Come to the Party on Twitter

I found this video by Perry Belcher on social networking and it is right on Target.

He talks about people wanting to know how you can make money on social networking? His answer? You don’ t make ANY money on social networking! You make friends and connections with social networking. Eventually down the road, you probably will “sell” them or someone they know something, but that’s not really the point of social networking.

Perry Equates Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube with acting the same on your social network as you would if you were going to a big party! You don’t walk around a party you are invited to saying.. “Buy this.. Hire me.. Come to my store..” or if you do, you aren’t making many friends at the party! You try to connect with people at the party. You might look for people that live near you, or that you are in the same live stage with or that you have similar interests with.

Perry Belcher says he doesn’t know how women start up a conversations. Well Perry if you ever read this article I’m going to tell you the big secret! Women usually meet and then start sharing things about themselves looking for commonalities…. kids, church, hobbies, husbands, single, married, divorced, empty nester… If we find something in common then ZOWIE, we are off and running and will be sharing our innermost secrets within minutes! We also often will compliment one another on something not necessarily to start a conversation or a relationship but we might want information. An example would be “.. I just love your earrings.. where did you get them?” So that woman is flattered that you not only thing she has great taste but now she gets to do something women LOVE to do.. she gets to pass on her shopping expertise! “OH! Thanks! I got them at this great little boutique over off of Mainstreet. Sally Jo is the owner, tell her Jackie sent you.”

Social networking is just like THAT! You are on Twitter, you just found the worlds best Mexican Restaurant in your town. You Tweet that.. someone else says oh I have been wanting to try that spot, they love it, they say thanks for the tip, you’ve established you both love Mexican food and you live in the same area.. pretty soon you are meeting at Starbucks and finding out more things you have in common like she says one day.. oh WOW My husbands company has a website and he told me it never gets any traffic, isn’t that what you do? … well hey “Yes it is .. I can help with that…” and now you have a friend and a client, but you never made a dime from being on Twitter.

I find myself on Perry Belchers Blog quite a bit! You might really enjoy his stuff too so visit him here.

New Gadgets for your Google Blogs

What are those things I keep seeing on blogs???

I have been having so much fun “digg” ing around the internet for all the new social networking sites and following them to great blogs! The FAVORITE thing of all is all the new gadgets I’ve been finding on other people’s blog sites. If you like any of the one’s I have on the right of my page, usually if you just click on them it will take you to their own “widget maker” page and you can get one for your blog too…

In your Blogspot Blog, just go to your dashboard, layout, page elements, Add a Gadget, you will usually need the Html/Java Script one.. click on that.. copy and paste whatever little script the Gadget maker gave you… save and wala (is that a word?) you have your new gadget… Preview to see where you want to put it and then “grab” the widget box and pull it into position. Save… there you have it.

I just found the twitter box this morning… it’s cute! And then separate from that the twitter updates, My DIGG… things I’ve found online that were interesting… not necessarily all business.. but interesting none the less. Sphinn it… a social website all about Social Networks and Web 2.0, and then of course the two coolest things were the “share this” and “add this” buttons so that you can save this blog or certain articles on any one of the many social networking sites out there…

There are a bunch of these sites.. I’ve listed some of the most popular below for you to check out….
Facebook

Any RSS Feed

So THAT’s what all those cute little things I keep seeing on the net!

It really is fun getting on these sites and seeing if any of your long lost relatives are out there. I so far have found two of my college roommates that I’d lost touch with, so if for now other reason… that made it worth it.
