     Create a web address for your social network using letters only (i.e. rememberme). Type your web address in the box under the "Pick a Web Address" button. After your web address, the extension, zonkk.com appears, meaning your social network is a subdomain. This represents the easiest and most economical way to start your network and test what features work best for your networkers.
     Click the "Create" button. This takes you to a free sign-up page to enter your personal information including your user name and e-mail. Read the terms and click on the "I Agree to the Terms" button.

     Bring in networkers. Invite friends from other sites. If you design your site specifically around a hobby or sport, find other sport or hobby forums and invite other enthusiasts. Build your site day by day by visiting other popular social sites and introducing your own.

     Branch out to your own domain. After building a successful network of followers, Tharon Howard, author of "Design to Thrive," recommends taking the same interface you created with your subdomain and creating your own domain and linking it to your subdomain to make the transition seamless.
