When it comes to a social network, it is worthwhile to understand that this is not only an entertainment resource that has become popular with the light hand of romantics from Silicon Valley.
This is a serious online business, and your project must withstand strong competition in order to take its rightful place in the segment and provide you with a good income. There are simply no other reasons for such a serious investment of time and effort. Imagine you are launching a classic offline venture and treat it accordingly. Get ready for a thousand man-hours, even with a whole team at work. The process is not one-step.
Therefore, if you now went to Google and typed "create a free social network", remove this line so as not to join the ranks of those who will never become even a faint resemblance of Zuckerberg. Because you have to work, not have fun. Doing something “by chance”, as a result we get the same “maybe”.
So, a social network from scratch. Your actions.
- Choose a direction . Today, thematic social networks work great, based on certain social groups. It is they who will bring you income, so there is no point in starting a group for insolvent people. An excellent choice - cars, appliances, everyday life, children, health. You also need to understand the topic, so it will be easier for you to control the content and participate in the development of the project.
- Build a basic content pool . Ideally, you should have a list of topics and categories that you pre-fill with excellent quality content, taking into account indexing in search engines. Internal information feed is extremely important for further promotion and work with the audience.
- Create a business plan . You will not be able to do without start-up capital, and if it is not enough, you will need an "angel". Convince him of the promise of your startup with a detailed business plan with infographics, projections in numbers, statistics, and more.
Next, you need to proceed directly to the creation of the project.
What cannot be done? Create a social network based on a free engine - WordPress, Joomla, etc. Not only do they have horrendous security stats (over 80% of sites are threatened every year) - they just aren't built for social media. Light content sites with a small audience and even small online stores - their profile and ceiling.
But a social network is a complex and often rapidly developing structure, the software of which has the highest requirements today.
- Passability. A free engine usually “dips” in the first hundred of users. The social network is obliged to pull at least a million - which means that the platform must scale horizontally. This ability is provided by a developed server structure, which, for obvious reasons, does not exist with free engines.
- High level of security of personal data. Data leakage is the reason for extremely unpleasant lawsuits with the owners. Especially if your platform is equipped with a payment system. This issue must be kept under the strictest control.
- Manufacturability. The data arrays that the social network generates and stores have long gone beyond the limits that a person can withstand. No matter how many moderators you hire, you will not keep track of the content - therefore, the participation of artificial intelligence in the aggregation, sorting and pre-moderation of materials is necessary. Also, artificial intelligence takes on many more functions, which greatly increases network performance and, accordingly, audience loyalty.
A separate issue is page loading speed . If the network is loading slowly, it means that it does not use aggressive data caching technologies. This is the moment that literally destroys all the hopes of the owners of free social networks. On public CMS, resources take an awful long time to load and constantly give errors.
Are you planning to create a functional, lively and decent social network with a population of over one million?
Contact professionals. Yes, it won't be free, but it's worth keeping in mind the rapidly growing online business. Earnings of successful networks are billions, and who said that you are worse than Zuckerberg?
