There are several social networking sites on the internet that will allow you to connect with others throughout the world at any time you want. But which one should you choose? That is a great question that only you can answer. But you can look for the following features when choosing a peer-to-peer social network to join that will help ensure that you are not disappointed with your experience. Here is what to look for:  

The Ability to Privatize Your Account

One important feature of the peer-to-peer social network you decide to participate in should offer privatization. If you only want certain friends or family members to see the information that you post, you should be able to block everyone else from seeing those posts. You should be able to privatize your entire account so that only those on your friend's list can see any information about you, including your name and photo.

If you do not mind strangers seeing your profile and some of your posts, you should have the ability to choose whether each message you post is private or open to the public. You should also be able to block specific individuals from seeing your posts and personal information as well.

The Opportunity to Meet People with Similar Interests

The peer-to-peer social network you choose to utilize should also allow you to identify and meet new people who have similar interests as you. Instead of being fed a sea of random profiles when browsing the network, you should be directed to profiles of people who work in the same field as you, have the same hobbies as you, likes the same movies as you, or shares the same political views as you.

This will help narrow down your contacts to those you would most likely have the best time interacting with and help ensure that you do not end up becoming social friends with people who end up arguing, mocking, threatening, or harassing you in any way.

The Option to Promote and Sell Products or Services

Whether you own a business or want to promote products or services you love to make a little extra money, the peer-to-peer social network you sign up for should give you an opportunity to do so. Whether you want to post promotions on your profile or join an advertising group of some kind, the options should be there.

Plugins to help you direct people to your affiliate sites and to take direct payments for goods or services you are personally selling should also be available. The option to create banners and digital fliers would be a plus.
