Social Networking and Social Bookmarking
Are you currently using Social Networking or Web 2.0 and Social Bookmarking to expose others to your business and to your products/services?
If not, it’s never too late to starting using these free services to network and to make some money out of it!
If you are not too sure what the heck am I talking about… Read on… and enjoy two of the best video clips explaining these two terms to you! (courtesy of YouTube and CommonCraft)
The principles behind Social Networking and Social Bookmarking evolves around two words – common interest and simplicity.
An example of common interest could be “Keeping Lobster as A Pet“- ask yourself, do the majority of the people in your school or workplace or park share this interest of yours?
And if you have a lot of information and enthusiasm to share; and these two factors can help you to earn money, where can you find these interested people who are willing to share and listen to you and even buy from you?
So enter Social Bookmarking…
There can be thousands of website that you know to be of your interest. One of them can be yours (with your products/services in it) so… Social Bookmarking helps you to share all these sites/bookmarks publicly and with simplicity – normally using your profile registered under one of the bookmarking sites. Remember these sites that you share can be your affiliate links and your own. Learn to have a good mix of natural and affiliate links.
Then next… Social Networking…
Social Networking is the so-called must-use, heavily utilized marketing tool by internet marketers. As you can see from the video above. Your area of influence is not limited to your circle of friends. Think of their friends and so forth… The world is without boundaries now!
One good factor that you need to consider of Social Networking as compared to other methods are that you are no longer considered a stranger! Your expert status can also be elevated instantly with Social Networking because friends can know friends who know you!
The main reason why these two services is so popular, not just being able to make friends easily, but rather… everything that you put on your profile is being labeled with Tags or Keywords – you are now a “Tagged Man” or imagine yourself as a Christmas Tree with all the nice labels hanging around!
Back to the example of keeping lobster as a pet, if you have shared this interest on your social networking and social bookmarking site – I can be anywhere in this world and I do share the same interest as you! I can just join the popular social network sites, do a search on anything on “lobsters” – voila… you can be sure that I will be able to find you!
If you are ready to start letting interested people find you and join you, join some social network sites and also start social bookmarking today!
