How do I start a community?

Starting a community is relatively simple technically, and there is no special knowledge you require quite from the beginning. Except of choosing a niche and a name.

The first steps are:

• recognizing that you should have at least intermediate knowledge in the niche
• ensuring that you have long-term interest for the subject
• learning the difference between a social media group and own community
• buying a domain and signing up with community platform of your choice
• configuring the platform the way is suits your needs
• setting up legal pages
• installing add-ons and analytics you need
• inviting first community members to participate
• getting tips and tutorials on how to make money with community

Once you actually start your community and promote it on social media, that's where it gets a little tricky, but you learn as you go!
