Finding an Online Community for Women in Business

As a businesswoman, it’s very important to have a good support network.  You need fellow businesswomen to share experiences and tips with.  You need women who are in fields related to yours to ask questions.  The sense of community provided by a group of businesswomen can help see you through the tough times.

But finding a group in your area isn’t always practical.  Maybe there are networking groups that you could join, but they might meet at times that are not convenient for you.  Or if you’re not in a metropolitan area, there may not be any groups that are especially for women in your area.  That doesn’t mean that you’re left out in the cold, though.

Are you using Facebook? This is a great new way to keep in touch with others on the Web. It provides real time updates on what people are talking about, what they’re sharing, including images and stories. If you are on other social networking sites like MySpace or if you blog, you can link your sites to Facebook and keep everyone up to date. One of the unique features of Facebook that a lot of network marketing people use the list of feeds available to the public. This lists the most popular topics and pictures that people are posting online. Marketing gurus can use this list to promote their opportunities and get a better response based on the trends online. With the millions of people using Facebook every day, you can take advantage of this growing network and increase traffic to your own website.

Do you Twitter? It’s the great new way to increase traffic to your website by providing a way for you to find out who’s talking about you!

This network marketing tool was invented to allow companies to monitor others in the Internet who are talking about their products and services in real time. That means, if you have a company, you can set up targeting tracking of how and where people are talking about you by using Twitter. Some highly respected companies like Dell and Comcast are using Twitter to monitor Internet “chatter” to find send out responses to consumers who may be interested in what they’re doing.

Don’t Just Find Customers, Keep Them

Experienced business owners value the importance of their customers.  They will tell you that customers are the lifeblood of their business.  Because of that, many business owners believe that the key to success is to constantly find new customers.  But this is not the case at all.

Smart business owners know that the real key to success is to develop long-standing business relationships with their clients and keep them coming back for reorders and new products or services.

Social Networking in SEO by Mercedes Aspland

Firstly let’s think about social networks generally and what their aims are. The best way to think about this is that they are similar to search engines where they want to make the best content available to users. However the value of the content is determined by the popularity from its members and not from a mathematical algorithm. For examples the articles with the largest number of diggs will find themselves on the front page of Digg.com.
