Ning has created its own niche in the social networking market by allowing people to create their own social networking websites with their own policies and their own styles. Do you want to create a social network that is exclusively for your old friends in high school? Do you want a social network for all your colleagues in the workplace? Only Ning allows to give you that much freedom in social networking.

But quite recently, we've learned that the same company has been experiencing a turbulent storm. Key officials have lost their jobs to someone else, and investors are pulling away after realizing that what Ning has right now is just one big bubble that just burst.

And with that much money lost, Ning is now on the scramble to look for additional sources of income. One thing that it has decided to do is to drop its free service and introduce a premium service for its existing and new members. It is now rerolling the product in three pay models, namely, Ning Pro, Ning Plus, and Ning Mini. The last one costs as little as $2.95 a month, while Ning Pro can go up to as high as $49.95 per month.

By being a Ning premium member, you get the benefits of opting to remove any ads in your pages, or have your own advertisement as well. You also get API access for mobile application development, as well as RSS modules, improved header-and-footer control, and multimedia options.

It is already expected that less people will be using Ning from now on, but at least the social networking site was able to come out with a pay model that it shall use to finance its structure, something that it is absent from the previous Ning that we've seen before. Well, good luck with Ning as it endeavors this kind of approach towards social networking.
