Okay, so I'm not talking about making money with red#. That's a topic in an of itself, wherein the possibilities are about endless...
What I'm talking about here is how to use a redmatrix site for one's personal benefit, with my own case scenario as an example.
I have built this here very redmatrix site, and have built a few channels on it for my own use:
I have @Tazman's Runlog to track my running workouts, plus @dreamlog wherein I log my dreams. I have this here blog channel for a personal blog, plus I have @tazman as my "social networking" channel, with which I am only connecting to my trusted friends and colleagues.
I can post to this blog, and cross-post to any of my other channels, plus to my friendica profile, my pumpio profile, and some other networks.
I can post directly to my dreamlog, which is private, when I want to log dreams I do not want to share with the public, however, if I have an interesting dream I want to share with everybody, I can share it here on this public blog, and crosspost it to the dreamlog, to my personal/social channel, and, to a public dream discussion channel. Likewise, when I want to share an excellent workout, I can do the same: post here, to my personal/social channel (@tazman) and cross-post to the runlog and to a runner's forum channel or fitness channel. However, I need not make all of my running workouts public (like those where I barely crawl a few miles in exhaustion, or whatever).
This gives me a public blog, a private profile, a running log, a private dreamlog.
I could create another channel for personal notes, private for myself, a private diary, or an organizer channel for my business, again, private, where I would enter events in the calendar, take notes, etc. These private channels are all great resources for storing and organizing information, with tags, categories, and archives. I can make them completely private, where nobody can connect to them and access their content (as I would for a business organizing channel, or, say, a private log).
I can make them fully public, like this blog channel. Or, I can make them mostly private, but connect to selected friends, as with @tazman. I could make a channel for my business where only I and my employees can participate for internal communictions, notices, and company news, or a public channel for my business where customers can follow company news updates and participate.
I could make myself a recipe channel, either for a private, personal log of kitchen experiments and recipes, a publicly readbale foody/recipe blog, or even a very public recipe forum-like channel, where I and others can participate and share recipes.
I could make a photography channel to show-case my own photography, only, as a soap-box, where folks can follow, or make a photography forum-group, where others can join and share and enjoy each others' work.
Such options are available for really any topic: a sports fan channel or a private forum for internal communications for a sport team, a music channel, either to showcase one's own music if one is in a band or a solo artist, or as a public fan site for a specific artist or band, like @deadheads, or even a forum for a whole genre of music, like @Progressive Rock Group
The possiblities are without limit. The fine control a redmatrix user has over permissions for their channels, allowing the user to make posts as private or public as they like, and the various resources (events calendar, channel/stream, webpages, etc.) lend red# to a million and one uses!
