Social Media, Networking, Blogging and Uploading Videos, what won’t people do today to get more clients? Even the President of the United States of America is on these sites and they are doing him a lot of good! But what really works? What’s doing better than others? Lets go over some of the sites.

Facebook and Myspace. In the beginning they seemed to be more of the friendly young crowd sites you use to meet someone and make friend with. But now it’s become a great place to meet like-minded people and that can be for business or pleasure. The only thing about these kinds of sites is that they were not made for the purpose of social networking in from a business point of view. Facebook for example has about 1% of the world’s population on it but you and I can’t see that since a members list is not available. So you only get to add people to know by name or who are friends of friends.

With blogging sites, you need the time to put up posts on a regular basis. In twitter, it’s great for sort of getting a fan base for your self and for meeting other people like yourself doing what you’re trying to do. There are many different Blog sites so depending on where you’re from and what you do it’s best you pick a site that can benefit you the most, or join many sites and keep them running as long as they are working out for you.

Video Posting is another great social media gig that, yes, President Obama does so well. No need to say you have to be able to act or project in the video! If you’re selling something you don’t want people think you’re a lunatic, so this gig is not meant for everyone. For those of you, who can do it, by all means get your face in you tube and get people watching you and listening to what you have to say. Reading something on someone’s blog is far different from watching a video of him or her whether it’s a good or a bad thing is up toy you.

Other sites such as Linkedin or Ecademy are also great sites but are more standard in other countries. So many sites are in, some are flying under the radar, but what matters to you would depend on what you do and what you sell. It’s not a bad idea to try out a few of your top picks and see, which grows for you more, and stick to it. But don’t expect a sudden rush of adds or views because on the web, half of the world is competing with you.
