This is one question that many  people think they know, but the sad thing is the vast majority of marketers do not know how to effectively use Social Media in their business. Most Internet Marketers get on various social sites and try to start selling stuff right away. This is the wrong mentality to take when building up your social media presence. Social media is about interaction and building up a reputation and if you use it as such you will make a lot more money in the end. Perry Belcher does a good job of explaining this aspect of social media in the video below.

Just ask yourself this question, If you met someone on the street and they immediately started trying to sell you a timeshare, would you become friends with that person? Probably not. Social media is no different. Talk to people on social media with the intention of making friends. After you have made friends with them, then perhaps they may be interested in what you are selling but never assume that is the case. The main goal of social media is to network with likeminded people. If you make a sell or two because of that networking then great otherwise just enjoy the friendship. If you take this mentality with social networks then not only will you make more money from them you may just make a good friend or 2 or 10,000

MySpace has won another lawsuit against a spammer Scott Richter and his Web marketing company, Media Breakaway LLC of Westminster, Colorado. MySpace has been aggressively targeting people who spam their website. This is just an example of how a good thing gets abused by Internet Marketers. It was not too long ago that eBooks on how to market to MySpace and even software that helped you do this was sold throughout Internet Marketing forums all over the web. As a result you have MySpace fighting back and winning.

A lot of marketers do not think about these types of things when they post how to do something to generate traffic and then others start abusing the methods until they are worthless to everyone. That is one reason I don’t sell eBooks on the techniques I use to generate traffic. I publish posts at times that give some insight into methods I use, but i don’t publish my best secrets. Well I might once a lot of people start to figure it out and then I’m on to something else while others are spamming an otherwise effective method to the point that it does not work any longer. Wake up people and keep some secrets to yourself. You can make more money long term from the traffic than you can short term from an eBook.

I’ve seen this around for a while, but I just got around to actually signing up for an account. Yuwie is a social networking site much like MySpace of Facebook, but this site actually allows you to earn a portion of the revenue your traffic generates for the site. This is not a new concept as it has been done before with varying websites and programs. I think one of the main difference with Yuwie is people actually get paid. I’ve talked to a few of my associates who are already generating several hundred dollars a month with the service and they have only been in a couple of months. Of course I can’t promise you will do the same, but if you can build up a decent team then who knows.

I figured I would give this a shot. I’ve got a few ideas for generating some leads. One of which is posting here. Yes those are affiliate links and if you join through one of them you will be come part of my team. There are some fairly savy marketers jumping on board here and there will be resources coming down the pipe to help people with attracting new members.

I’m betting most people who are reading this already have a built up profile that can be used to start building your team. It was just a year or so ago that MySpace was all the rage and many people where earning a lot of affiliate revenue from their friends list on MySpace. Well Myspace started cracking down and it got tough to send out your broadcasts. Well perhaps many of you still have some of those MySpace accounts. That is prime ground for attracting people to your team as Yuwie has many of the same features as MySpace and Facebook has. Plus wouldn’t it be great to give all your friends an avenue to actually earn a little of the money the generate for MySpace and Facebook. After all what do you have to lose? Setting up an account is free and it is really easy to use. There is a video that will explain exactly how it works so you cna make up your own mind. While the money you can earn initially won’t be a lot, but I would bet if you had just one MySpace account with a 100 friends then you would be able to improve those initial numbers in a hurry. What do you have to lose but a little time? Watch the video now.
