Social Networking 101

By P. Kulenek

What is the one thing we ALL need to make money on the Internet?

Traffic.

It doesn't matter what your business is or what niche you are trying to make money in, if you don't get traffic to your site, you won't make any money.

What is one of the most effective and fastest ways to get traffic to your website?

Do you use Social Marketing websites?

There are millions and millions of people using Social Marketing websites like MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, Digg, Propeller etc. Done correctly, you can you can use these sites to get a huge amount of traffic to your site very quickly.

You might be asking, "So what is Social Marketing anyway?"

Well, Social Marketing is sites like I mentioned earlier that are controlled and powered by the users of the site and not the owners. If the users like a specific piece of content, they will reward it by "digging" it, "propping" it or in other words, sharing it with the other members of their community.

This is the main thrust of Social Media sites. If you provide QUALITY content that is useful and entertaining to others, your readers will SHARE your content. This will not only reward you with more people checking out your QUALITY content but it also creates valuable back-links to your site.

On the other hand if you don't provide great quality content, your readers won't want to share it with their community and you will be ignored, penalized or even worse... banned!

The secret to using Social Media sites the right way is to know how to set up your profiles properly and how to use each of these different sites the way that it is intended to be used.

So how do you learn how to do all of this properly? Option 1:

-sign up to each account
