Using social networking is like putting an ad in the local paper, yet it is so much more than that.  Social networking literally broadcasts your message to the masses.  Not just local, if you have local followers but global if you have followers from other countries. 

Social networking unlike the local ad in the paper though has other benefits as well.  You can build relationships, start conversations and help to solve people’s problems.  You have a life link right to your potential client or customer and can receive instant feedback or instant information about what it is that they need or what problem that they are looking to solve so that you can as a result “solve it” or provide the answer to their need.

Since social networking is a two way street it can be much more fun and more effective even than putting an ad in the local paper.  You should definitely give it a try.  What social networking sites are you involved in currently?

is changing their business model and there will be no more free Ning - Is you business setup for that change???

Many business owners utilize Ning to set up a “customized social network” for their business.  They were truly benefiting from the fact that Ning was absolutely FREE, many of them may have never considered the fact that Ning could become a “paid” tool that they needed for their business model to work properly.

That’s the thing about this ever changing social media world that we now live and do business in, we must realize that since it is so quickly changing that we must be prepared to keep up with the changes because some of them could cost us big.

As for Ning, more details and the new pricing options will be available on May 4.  Watch for details.
