Social Writing: Don't ignore networking sites

There's a lot of buzz online right now about whether or not one should use social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.

Are these sites important for content marketing? You'll have to decide for yourself and for your business. But it sure does look like you can't ignore this trend.

I try to stick to writing topics on this blog, and our other blogs, BizTipsBlog and BuildaBetterBlog, focus on online marketing.

But let's face it: there's a lot of overlap when it comes to writing content to market your business. What you write on your blog can easily get pushed to your Facebook profile and to any other places you choose.

I'll be brief. Our friend and colleague Kathleen Gage has been writing a series of posts at www.themarketingmindset.com about social networking. Go read her recent post because what you learn may surprise you. Denise has also written about social sites a lot.

If you want to integrate all these new tools into an effective and time-saving marketing system for your business, register for our 4-week mentoring program The Law of Action 2.0 - Attract Clients and Build a Money-Making Business on the 'Net, starting July 1, 2008.

I had the privilege of participating in this program with these 3 powerhouses - Denise, Patsi and Kathleen - earlier this year and all I can say is RUN do not WALK to join this program. The content is RICH and will have you in MASSIVE ACTION fast! I not only learned tons, I learned HOW to actually apply it realtime - not someday but IN THE RED HOT MOMENT. Listen to what they have to say and then take that information and apply it immediately. They know what they're talking about.

If you're on the fence gathering butt-blisters, do yourself a favor. Get your rear in gear and JUST DO IT. You'll be so glad you did!

Patsi ...

Kathleen Gage comes across as a very dynamic personality. Thanks for having her on your teleconference this week. She's a real straight shooter!

I'm just beginning to understand and recognize the "overlap" you've mentioned in this post. As professional network marketers, being able to effortlessly direct blog posts to social networking sites is pretty amamzing to me! We should utilize each and every venue we have available to us.

Write On!
