| SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKS AROUND THE WORLD - GOOD PLACE'S TO ADVERTISE YOUR BIZ AND INCREASE YOUR REVENUES.. |
|
I hope I can provide all of you with new and exciting huge networks around the world where you can promote your businesses. I am by no means an expert on any of them, so help me out. __________________________________________________________________While Facebook is the Grand-Daddy of them all, with over a billion members I hear, it is more of a place for many to hang out their laundry and pictures, many that shouldn't be. No doubt they make millions from their advertising services. But from my perspective, I really get frustrated having to scroll through it all and it takes a lot of time, so I don't look at it very often. But, can't knock success, obviously millions love it, play the games and pay for using some of them. But, what about value, I get an ad in once in a while but not sure they generate anything. What do you think? If you have had success from advertising, perhaps you could share your story with our members. Let's discuss and hopefully I will learn something. __________________________________________________________________There are other popular site such as MySpace, Twitter and Flicker which most of you are familiar with and so I won't spend much time with those. They are popular and effective I'm sure. I use Twitter occasionally but I am not really sold on it. For sure it reaches well over 300 million. Many millions of tweets were posted during the recent election, and there may have been some value for some, but again, time is very valuable to me and I don't care to scroll though them. Occasionally I get a couple from Donald Trump and they are always interesting. But I have yet to see anything that will help me grow my biz, how about you? I must be missing something?? What do you think? ____________________________________________________________________I have never used Flicker so cannot comment much. I only know that it is a photo sharing site and used extensively by Photographers who display millions of beautiful pictures. There are multiple ways to get your photos displayed and keep up with your friends. Flickr is home to over five billion of the world’s photos. Yahoo ads do appear. Place to advertise your biz?? Anyone doing so? Your comments will be appreciated by all.

| Recently while I was researching new places to advertise, I came across an article written by Matt Ferner of Practical eCommerce in April of 2011. He said, and I quote ''Social networks have popped up all over the web. Businesses often think of the top four social networks -- Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and MySpace -- as the only game in town. But there are hundreds around the globe with millions of users who can be targeted via these networks by businesses.'' He provides a list of 76 which I am using as my guide to research and discuss here. I have found many more and hope to get to as many as possible. Perhaps you know of some and I would be interested in them all, please email them with any information and specifics you may have. I will try to look at them all and we can discuss here. I wonder if there is any software out there that would automate the posting of an ad to all of these at once??? If you know, I would be interested in it. Please advise. |

| Wooops... Flicker is spelled ''Flickr'' so let me clear that up right now (dang spell checker got me again). And there are others that are similar.... ''Fotki'' popular in Europe, Eastern Europe and Asia per Matt and another “Fotolog'' which is a photo sharing and photo blogging social network, popular in Spain and South America and also gaining in the U.S.A. with about 20 + million users. I haven't looked at these yet but I will and will comment later. The first thing that comes to mind is that this type of social site probably gets a lot of activity all the time. An active audience is ideal for online sales. What are your thoughts? |
