Continuing on our conversation about social networking!

This week I am going to look at gibLink. This again is a new site and not really fully functional yet. I don’t mean it is not up and working, it is and there is lots you can do but there are some aspects of it that aren’t fully working yet.
Here again is a site where you can customize a set of profile pages for your personal, business, and social affiliations, advertise in the gibLink rotating advertising system, have your own blog, advertise in the classifieds, be a part of clubs, chat rooms, streaming videos, send eCards, and more.
Some of the big pluses are: they are more geared to business than some other social network sites. They have live weekly marketing and advertising training and help you with custom business cards, post cards, and marketing cards for your business’ use. Their system includes advanced contact management, squeeze pages and auto-responders to help you build your down line. Everything they have is top notch.
As a gibLink member, you can advertise your business to the gibLink community. It is a very targeted audience as the majority of members in the gibLink community are business people who are also looking for business opportunities, products and services.
You couldn’t have a better audience to advertise your business to and you already share a connection through gibLink.
I personally have not found the site as intuitive as some. Finding your way around and making some of the changes has taken me some time. Something I don’t always have a lot of. As a result I personally have not taken it as far as I might have otherwise.
But gibLink’s slogan is “where no one is left behind”. GibLink co-founder, Ron Snodgrass says "gibLink is truly a community where everyone benefits from the efforts of the entire group". This is true and is something I am not aware of anywhere else.
GibLink is a great place for business social networking and though I am not giving these sites a rating it is one of the GOOD ones.
Check it out and see for yourself. gibLink

Marketing on Social Network site Friendswin!

Last time we were talking about Web 2.0 and Social networking. I mentioned some of the social networks last week like Facebook and Youtube or Myspace. I am not going to say these are no good and infact they are great sites but I am only going to talk about the ones I am using in my network marketing. People use them all in one way or the other. This time I’m going to talk about Friendswin.
First though I would like to remind us what social networking is all about. It really is any web site that allows interaction. It began with forums and blogs but now we have hundreds of sites that specialize in social networking (allowing people to talk to people in real time, or connect around a common interest).
Marketers love them because it allows them to build relationships with people from all over the world in an easy cost effective way. Most of them you can be a part of for free, how much more cost effective can you get.
I will share some more info about them and how to get them working for you in the future. I need to get to where I’m going here and talk about Friendswin.
Friendswin is new in fact it has only been live for a few weeks and it is not all up and working yet. They are working hard at it and what is live works very well. It is a great time to get in on it if you are also trying to do some affiliate marketing as you will be in on the ground floor. One of the features it is promoting is being able to put things on it in video with ease. I especially like it because it is also works well for promoting your business. There are groups you can become a part of in your interest area. You can put your profile up and advertise your web pages and blogs as much as you want. I find it easy to find my way around and figure out how to do what I want to do and if I find it easy then any one will be able to.
So if you are looking for a way of networking with others and building your business at the same time I think you will be pleased with what you find at Friendswin. It is the wave of the future.

Social Networking

What is social networking? Well it’s fairly new. You have heard of Myspace, Facebook, or You Tube, I’m sure, well they are called Web 2.0 sites or social networking sites. They are places to meet new people, sometimes for conversation or dating and sometimes to communicate or share something maybe about your self. More and more they are being used to market a person’s business.
Because of all the junk and lies we see every day on the internet or in our emails it’s hard to know who you can trust. The great thing about social networking is you are able to build relationships around topics or interests. This allows people to build trust and in that way market themselves and what they are selling.
These networks are great for finding new people to partner with or to market their business. But you need to know that you will need to do things differently. People on these networks are not looking to buy something they are looking to meet people, people they can trust, new people from around the world. That means like with any relationship they want to get to know you before they are interested in what you do.
The ones mentioned above are fun personal sites and there are more. There are also ones that are specifically for business.
There are too many for me to have time for them all. So in our next couple of entries we will be looking at the ones I use and think are the best in helping me market my business.
For those of you who would like to know I have a couple of web pages selling outdoor furniture “Teaks n More” and “Outdoor Cedars”. I think we have great furniture at prices you can afford. If you want have a look the links are over to the right.
Next time I’ll talk about which ones I use and then we may talk about how to get them working for you.

Veretekk’s Internet Marketing System

I said last time I would talk about Veretekk this time and that is what I am going to do.

By the way did you try the Leadsomatic? I have found it to work great. I trust you can say the same.

Inetekk's Veretekk service is "real" leading edge marketing technology. I have been using it now for a few months and though I am still learning how to use it I am impressed by the results. You see this technology is not an instant fix nor is it going to instantly make you rich. If that is what you are looking for, then your in the wrong place, and O by the way has anyone really found one of those instant solutions. I know every day we receive emails and through the traffic exchanges see them advertised and I know someone is getting rich by all the adds they are running but it isn’t the ones that are buying into the program or at best only a few of them actually making money. But I’m off topic.
Veretekk is different!
Veretekk requires you to think and learn and put what you are learning into action. Veretekk teaches you marketing skills instead of you having to trust others to do it for you. It empowers you by giving you the information you need to succeed in marketing your internet business and it gives you the mindset that you need to operate that business.
At one point I hired a company to do some marketing for me. Now I’m learning to do it myself. Now for some that may not be what they are looking for but for me, I like to learn and I like doing things for myself. The problem is sometimes doing it this way you may feel like you’re trying to reinvent the wheel. The great thing about Veretekk is you don’t have to. Every day there are different live training sessions. You get real help from real, live people. These are not pep talks they are actually helping you learn how to use the software and system, they also help you to think and act like a business.
With Veretekk you can learn how to approach your marketing and how to conduct your internet business that will lead you to success.
I think Veretekk’s internet marketing system is far ahead of its competitors with its internet marketing tools (lead generation, verified email marketing, SEO and SEM) and its training to use them.
You can try Veretekk absolutely free. Test drive it first with the silver free system. This is not a limited trial version either. They recommended that you use the free silver system for at least 7 days before you decide if you want to upgrade to the gold.
Today I am putting the majority of my efforts into using Veretekk to market my internet business.
