I have spent the last few days working on social networking sites. The first one I tackled was LinkedIn.com, then I was on to Facebook.com. My first try at this was MySpace.com.

I must tell you, that this could be a lifelong commitment. I spent 2 hours alone just on Facebook.com. Just trying to figure out all the applications and how to get them to appear on my home page.

Then there is the “friends” issue. So far, all my friends are from the other social networking sites. This could go on forever!

I have also registered 2 of my client to these sites. I have added there profiles, sent out “friend” requests and so on.

One source that I did find helpful was from my mentor Joan Stewart. She has just updated her Special Report #17:Powerful Ways to Promote Your Website. This report is full of information on social networking. It list all the links for the different sites as well as the niche sites. You can read all out the Special Report at http://tinyurl.com/2srm93

I now limit my time to about 2 hours per week on this. It is just too consuming.

We’ll see if it pays off……
