My latest howto guide is Create Your Own Ningalicious Network. I have decided to post most of the chapters of this guide on the SistaSense blog. To review some chapters like the one on Making Money with your Network or Creating Active Members, you will need download a copy of this eGuide.
Ning is an online service designed to help you create, customize, and share a social network. Though it is both easy and free for anyone to create their own ning network, I’ve noticed that many people have questions about using ning, adding features, and effectively building their own social networking communities. Having built two ning networks, with over a thousand members on each, I decided to create this guide as a way to share what I have learned and answer some of the most common questions about creating a network on ning.
When I created my first ning network almost a year ago, I had no idea how it would change my life. My online business has grown, my websites generate more traffic, my ad sales have increased, and I’ve met so many interesting people who enjoy doing the same things I like to do. These spaces are a reflection of who I am, as I am sure your network will be a reflection of your interests and activities.
To help you build your own space on ning, I have decided to discuss the following topics: Please note that each topic is scheduled to post on this blog daily for the next several days starting June 9, 2008. Some links might not work just yet, as they are scheduled to post throughout the Month of June. So check back regularly to see what posts have been activated, or download the eBook to read the complete guide now.

Greetings,
Do you have an affiliate program for your publications?
This particular series on Ning is especially interesting to me.
Although I am a member of several Ning networks, none of them address my specific niche and target relationship marketing needs.
You series provides answers to many of my questions, concerns, and fears.
As The ePublicist, I would recommend creating a Ning network to clients, depending on their online public relations and new media goals.
You have my deepest and sincerest gratitude for sharing this information.
You have my eternal admiration for sharing the power of information so that others may perpetuate your success.
Appreciation.Respect.Applause.Support.Standing.Ovation.
