Social networking. We have all likely heard of it before, but not everyone knows what it means? If you were asked to define what social networking was, would you be able to give an accurate definition? Unfortunately, most individuals cannot, even though it is likely that they participate in some form of social networking, especially online.

Social networking is defined as the grouping of individuals together into to specific groups, often like a small community or a neighborhood. Although social networking is possible in person, especially in schools or in the workplace, it is most popular online. This is because unlike most high schools, colleges, or workplaces, the Internet is filled with millions, if not more, of individuals who are looking to meet other Internet users and develop friendships.

When it comes to social networking online, websites are used. These websites are known as social networking websites. Social networking websites are, in a way, like an online community of Internet users. Depending on the social networking website in question, many of these online community members share a common bond, whether that bond be hobbies, religion, or politics. Once you are granted access to a social networking website you can begin to socialize. This socialization may include reading the profiles or profile pages of other members or even contacting them.

The friends that you can make are just one of the many benefits to social networking online. Another one of those benefits includes diversity. Unlike in most schools or workplaces, the Internet gives individuals, from all around the world, access to social networking sties. This means that although you are in the United States, you could develop an online friendship with someone in Japan. Not only will you make a new friend, you but may also learn a thing or two about a new culture.

Day 1:
Spent most of my day reading. What did I read? Enough stuff to make a normal person go crazy! But I made it through, dazed and confused. I went home kicked the dog, cussed the wife and decided this whole web marketing and social marketing stuff was for the birds. There is too much to do and so many different directions to go.

Spent some time working on the site, making sure the linking structure all worked, added a resource link, added more plugins to the software than I can count and still have not done any marketing.

THIS IS WORK!! I thought making money online was a “build it and they will come” type thing. Plug and play, set and forget. Guess that’s why I have this cramp between my shoulders at the moment…

Biggest problem that I have seen with most folks is no plan of attack and we get distracted by the web. Been sitting here for 2 hours and am just now getting around to this post. Hey there’s another link I can check out (I’ll be right back)…OOPs got distracted.

Now back to the task at hand…

10 Ways to Know You Are an Internet Marketing Loser

1. You have more ebooks on your hard drive than most libraries have books.

2. You can name every internet marketing guru by name and call them your friends even though you have never spoken to them. But you have spent hours on the pre-launch calls so you feel like they are part of the family.

3. You can quote something you read 2 years ago and still demand it is fact even though trusted people can prove otherwise.

4. You have built more than 2 1000 page websites in a single day!

5. You continue to crank out 100 or 1000 page websites every day!

6. You fear starting up your computer every day for fear of Google taking all that work from last month and flushing it out of the SERPS.

7. You are mad at the world and say “internet marketing sucks” because you can’t seem to make a sustainable income.

8. You get 10+ emails everyday about the next launch of the magic bullet program guaranteed to make you a million. Simply follow the program, dump some money on PPC and wait for the next launch.

9. You only get 3 hours sleep each night because you can’t get out of the forums. Soaking up all the good insights from the other pros that are full of great advice! Then to only go back to your old ways…can you find 10,000 keywords for the knitting niche…

10. You can rattle off every content generator known to man. You have used them, abused them, bought the next one because the last one quit working and the wheels go round and round! And your still looking!!!

Been there done it, have the shirt! No mas.

Are you getting all the web traffic and thus all the sales that your site can handle?

If not, you should pay attention for the next few minutes. I am a firm believer in mentors in all walks of my life. But you have to be careful to get mentors that know what they are talking about in the particular area you are wanting to improve on. If you have been around for anytime at all you have heard about web 2.0 and or social marketing, It is a vague term to most people but to a few select it is very specific to those in the know and it can drive more traffic, read that tons of traffic, and never spend a penny on advertising.

You should take the time to investigate Social Power Linking and make the decision to join thier program and put the power of this phenomenon to work for you. Jack Humphrey and the crew have put together a resource that is easily worth several thousands of dollars and some knock offs are actually charging that for coaching, etc.

Do not let the small monthly price fool you when it comes to the amount of training and content that is available to you at socialpowerlinking.com. It is the best monthly investment that I have made in a long, long time and would suggest that you do the same and do it today. Start your journey into creating a marketing machine that won’t and can’t be shut off. Go on over and check it out for yourself, I can guarantee you that you will not find another community like this where all are working together to make all others successful!
