Social Networking-My Approach

I know that this topic has come up on some of the coaching calls and so forth and many are interested in tips and ideas on social networking. It's difficult for me to be on all the coaching call live (although I listen to them), so I want to share what I am doing. I have reformatted this blog to help me do that. I added some links to tools that I am using online. These are all free tools and not affiliate links. I will add to them as I go.

Like we learned during the bootcamp, there are many, many ways to build your business and you have to find what works for you. Social Networking is the same way. There are many ways, but you have to find what works for you. I am following a blog by a social networker, Armando Arias that is providing me with advice and tips. But this blogger is participating in a different business opportunity and often promotes his affiliate links, so I will share my experience implementing his training as it applies to My Power Mall.

There are 5 social networking sites that I am going to focus my efforts on. There are so many but there are only so many hours in a day, so I am working with 5 at least right now:
  1. My Space
  2. You Tube
  3. Facebook
  4. Twitter
  5. Blogging
Today, I spent time putting together My Space Profile: http://www.myspace.com/mpmsandyw

The goal in setting up the profile was to "Tell my story" not to promote my business opportunity. I am interested in attracting others with a mindset that goes along with My Power Mall (i.e. I'm not interested in people who think they are going to make a million dollars in ten minutes by me building my business for them), so I tried to keep that in mind when I was telling my story. I actually also set up a new my space account using my business email and will only use this myspace account for building business relationships and keep my personal page for keeping up to date with my family and friends.

One tip that I do have, is that I saved the information I put into my profile into a WORD document so that I can have it to cut and paste when I move to set up my profiles in other places. Stay tuned to keep up with everything else I will be doing.

Good night, Happy Weekend!

Hi Sandy,

This information is great and I really like the way your blog is now organized. I have to confess that I don't really know how it was before as I usually just go in, read the blog and leave, but thanks to you I'll likely be paying more attention to how other blogs are organized, too.

Hi Sandy,

WOW-- You never cease to amaze me ;-). That's some cool information you've shared about your social networking. I went to your MySpace page and I think yours is the first I've ever seen ;-). AND, I LOVE IT.

It's clear you've thought it out, and followed a "system" to introduce yourself professionally while also clearly demonstrating you're just like everyone else --- hoping to create a better future.

Thank you.
