- First Open your SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, then go to Application Management section, click Manage Web applications.

- Then in the Web Applications page, select the web application that you created to host My Sites.

- On the Web Applications tab, in the Security group, click Self-Service Site Creation.

- In the Self-Service Site Creation Management dialog box, in Site Collections, select On. Optionally, in Quota template to apply, select a quota template.

- In Start a Site, choose one of the following options:

  1. Prompt users to create a team site under so users can create team sites from their My Site to use site feeds.

2. Be hidden from users if you do not want users to create team sites from their My Sites to use site feeds.

- Click OK to finish.
