Blowing the cover on what was a great technique to sell a product is not very SMART if you ask me.

I think I have one slight advantage when it comes to social networking, it’s called a 15 year old daughter. LOL!

But it’s true, we were in the hospital this past Friday for her chemo treatment and she was on the computer on a new one, I was like, “What site is that?”

“Mom that’s a new one I’m having fun with, cool features.”

I can’t remember which one it is when I do I’ll let you know.

The ONLY one I’ve ever taken to liking is Facebook. But I have to admit it does feel “strange” mixing personal family members with any marketers I may know in my friends list.

What do you think about that?

My program has a different slat – it’s all blogging, so I don’t think it’s really relevant to compare it to StomperSMARTS at all. They compliment each other very well though

Cost wise Yaro beats out the world but does he teach the same philosophy as Stomper Net? I know Stomper Net coaching program just started but for people starting out like me it would be nice to know that we would definitely be getting our moneys worth with Yaro’s course.

thanks for the feedback,
Jim

If you look at Facebook you get a chance to interact even with almost no content except a profile and maybe some pictures, Facebook adds the apps for the rest of the communication.

Business topics do better on Reddit, Stumbleupon and can do well on Myspace over time

Topics of mass appeal such as weight loss, personal finance, politics do well on Digg, Facebook, Myspace, StumbleUpon

Bottom line is that you need to watch the top posts, take a look at the groups and forums and see if your topic is widely covered, if not, move on.

I tested it with a Squidoo and another website I like–and sometimes hit glitches.

Happy to hear about Trail Fire. Be sure to read the StomperNet PDF. More valuable tips in there that are NOT in the video…gotta go 5 seconds to StomperNet launch!

I couldnt help but add comment to nan’s comment.

Yes, I think you have missed the point.

If all you are trying to do is to build links and make money through social networking and you don’t enjoy it – sounds like a job to me.

And having a “job” was not on my agenda when I wanted to work for myself.

I have only been on Facebook for a few months and yes, I agree with you about the drinks and other widget stuff – I tend to stay away from that – but what I am trying to do is to join groups, add to the discussion forums and help people who are asking for help.

this does give me the links for my SEO stuff, I suppose (and yes, I am here in this business world to make money and profit) but this is the cherry on the cake for me.

Building relatinoships with people either online or face to face is crucial to business, isn’t it. Facebook allows you to have conversations with people and build those relationships

And it is the human beings that spend the money with you, isn’t it? – not the search engines.

IN regards to your comment about Facebook. It is good karma on that site to do the silly things as well as the serious things. I had more people on Facebook wish me a happy birthday then I did my real life friends. When you go out with friends in real life don’t you sometimes buy them a soda or a coffee. Don’t you offer them a high five or a hug or poke them to get their attention.

If you have a favorite sport don’t you show your team spirit in real life. What about your movie knowledge don’t you share that with real life friends.

Many of these applications on Facebook enable folks who are making friends on the net a way to do in cyber space what they can’t in real life due to distance. I have friends in England and a friend in Hungary who I will probably never meet and the cool app’s that Facebook has allows me to have fun with them clear across the ocean here in Kansas.

So I hope that made some sense and now Yaro I will get off your blog for the day and let you back to running it *W*. I am sometimes too passionate about social networking on the internet only cause I know first hand how powerful it can be.

scribd.com
squidoo.com
blip.tv.com
DIGG
and
propeller.com

and of course it already talks about stuff Yaro is teaching us in his Blog Mastermind program about
Submitting your best stuff, adding value, submitting other’s stuff and also bookmarking any sites that mention your site.

Also they mention SocialMarker.com. That one is a life saver I use it all the time. As they point out initially it is time consuming to get you all set up straight across the board but once your set submitting anything to the sites it allows you to submit to takes maybe 15 minutes tops. If you have firefox you can get a button that you can drag and drop into the tool bar that will give you one touch access to SocialMarker anytime you need it.

There is one other still emerging digglike site for firefox called trailfire. I just installed it about two weeks ago and haven’t had time to really test it out but it looks promising.

Hope some of this helped you out in regards to getting what you missed.

Oh I wish I had money to join the StomperNet program.

Someday soon.

I think one of the things that is frustrating for me, is that I am a total novice to social media. When I first signed up for Plime, for example, I was banned within two days.

How is that for fast action?

So, by trial and error I found out how to navigate and participate there.

Anyway, my question to you is, have you written anything like a quick guide to social media sites?

Might be a good post or product for you to offer.

See you in the forums!

Many marketers under utilize Web 2.0 technologies because they think it’s a waste of time… Well I highly disagree! Social marketing is an excellent way to pick up JV’s for future product promos!

Have An Amazingly Profitable Day,

P.S. I was wondering if you’d be interested in doing a blog link exchange with me?
