How to Create A Women's Group Online
A variety of online resources exist to create an online women's group. Sites such as Meetup, Ning, Google and Facebook provide paid and free websites that promote social interaction and help the creation of an online group take only minutes to set up. If you know how to build your own website, it's possible to create a personalized website to host the group yourself. Whether you have in-person meetings or only meet with your women's group online, it's possible to meet and make deep friendships with the other women who join your online group.

Tips & Warnings
Choose a clear purpose for your women's group so the communication has focus and the members have something in common to discuss.
Have rules set for proper behavior and expectations for the group. If something goes wrong, you have the rules for reference purposes.
Watch the group communication for problems and members causing friction in the group. Do not be afraid to ask a member to leave, or remove a member from the group if she causes a problem or break the rules.
