Hi. my name is favour ayorinde. And this tutorial is to teach you how to create a social networking website.And if you keep at it, you might even beat Facebook. note:this tutorial is for starting from the scratch guys. if you feel that you have done some of the things stated here, no problem. see other things that you haven't. and do them.

1. Preliminary preparation
   • get a computer: you could buy, borrow-what ever. but make sure you have access to a computer. at least 20 hours a week.
   • Learn typing. mavis beacon is pretty good. and don't stop until your average accuracy is more than 85% and your average typing speed is over 40WPM
   • Learn HTML,CSS,PHP,MYSQL, and AJAX.In that order.
2. Paper-work.
• get a name:think of something unique.try anagrams, or dream up something.
• Craft a theme:Facebook is navy blue and white.twitter is sky blue and white.craft your own theme. if you are out of ideas, find out from friends.which brings us to our next topic.
• consumer advice:if you a have a blog, that's fine. organize polls and stuff to find out from your potential customers how they would like their future social site to be like.
3. The start.
• Start writing the code for the site: assign a schedule you could stack the text editor and the browser, side by side. and reload the pages after you make a change in the code. this will allow you to properly monitor your progress.
• find a site host:GoDaddy is a good place.but you may also find other hosts you like.
• Encourage your friends to use it: most people like new things.make this exciting. If you have a blog, advertise it there. soon, you'll see results."
4. Expand.
• Start advertising:yup.It's the same as the last step. but this is different. now, you're advertising to total strangers. google adwords
is quite profitable. also, you could join writer sites. and include the site link in your author's bio.
• Get more programmers:the really best thing is to teach your friends web designing.from the start.so it won't be hard for you later on./
• Add more site features: before your users get bored. And leave the site.
