Let me take you back. Can you remember when the Internet was in its infantry when business people or people just starting out in either a home based business or a conventional business would pay good money to become part of their local Enterprise Breakfast club meeting or would attend networking events maybe a little further afield?
This is how I see Social Media groups. I see them as global networking events. Let me share some of their benefits to you the owner of your own online:
• Cost Zero To Join
• You Can Attend Them 24/7, 7 Days Per Week, 365 Days Per Year
• These Are Global Events
• You Can Have Them Working On Auto-Pilate (Even when you sleep!)
• Network With Major Players In Your Niche Market
• Ultimate In Business Potential
Here are some statistics on the volume of traffic that went through 5 Top Social Media Sites in the month of January 2009
• Facebook.com – 1.2 Million
• Myspace.com – 810,153,536
• Twitter.com – 54,218,731
• Linkedin.com – 42,744,438
• Fixster.com – 53,389,974
All statistics have been compiled by compete.com in the month of Jan 2009 and I’m sure that if you were to do an up to date search you would see more growth. In fact I challenge you do just that.
At the end of the day to have growth and become successful in any business you need to go where the multitude of people go and as technology revolutionaries the internet if you like it or not this is where people are hanging out, social media networking sites.
This is to my knowledge one of the cheapest, fastest ways to build customers, contacts, your subscribers for your lists and make tons of profit.
Social media networking groups are already big but watch out because they are about to explode and get bigger. If you’re building a business either online or offline and not yet utilizing social media networking sites then you a missing out on mass’s of business and profits.
I would strongly advice you to seek advice on how you can make these events work for you…
