Comment on this summary
1. Find a cause you truly believe in.
2. Open up a facebook page and make sure to keep posting relevant content on almost a daily basis.
3. Get your initial user base by advertising your page with facebook ads.
4. Identify your "champion fans" (Those who intesively interact with your page). Personally proactively connect with your champion-fans. Make friend requests to them (even if you don't know them). Make sure to maintain these friends by talking to them on a one-to-one level (By whatever means, usually facebook-chat is the easiest at the beginning)
5. Start organizing some "real life" meetups if possible, inviting all your fans but especially your champion-fans. Once you know your fans a little better, found a "real-life" organization (non-profit, company, society... or other structures)
6. Go on from there and never look back at what you've achieved, but always focus on your cause and how you can further it.
