Great Article on Social Networking. This is the fastest method today to build a business around the globe. More than just business, I am gaining hundreds of friends who have something in common. It is fun. It is profitable.Walter<a class="user" href="http://www.zoom4cash.com">http://www.zoom4cash.com</a>
I'd put emphasis on the, "Too Much Hype," point. Consider how shameless self-promotion and propaganda are received in social media circles. Behavior like that will quickly get you buried, downmodded, unfriended, blocked, mocked, ridiculed, flamed, stabbed, and shot by the friendly folks who inhabit the social media space.It's like I always say. Marketing is about generating interest. Social media is about conversation. Social media marketing is about generating interest through conversation. Businesses that learn the difference will do well; businesses that don't get it will do more harm than good by trying.
I think this article really applies to professional networking. Some of the older people who are starting to explore business networking are very likely to make some of these mistakes. They may be reluctant to post some of their personal interests to make their profiles more interesting, because they think it needs to be a dry business introduction.Good article.
These are really good pointers for business owners. I also recommend to my clients that they try not to spread themselves too thin. Pick a few sites that seem like a good fit and build a solid presence in them. It is also important to follow a site's terms of use closely. For instance, know the difference between a Facebook profile (for real people) and a Facebook page (for business). This way a business is not misrepresenting themselves as "personas" as some social media "experts" suggest. The people who use these sites know when they are being duped, so it is best to be authentic.

A basic article? Yes, but to those who are unfamiliar with social media marketing, it's a good, quick overview of what not to do.
