₦airaland Forum

Please except from ads and other sources, does websites, forums like nairaland, facebook etc make money through its users data? What is required to own one of these or build on your own and manage it? Thanks in anticipation...

No. Only adverts.

Your data is just to gather information about you.

It is very easily to own one.

Buy a domain name and get a hosting plan .

Then you can find forum scripts or forum cms online. you can buy some. Some are free to use.

Examples are xenforo, simple machine forum, vbulletin, mybb, phpbb, vanilla, etc.

Get any of these and install it.

I am not a good teacher. You can google the process of making a forum.

Thank you so much for answering this question. So you mean facebook and nairaland didn't earn any money during their early days?

facebook didn't start earning early.

Nairaland started earning the moment it got up to 100 users. I think .
