Online
Networking & YOUR
Potential Customers
Online networking
is so FUN. Why do you care about networking? Well,
never cut yourself off from meeting new people. You never
know when that person you are IMING or EMAILING may one day
help you in some way or be connected to you in some magical
way. It sounds really lame, I know, but I have met some really
great people online that has helped me a lot in my endeavors.
But networking doesn't have to be all work and no play! There's
so much to see and do online I end up staying on the computer
all day long trying to keep up with emails, messages and playing
online games against people! I think by far myspace,
friendster,
youtube,
vidilife,
flickr
and xanga
are the best networking and blog sites out there. Thanks eveyone
for all your love on those sites. You all are the best!
Youtube
is fun because they let you post just about anything you want
up there. Except of course the really x-rated stuff but that's
good because it keeps it clean for everyone. So go to the
search bar at YouTube and type in "shih tzu puppies"
and click on sort by "view count"... you'll see
my puppy video has 2723 ratings and 535139 views.
At one point in time, it was under the "honors"
section as the most viewed in "Today" "This
Week" & "This Month" categories. Now how
did I get a simple puppy video to be viewed by SO MANY people???
And JUST THINK... if I was trying to sell something and wanted
people to see it, what better way of advertising for free
is there? I put up a cute video for people to enjoy, but at
the same time I get 535139 potential customers if
I was trying to sell something! I'm just a simple girl and
don't have anything ingenious to sell, so this doesn't help
me much but it could do YOU wonders?!?!
Vidilife
is a fun networking social site as well because you get to
play games for vidi-money and then you use that money to make
new friends and buy people vidi-gifts. It's a very neat idea
I think! It fell more interactive than other sites. Great
job guys! Go take a look at the "Most Viewed
Female" Area and see who you find there. Also
check out the "Most View Photos"
of all time at Vidilife... guess who you'll see there as well!
See, I do know how to schmooze my audience! Again, image the
possibilities of ALL these viewers being potential customers
if you have something GREAT to sell!!!
Myspace,
wow that site is so popular. I love it. I feel so special
that so many people want to be my friend! Hehe... I love the
internet! I never made this many friends in high school or
college combined! But I know of course half those people are
just doing it as a popularity contest. It's all good though!
I heard it's a great place to market your ideas and inventions
too. I'll have to try that someday! Myspace is a little more
tricky. I had a wonderful account setup with about 11,000
friends and they deleted my account without notice. I believe
they did not like the fact that I stuck a URL as my name.
Other than that everything else in that account was PG so
I don't see why it was removed. It also could be that I got
all those 11,000 new friends within a two week period.
Heheh ^_^ My trains compliation will help you do that too!
Just don't over do it like I did... Since then I started a
new ID and I'm keeping it at a slower pace
and more on a down low...

Friendster
was my most favorite networking sites when it first came out.
Since then so many other sites came out that a majority of
my friends ended up moving to Myspace. I found friendster
the most reliable in finding old school mates and ex's. Other
than that I rarely go back to it now. It still brings in quite
a lot of people and traffic according to Alexa. But then again
how reliable are those Alexa ratings???
Flickr
is a very nice photosharing and networking site too. I love
flickr because you can add your photos to groups you belong
to from your profile pages. Unlike other sites where you have
to login to the actual group and then upload a picture to
the group, Flickr allows you to go to all your photos and
pick the groups you want to insert the photo in via a dropdown
box. It makes submitting group photos SO EASY! Do some looking
around on Flickr and you may see some interesting pictures
on that site. *wink*
