Do you want to take your online community to the next level? It’s easy.
Just create a social site. Yeah – a site like Facebook. Exclusively for your community. Why, of course, your Facebook business page is great. But…It can’t live on your WordPress site, right?
Besides: the data. The invaluable data contributed by your community. When it’s on Facebook, Facebook owns it. You don’t. If you ever wanted to use it, you’d be required to go through all the lengthy data usage policies set by Facebook. While if it belonged to you, you’d make the data usage policies!
And then the control issue is also there. You can’t control what features or functionality Facebook rolls out. Neither can you extend it on your end.
Lastly, if you truly want to create an exclusive, internal network for your site members, you need to do better than that. How?
Just get BuddyPress and Boss.
BuddyPress is a free WordPress plugin that lets you add social network features like user profiles, activity streams, user groups and more to your WordPress site. With 600+ plugins for BuddyPress, you can easily extend its functionality.
And Boss. is possibly the best BuddyPress theme out there. Read on to find out why.
