Best Social Networking and Micro-Blogging Sites

Social networking

Generate leads and help close sales by increasing exposure and developing relationships. Another purpose they serve is to improve your organic ranking, as search engines are now sending traffic to your site based on these social networking “traffic sources”. Here are just a few to consider…

1. LinkedIn - Use LinkedIn for business referrals and leads. A great way to introduce men to your business. This business-oriented site is used for professional networking and has a primary demographic of males averaging 41 years of age. Your developed “connections” are people you know and trust in the business. Your connections, connections & their connections (called second degree and third degree connections) allow you to be introduced to possible business opportunities. You can join relevant alumni, industry, or professional groups of your choice.

2. Twitter - Use Twitter to notify your clients of latest business developments; promotions and business initiatives. Demographic of 35-49 is biggest. This “follow-me” site allows you to put in up to 140 characters which are displayed on your profile page and delivered to those who have subscribed to, or are following you. You can restrict or allow open access to your “tweets”. It’s free unless you use SMS (short message service). 6 million unique visitors monthly. Currently the fastest growing site in the Member Communities category for 2009. Although discovered by the media, still under 7% of the population uses it, but growth over last year was a whopping 1,382% .

3. BizNik – Use BizNik to establish yourself as an expert in your industry through articles and content. BizNik is for people building real businesses. It’s a good place to go to share conversation about your business and entrepreneurial endeavours. The site is based on relationships, not referrals. You can teach a seminar; post on the boards; download your articles; host an online event; attend an online event, etc.

4. Facebook – Use Facebook to “tap into the fountain of youth”. Join in by city; workplace; school, etc. You can choose your friends and use privacy settings which allow you to control what type of information is automatically shared. The most popular application is the ability to upload unlímited photos. You can now also send “gifts” for $1.00 with a personalized message to your friends; and post free classified ads to those in your network. 228% growth year over year, with the fastest growing demographic being those 25 years and older.

5. MySpace - Use MySpace to recruit, educate, introduce and boost awareness of your business and industry as a whole. One of the fastest growing websites of all time, with the primary user being 18 years of age and older. This interactive network is a user-submitted site of friends, groups, videos, musicians, photos, blogs, etc. You can use “bulletins” to deliver your message; designated groups can share a common page and message board; full service classified listings are available; you can upload recordings, and much more.

Doorway To The World Of Rss

I have so many people ask me about RSS

Automagically Update everything with 1 Click you say?

I decided to shed some light on the RSS subject.

RSS (”Really Simple Syndication” but sometimes “Rich Site Summary”) is probably the most important aspect for promoting your site.

It can be used many different ways.

You can “embed” or “include” many different types media as shown in this example – RSS References from W3C Schools

You can use tools to “crawl” your static website and create rss feeds on the fly…pretty cool ha?

This is the best one i found. feedity.com
Create RSS Feeds for Any static or dynamic Web Page or the entire web site.

These feeds can be submitted to Google Base, Facebook, any widget, wordpress etc…And be Displayed on the page.

Whats great about this is the “set it and forget it” type of syndication. It updates automagically each time a page, post or item is added or updated saving you a whole lot of time to do other important things like run your business.

In the top of your browser click the orange square that looks like this up by the URL to the right.

If you click this button ( assuming your using Internet explorer 8 or Firefox) you can read or subscribe the feed to appear in your favorite home page.

You may also want to ad your “buy it now” button in your feed so people can shop for your products on another website and be redirected to your website when a product is clicked. Again when your products are updated so is your feed automagically.

I hope i shed some light on just how important RSS is for your website, what RSS is, and what RSS can do.

Oh….WordPress Has 100% RSS Syndication! FREE
