Dear Reader,
With
the popularity of social networks these days it is no wonder that
more and more of them are popping up. In fact, you probably belong
to at least one social network right now. If you are like most people
you probably have more virtual friends than real ones. That is just how
things are these days.
Social networks are a great place for like minded individuals to mingle
in cyber space. These groups of people converse with each other, plan
activities and do lots of other things depending on the group. It is
truly fun to be a part of a social network that aligns with your
network.
So why would someone want to create their own social network?
Well besides the great social connections you can make and the fun you
can have meeting these individuals - there is also a part of the puzzle
that is very important. Social networks can be very profitable. Look at Facebook and Twitter. These networks
make their owners billions!
Now I'm not trying to tell you that setting up a million dollar social
network is easy. It is far from it. But the profit potential is there
and it is fairly easy to make passive income from a social network once
it starts to grow.
But how does the little guy create their own social network? The
software and hosting could cost thousands. That is a big pill to
swallow. Well - that is where Elgg enters the
picture.
Elgg
enables any person to set up a social network using their free
software. You will need web hosting and a domain name, but that cost is
minimal. It is a
very inexpensive alternative to trying to reinvent the wheel.
The power that Elgg puts in your hands
for nothing
is truly amazing. They have thought of everything and have provided it
to you for free. All you have to do is take advantage of their
generosity.
In this video series I will show
you all you need to know to set up your social network!
