Networks that work?
Hello!
Please note, this blog does not take information from any outside sources. This information may not benefit you, but it is intended to show what building networks of friends in Social Networks can, or cannot do for you if you attemp to use these platforms to gain attention to your content or referral link. There are new social network sites that are coming to our attention each and every day. Following search requests, or links from networks, you should have seen an opportunity to find a number of social networks to become a part of. Gone are the days of king MySpace. Though the king of social networking is still strong in members rolls, the activity percentages per member is slowly decreasing in the face of the new competitors. Tell us what network is working for you in a comment below.
This is the progress of what happens when you reach out to your friends at Yuwie, Facebook, ZenZuu, ApSense, Big Crumbs, and MySpace. How do you do it? What works for me may work for you. What works for you may work for me. Leave your comments below. This article will not mention the full list of available networks.
Taking this to the first person, "I" currently have profiles on (2) MySpace, (1) Yuwie, (1) ZenZuu, (1) Big Crumbs, (1) Apsense. Looking today, there are approximately 600 friends on these friends lists. The search for a sign-up begins. Because I have friends already, who are making new connections and getting referral sign-ups using these network connections. I'll be hoping to progress this blog to a point where you can come and see what happens when you set goals for gaining new referrals with these networks.
The goal is to get 5 new referrals a week to any program.
For those of you who have not spent your fair share of time building these networks, I will prelude this with, only 10% of "friends" on my lists have actually spoken with me. Many have had a friend request sent to them, and they accepted. Totally unqualified, it's time to start making connections. One of my Yuwie friends has a program that automatically searches MySpace pages for member id's and instantly sends them a friend request.
First stop Myspace. Account #2 (send a notice to hit me up) Find out who is active.
the purpose of this blog is to create a continuing update of what happens when you set a goal like this under these circumstances.

Cindy has some great advice, general advertising is the toughest part of it all. But keep in mind, the social aspect of Social Networking sites are crucial. Me, I've found that having a free (but high payout site) is a great draw. And once people start making money, they are more comfortable in working with you, and using your products.
For example..
I generally promote Six Degrees (a free social/business network site, like Yuwie) They pay $4 per referral, $3 second level, $2 third

I have accomplished the goal for this week ALLRIGHT! Now I need to determine if I'm going to use the "ROll-Over" method so that I can be sure to make my 5 a week referrals.
HA!
No, I wont do that. My goal is going to continue to be 5 new referrals in a given week, until I want to push the number up. Here's what my referrals signed up for, and where I got them so far.

Francis,
I have found after joining many other social networks that I can't do justice to all.
I have found that being active in a few and submitting
EACH blog post to google after I write it.
If it had been on an item or a product, I also write a press-release or an article about it and submitted that to google, using the same key words and of course my name being the most important one. also I send it to digg.
