The Power of Social Networking

Let me be the first to say that I do NOT understand Social Networking and have very little patience for it.  I much prefer to write and communicate with people than to become absorbed in the minutia of optimizing the technology behind things like my blog.

However, one of the things you’re getting to observe as you look over my shoulder as a reader here, is my real-life progress and occasional struggles as I work with my partners and try to grow my information-marketing business.

As you know, my partners and I have recently launched a website – www.TheRealWealthCompany.com focusing on helping real estate investors and business owners build cash flow and long term wealth.

Well, in our attempt to build our database of clients and create some "authority" within our niche, my partner Rob Powell has been doing TONS AND TONS of research on social networking.  He’s starting to talk about "digging" articles and becoming a fan at technorati, none of which makes any sense to me.

However, he’s easing me into it one step at a time.  My first step, he says is to create an account at several social networking sites including digg.com, technorati.com, newsvine.com and stumbleupon.com.  So that’s what I’m working on this afternoon.  He also mentioned twitter.com so I’m adding that too.

I’ve only spent 30 minutes thus far, and I think I’m making some progress.  I’ve created a Technorati Profile made my first posting onto twitter.  It was short… I guess that’s the point at twitter.com.

We’ll see how it goes.  My blog here currently averages about 26 visitors per day, so I expect it will be going up from there shortly… I’ll keep you posted as we explore this exciting new world for fun and profit!

Rob’s invested some time and money in social networking training.  They say if you have a website, but you don’t have a blog, you’re missing out.  I’ve never operated a blog before this year, so we’ll see if it really builds the traffic empire the gurus claim!
