I love Social Networking!!!
Social Sites are great ways to keep in touch with friends as well as a great way to make new friends.
I have build my home based business without spending money one advertising. I simply build relationships with people and make new friends. I don't know about you, but it sure is a fun way to grow a business.
Why people Love Social Networking Sites?
- You can make new Friends.
- You can keep in touch with family and friends.
- You can promote your business.
- Are you an expert on a topic? You can educate people.
- Want to learn about a topic? You can learn from real people on social sites.
How to turn people ON while Social Networking
People join Social Networking Sites because they want to meet people, or they want to promote their business (just like you).
So if most people are not looking for a company or they are in a company, Why would you tell them about your company? That will just turn them off.
Social Networking Sites are about building relationships. As you get to know people they will begin to trust you. You will become friends. So do just that. Get to know people. Be authentic and really care about them.
Don't promote your company when you are communicating on Social Sites. Instead post good content and post from your heart. Let them find your link in your signature or in your profile.
If you are networking correctly and really caring about people, I promise you people will be wanting to check you out. I know when I like what someone has written it creates curiosity with me and I find myself googling them or checking out their profile. People will do the same for you.
A list of some of my favorite sites.
- This is a great place for people to keep in touch with Family and Friends as well as make new business prospects.
- My Space
- The Perfect way to keep in touch with your family as well as a great place to network.
- Direct Matches
- This is a great site for the Network Marketer, however, be prepared to get lots of e-mails on this site.
- Adlandpro
- Another good one for Network Marketers.
- Linked In
- This is a great site for anyone.
- Stumbleupon
- This is also a great place to post your Squidoo Lenses.
