Social Media – The Good, The Bad, The Ugly – What Do You Know?
Filed under: Relationship Marketing, Social media
With regards to Social Media for your online business, we can show you the beauty and the beast scenario of this type of online marketing. As an example let’s take a look at Facebook as a media for Socializing on the internet.
Recently I started looking at social media as “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” – you never know what connections are going to help, hurt or destroy your online business. Facebook is an online media that brings millions of users together being able to connect with each other at whatever level they choose.
Some users prefer to socialize only, with this community – keeping up to date on what their family and friends are doing is usually the goal with this group of people.
There is another group of users who prefer to use Facebook and other related media’s, as a way to connect to others who share similar interests. These entrepreneurs are looking to build a group of connections to share their business with, the goal is usually to build an online connection, hoping to increase sales.
As an example Facebook is an amazing community where you will meet all walks of life but what we never know are the results we are going to get. As with any action, business or personal, there are risks involved. These risks are not solely related to offline activity but online activity as well.
Whoever you let into your online circle of connections can improve your reputation through professional interaction as well they can hinder or harm your online reputation through deliberate or accidental sabotage.

Do you have online social networks as a resource?
Who do you socialize with online?
Do you have business contacts on the internet?
What resources do you have with your online business?
Do you believe you can be successful online by yourself?
Would you prefer to have a reliable and trustworthy network of contacts?
All these questions and yes there is a point for asking you for all of this information.
You see I do have reliable and trusted online social networks and these people make a difference in my internet projects. You need to build a network of contacts, which will give you the opportunity to have a group of people to discuss strategies with as well, a group who will provide you with honest yet constructive criticism.
In my opinion this is necessary as a part of your online strategy. Your online experience is not always going to be a straight forward journey. You will have hurdles and roadblocks to overcome. You will be tested in ways beyond your imagination, to see what strategies you put in place to overcome these obstacles.

Since 2001 Americans have been able to peek at their Google behavior patterns, showing what their top searches have been.
On Wednesday, December 10, 2008 Google released the most-popular Canuck search queries for the first 11 months of 2008. Canadians have always shared a passion for hockey, beavers and maple syrup but now Canadians have been united in their interests of Face book.com, Politics, Britney Spears and Google can prove it.
This is the first time Canadians have had a peak at their Google behavior, as well, Google released similar results for 35 other countries.
This is a good lesson on keyword and keyword phrases and a great addition in our 7 part series.

They go a bit further than this as anything you query on gets stored in a huge database. Read more
