Social Networking: web 2.0 online social networking

Social networking as a way to increase business is really nothing new. People have been connecting socially and recommending products or services and gaining referrals from those social connections probably since the concept of commerce began.

Social networking groups like BNI, chamber or commerce meeting and the like have also allowed people to use social networks to enhance their business. However, the the development of web 2.0 sites, social networking has been taken to a whole new level. Now you can network, attract people who are interested in the products or services you offer and gain referrals without leaving the comfort of your home office.

However, there is social marketing etiquette and rules of the web 2.0 sites you need to know, if you want to be able to use online social networking effectively. This Monday, July 7th 2008, The WorksTeam will be conducting our regular Monday Night Training webinar on the topic of Social Networking and you are welcome to join us:

Title:   The WorksTeam Mon. Night Training Call

Date:  Monday, July 7, 2008

Time:  9:00 PM - 10:00 PM EDT


Social Marketing – Web 2.0


Blogs, Squidoo lenses, YouTube, bookmarking - and social networks, like LinkedIn, Facebook, myspace, etc., are all ways to get information out there that links back to you and attracts your target market to you. But if you don't play by the rules, you can be viewed as an online “spammer” which will hurt your marketing efforts, and can even get you kicked out of the social networks.


On this webinar we will be discussing what social marketing really is, how it can be used effectively as part of your marketing plan, how you can leverage off your connection with the WorksTeam to the benefit of everyone, and how to avoid being seen as an online “spammer”.
