Social networking is one of the best and biggest things to happen to the network marketing industry maybe ever. So if you’re involved in a home based business and you’re not on some form of a social networking site you’re really missing the boat! What is social networking exactly? It’s pretty simple actually. Social networking sites like Twitter, Myspace and Facebook allow you to create a profile and chat with, leave messages for and socially interact with friends, family and anyone else you choose no matter where in the world they live.

A lot of people might be tempted to believe that these sites are only for college students and teenagers. However, the truth is that people are marketing their home based businesses on these hugely popular sites all the time! I’ve seen 70 year olds on Facebook! It’s defiantly not just for kids!

Now that we’ve established that you need to take part in these interactive websites there are a few things you need to know. First of all these sites are not intended for you to blatantly market on. Sure you can do that. However, it probably won’t be well received and you won’t reach a lot of people by doing that.

People come on to these sites to be personal and have fun. So what you want to do is just be a real person! Take off your marketing hat and just be who you really are. Now while you’re doing that of course you are more than welcome to market your business (hey, it’s a part of who you are right!) just make sure you do it all in moderation!

Also, while these sites can help you get a lot of attention to your business they can also be really addictive! So try not to use them as your only form of marketing online. And don’t get too sucked in otherwise you can wake up from your internet coma and realize you’ve spent 4 hours on Facebook! (Believe me I’ve done it!)

So if you’re not already a part of the social networking revolution get started today! It’s the easiest and most fun you can have marketing your business online!
