Social
Networking Sites For Business
I have decided to rate these sites from 1-5, 1 being the worst and 5
being the best.
I was going to add descriptions, but it would get too crowded here on
the sidebar.
So, I'll be doing posts at The Web 2.0 Official Blueprint Blog on the
various social networking sites listsed here.
Hint: The ability to add lots of links ups the ranking, hoever, lack of
"socializing" lowers the ranking. This is where the 2-3 range usually
comes in.

From Someone Who's Been There (me)
What Is This Place All
About, Anyway?
Well,
here's the deal...
I started my online marketing career almost 3 years ago
(full-time, anyway) and at that point, I knew I had a lot to
learn.
I
just didn't realize at the time just HOW much.
To make a long story short, I started out as an affiliate
marketer. I, like many others, had heard horror
stories and misinformation about network
marketing MLM so I wanted no part of
it.
I knew that I needed to build
a website of some sort and I kept hearing that I
needed to build
a list.
I
didn't even know what HTML was!
But, I was bound and determined to figure this Internet
marketing thing out. So, I worked my butt off and absorbed as much
knowledge as I could as fast as I could.
I,
like many people I talk to on a regular basis, was working on a
shoestring budget at the time.
To make a long story short, I was, and still am, completely
sickened by all of the "gurus" out there trying to sell you and I "the
dream." Meanwhile, we end up with some fluff filled ebook that leaves
us even more confused, and...
Ripe for
an upsell claiming to make everything clear.
I vowed that as soon as I
had enough experience, knowledge, and success in my own business, I
would start a revolution.

Win Zip
The first thing you'll need is Win Zip in order to open most of the
downloaded files and applications you'll need. You can get a free 45
day trial at
www.WinZip.com.
I would suggest that you get the full version after the trial if you're
planning on continuing your Internet marketing career.
FTP Clients
An FTP client is used to
upload pages
to a website or files (that you may want to give away as free
incentives to sign up for your newsletter, for example).
Filezilla
Core FTP Lite
Places To Put Several (Or Many) Different Social Media
Profiles On One Spot.
There are aggregators
(like I Google
and Netvibes) and then there are places that are more like social
networks or social bookmarks (Pownce & Diigo) where you can add
several or many of your web 2.0 profiles and usernames and keep
everything in a nice little box.

File Sharing
If you collaborate with
anyone else or
if you teach, or plan on teaching others, you may want to check out a
free file sharing service. They allow you to upload and store files and
then choose which you want to share or not. I guess it could also be a
good way to clean out your document folders.
Just don't upload things that you paid for from other people and give
them away for free. This is file sharing, not torrent sites.
Zoho Docs
~ I really love this site. It's almost just like Microsoft Office only
it's free and you can share your documents, spreadsheets, etc. online.
Google Docs ~ Similar to the above only owned by Google.
Box.net ~ Upload, share, and collaborate files with 1G free storage.
