• Have questions that members have to answer on sign up (e.g. country of origin)
• Download your Ning member list, extract email addresses, and group them into segments based on sign-up answers (e.g. segment = country of origin - India, Australia, Canada, US, Europe, etc.)
• Create groups on your network, representing these segments (e.g. Indian Chapter, American Chapter, etc.)
• Invite all members from Canada to join the Canadian Chapter, etc.
• Entice these…

I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but for the last few months, when I have a new member request and I can't quite decide if they're a spammer or just lousy at filling out their profile... I take their email and plug it into the search blank on Facebook. It's not a perfect system, but it is one more step to test a new member's authenticity before you hand them the power to blast nasty on all your members!

The screen shot, above, is of my private website for the members of The 100.  ---martial arts school owners, teachers, and their staff members. 

The green tabs on the left are expandable --and I found the idea here on Ning Creators. It's made organizing my information so…

What do you do when Google stops your ads?

If you have ever been on YouTube which if you're into websites then you have, you may have been checking out making money with Google Adsense or you want to be a YoutTube partner.  You more…

Hey everyone! First time writing here, I hope it's useful.

1. I created a whole Online Programming for the Chat. Of course I have moderators; I myself only manage one of the Online Chat Programs while other members who I've chosen carefully moderate the other shows. The Program is posted on a Blog page and can be…

Motivation!  

I could end the blog post there.  Do it!  Follow it, create it!  Your attitude will control your success.  If you want to be successful then you need to stick it out.  Usually the time things take off are right after you quite.  Don't miss out.

Self development is a form of motivation but not the same.  Both will help you reach the goals you should have set.  Do you want to have 5,000 members, or $10,000 a month?  I don't know, what I do know is that if…

What to expect
