You already know about the big players in social networking – Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter – now it’s time to jump on the Ning bandwagon.
Ning - A Great Social Networking Opportunity
Ning is an innovative social networking site that allows you to create and join networks aimed at specialized interests. The twist is that Ning integrates with other social media networks and gives users an interactive community experience. There are social networks for every possible interest - from gaming to health/wellness.
Ning boasts over 27 million users and 1 million social networks. Ning is another great way to spread the word about your company. It’s similar to other social network sites: it’s free and setting up your account/profile takes no time at all. Don’t forget to include your picture!
You can also upgrade your account and use your own domain (which takes off their ads). You can also take advantage of Ning’s advertising space if you want added exposure.
Ning’s main features include:
- Private email messages
- Friend requests
- Event and group invitations
- Alert applications
- Personal/company profile
- Create personalized social network page(s)
Why Should You Create Your Own Social Network?
Social networking is one of the most powerful online marketing tools at your disposal, and it’s FREE advertising. Starting your own social network through Ning can open up MANY opportunities that the big social networking players don’t necessarily offer.
