as you like.

There are so many tools now that are making it easier to help you start an online business that there really is no excuse not to start one! Not being able to afford web designer fees is an excuse of the past. So is not being able to afford some of the expensive membership site software out on the market.

When you start a social network you offer an opportunity for people to interact and learn that membership sites can't provide. I named this type of network social learning network because members are not joining just to be social and swap facts about personal matters - they are eager to learn from your membership site and each other. If you want to start an online business in 2010 consider whether it is worth looking at how to start a social network that provides a learning opportunity for your members and helps you develop a recurring income from the monthly membership fees you will charge! I guess this is a new kind of distance learning :)

Why SocialGo might be a good way to go

We all know that to succeed online we have to be different. It really is important to stand out in the crowd - to be the triangle among all the squares! Now imagine running one of these social networks how could you make yourself instantly different?

Well to begin with if you are a dating site why not offer training opportunities. Dating sites seem to think their only responsibility is to collect fees to bring people together but they could take on a bigger role of helping people to work on their personal growth by offering a dating course. Or providing training material on dating, how to approach dating etc - not just articles but real helpful training.

Or what about a cooking network where people join to swap recipes and paid members are given access to videos on how to cook certain meals, how to get ready for a dinner party. More than just reciping swaping people can learn how to cook!

Or you start a social network around fitness that is free to join but also has a paid area that includes material on how to burn fat and get fit.

Loads of people run social networks and then have a website/membership site they promote - SocialGo helps you to bring the two together in one area, making it easier for you to promote the upgrade "in house!"
