In this video I show you how to create your own Social Media website in WordPress that looks like Facebook and has a lot of the same functionalities.
You can add sidebar widgets that show your profile and overview menu, the latests members, most used hashtags, latest photo’s. I will show you how to change the colors in your website for if you want to change the look and feel. You also can work with a dark layout.
We will work with a lot of additions for the Peepso plugin. Like Adding Photo’s, Video’s. Adding a chat functionality, work with friendships in your community, create groups, polls and so much more!
I will show you how to reward active visitors with points and badges based on their behaviour so they can grow their status and I will show you how people can buy things on your website with the points they earn. In that way your community members are motivated to be active on your website.
Ofcourse we will talk about monetising your social media website so you can make a living from it and how to optimise everything for all devices. When you follow this video step by step you will have an amazing social media website.
I want to be upfront with you. The theme and plugin we will use in this tutorial are premium. And I have a coupon code that will give you a 20% discount!
