Social Engine Review – Start Your Own Micro Social Network

Starting your own social network just got easier. Building a social network requires a lot of hard work and getting people to use it is even more tough. Though you can create a social networking site like Facebook easily with Social Engine, I won’t recommend you to do that. Instead you can make use of Social Engine to start a micro social networking site. A micro social networking is a site which belongs to a specific niche. You can use Social Engine to create a community on topics like blogging, travel, education, etc and make it a profitable venture.

Social Engine Is Very Easy To Set Up

You hardly require any technical skills to set up Social Engine. If you can register a domain name, set up your website, can create a data base, you can easily create a social network with Social Engine. Here are a few screenshots of the Social Engine installation process. It automatically looks up if your server is compatible with the script and if there’s anything wrong, it will highlight it.

& Manage Too!

After completion of the installation, you are automatically redirected to the Social Engine control panel where you can configure Social Engine and start your social network.

Below is the screenshot of the default control panel (before you have set anything). You can set up your social networking site from here. You can view and create admins, manage users, manage plugins, check website statistics, manage advertising campaigns, configure sign up settings, system emails, templates, languages, URL’s, manage frequently asked questions, invite users, change the site template or simply log out! Social Engine also presents you detailed statistics of your social networking site. It shows the number of members, number of page views, number of private messages, number of abuse reports, etc.

Non-admin’s Point Of View

Have a look at Social Engine’s user signup panel. It’s so simple and easy to use. A new user can sign up in less than 30 seconds. Users can choose their timezone, avatar, language, etc.

You can add multiple language support in your social networking site created using Social Engine. Social Engine also comes with a spam protection module which does not allow a user to sign up without entering the captcha code. This helps in preventing spam registrations on your social network.

Enhance Your Social Network With Modules & Plugins

Plenty of plugins and modules are available for Social Engine. These plugins and modules help you improve your social networking site by adding more features. A few of the modules available are forums, blogs, photo albums, polls, groups, video and music sharing, etc. Independent developers also design plugins and modules for Social Engine helping you take your social engine site to the next level. ALl these plugins and modules are available at affordable prices.

Have a look at the forum module:

Here is how forums appear to normal members. Social Engine forums are very easy to use and help members in interacting with each other.

Configuring your Social Engine forum is easy as creating a Gmail account! Even a person with no technical knowledge can do this!

Have a look at the blogs module:

This is the admin’s view of blogs management panel. An admin can simply view the blog posts, moderate them, delete blog posts, etc. An administrator can even manage the blog categories so that it becomes easy to sort out blog posts. Further an admin can ban members breaking rules from blogging.

Classifieds module:

Social Engine offers a Classifieds module as well which helps you in setting up a classifieds section in your social networking site. You can use this to bring in local audience to your site. You can use classifieds to attract new members as listing their website or blog on classifieds can help them get exposure, etc. Here is how the Classifieds back-end looks like.

There are many more modules available. You can check out this page to have a look at all the modules and plugins supported by Social Engine.

There is absolutely no doubt that Social Engine is a good product. In fact it’s an excellent product and the best social community script available in the market! I highly recommend Social Engine.
