Few days ago I talked about using Twitter in your online business…

Since I started using Twitter just week ago, I start to realize the powerful feature this social tool is offering. What it does is, you can get connected to the key people in your industry at your fingertips; Of course you got to find the correct people to connect with, and usually these people have a relatively large number of people / fans following them on twitter.

Just setup an account and start following your industry expert and learn about what they do.

The cool things about this stuff is that, when the expert shares info among the expert, you get to chip in and see those information.

Enjoy!

In early Mar 08, i talked about using facebook in your networking and since then…my network has balloon to over 250+ buddies and i make a lot of new friends, including those big names! And i have many connections from there.

Check it out here!

Man, you simply couldn’t under-estimate the power of the social media network.

To talk more about that, i started to explore into another web2.0 tool that many people are using, that’s Twitter! Have you been twittering??

Add me here!

In fact i just started playing with them yesterday and i have already got 2 people following me. I really like the idea of social media stuff where you can connect with almost anybody on the planet earth as long as they are on the internet.

I see that social media or web2.0 is the way business should move forward, even for a small business like home-based internet business.

Every business is really about connection, and connection would not happen overnight! You need time to build it.

So do something today, and connect with people in your market and you will never know who you will came across.

Talk soon,

Thomas

PS: Do you believe that i connected with Steve Job from Apple?

I bet most of you have a Facebook account..

Check out my profile here.

In case you are not aware, Facebook has since becoming one of the biggest online social website and the rate of growth is really tremendous!

How can you really make use of this website to increase the awareness of your online business? Many people have come out with ebooks and home courses to teach you on that, in fact you don’t need to.

Go and use it, try it, feel it! That’s the best way, I guess.

In fact, when i first started using this little website, i was like not so used to it. The interface is so simple. If you noticed, Myspace has recently modified their interface and do something quite similar to Facebook, they have realised the power of this little competitor has created. It has also since become the little giant in the social industry. Go to Alexa and check out the graph, you will be Amazed! And if you do a comparison of Myspace with Facebook traffic trend, you will noticed that they are actually going at different path. Go and take a look.

Now, this is how i used Facebook.

1. First step

Create an account if you have not done so, it takes only few seconds.

2. Second step

Put in some simple information that you want to share with the future friends. Write something simple and put your website on your profile. This can create a lot of awareness for your business(Free Traffic for you!), i guess any business is about creating awareness and branding yourself.

3. Third step

Go and make friends! As simple as that. Now…don’t spam the people. Make real friends and start talking to them, see what they are doing online..If you are found spamming, your account may get banned, check out their profile. You can make some great friend there. The idea behind Facebook founder is that, Internet is full of spamming nowadays and people are sick of it. Just look at Myspace.

Now, you never know when you will need friend.

In fact i have some good networking and deals being made through the network…so this is what I have experienced and you should do it also.

Tip: Check out some of the famous internet marketer profile and make friends with them and theirs too!

That’s how i started in Facebook. You don’t need to spend the whole day looking at Facebook (in fact some people does!). Just do it consistently, daily, and your network will grow very fast.

When you have certain amount of network, people will add you naturally.

Tip: People want to make friends with people that has many friends, sounds logical right?

Okay. That’s all for today. I will share with you more about that later on…

Don’t forget to add me there!
