Networking on My WAHM Space: The Basics

“My WAHM Space” is a great new way for women who have businesses to network with each other! Each week, registered members (registration is free) of this fantastic community get together on the web forums, live chats and other fun events designed to help women showcase their businesses and talk about the challenges of owning a business. Each member gets their very own profile page where they may include information about their business including links to their personal blogs and business website(s). Then at different times throughout the week, members can hold online chats to sell their products and they offer some great deals!

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.

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.

Networking online by Corrie Petersen

Networking is something a business owner needs to do. It’s really important when you run a business solely on the internet. When you don’t have an actual store for people to come and visit, it is a little different and that’s where networking comes in to play.

Networking online is done differently than it is in a person to person, face to face event. I feel networking online is harder to do. Some people have a harder time feeling comfortable using a person online because they never talk to them over the phone or meet them face to face.

Knowing where to effectively market will take a little research. Knowing your target market will have a big benefit as you find places that you can use your networking skills, but may also bring you some sales. Social sites, forums, and blogs are great ways to get free publicity and put your expertise to work.
