68Using Social Networking Sites in Internet Marketing
Social networking has become a critical part of an internet marketing strategy, as described in "Seven Steps to Pure Profit". The purpose of becomming involved in social networking, or Web 2.0 is to be a part of a community. Like minded individuals develop relationships centered around their interests.
When you connect with individuals who find that they have an interest similar to yours, they will, invariably, seek to find out more about you. This translates to traffic and links to your website.
My Favorite Social Networking Sites
Here are my favorite social networking sites. All of these are sites that I highly recommend. I use all of these with at least a moderate regularity.
- Facebook
Facebook is a true social networking site, similar to MySpace, only geared more to a...how should I say it...more mature audience. - Del.icio.us
I use del.icio.us to bookmark websites and blog pages that I want to return to. - StumbleUpon
Caution - StumbleUpon can be a serious distraction if not used properly. I use it to find topical websites that I, otherwise, may never find. The websites that you "Stumble Upon" are all been recommended and based upon your defined preferences. - MySpace
The largest social networking site on the internet. - Technorati
Technorati is where people who have blogs connect with other bloggers. - MyBlogLog
A place for bloggers to interact. With the MyBlogLog widget in place on your blog, you can see when other members have visited your site. - HubPages
Yep, you're looking at one. HubPages lets you post pages to the internet. Members can subscribe to other member's hubs. - Squidoo
Squidoo is similar to HubPages. Though it is slightly more versatile, it is a tiny bit more complicated to use. Don't worry, neither require a rocket scientist to use them. - Twitter
With Twitter, you can send brief messages to your subscribers through various modes including cell phone text messages. - Flickr
Members post photos to share with their friends. - YouTube
Members create and post videos. These videos are share on Myspace, Facebook, HubPages, Squidoo, and various blogs and websites all over the internet. This is really big!
More Good Social Networking Sites
Here's some more Social Networking sites on which I have a profile, but haven't used them as much as the first group.
Other Social Networking Sites
At first, I was going to create a list of links to a large list of Social Media sites. While searching for the sites that I was going to put on my list, I came across this massive list. So instead of spending a lot of time recreating something that has already been done, I will just direct you to their list.
