Business Enthusiasm

If you have a company, product or service you'd like to promote or you would like to make business contacts globally or locally- then B2B sites are a wonderful place to start.

Some of you may wonder why I build so many groups related to B2B. Some may wonder why I use so many free sites. Where are my paid for sites? These are all good questions.

Many SEO, marketing managers or web developers may already know part of the reason quite clearly. Others may think I have something tricky up my sleeve and others who have followed my different groups for years know me enough to know there is nothing tricky about what I do. I'll explain in a moment.

Having said that, I'd like to share some more links( in the end of this message) to help you and explain how they can be of help.

===============How?==========================
The most obvious is promoting product.
Making connections for business. Now or in the near future.
Finding product to import .
===========================================

But there are certainly more reasons why more and more people do not look down on free sites like they used to.

Why?

They understand the importance of social networking in a new global business society. The need to adjust to a new business generation and using the tools freely available to push one's legit URL higher in the search engines. Hence all my work on putting up free sites.

Yet, there are greater reasons that I've learnt doing this.

As members join up and post their links, promote their products and share important information - I learn so much more about the new and better ways of marketing my products, simple by following what other successful business people do. Everyday is filled with new successful entrepreneurs blazing new uncharted trails. If your not watching and learning, your snoozing and if your snoozing, your loosing. You've heard that one before! Corny, but true.

Likewise, joining and keeping track of all your free sites and tying all your social networks and Twitter accounts together are all movements in the right direction. However, you should also join up with other entrepreneurs who are putting up freely made networks. Continuously plug them in to one another through links a wise use of keywords all directly at you paid for flag ship sites.

I personally started off building my own web sites sometime in 1997. I made a lot of mistakes and spent endless hours fixing them blindsided by my desire to get things done quickly in applications I hardly understood- like MacroMedia Dreamweaver( Now owned by Adobe) and an endless line of free applications. I also spent a lot of money paying SEO specialist that were as tricky as the applications themselves that I was so desperately trying hard to learn. Many of these so-called SEO specialists will tell you that they can get you in the top 5 for a keyword or search phrase and "Guess What?" they can! However, the words they talk you into using or allow your untrained mind to talk yourself into are key words that are usually far from being the best. In short: your key word gets 0- 30 hits a month while another one that someone else is using, gets 30,000 hits a month. But, if you make enough mistakes, spend enough money- then, you'll catch on or go broke! LOL

The truth is that I learnt more through my mistakes as most people do and by reading what the average businessman messed up on -by going to many of these free forums and networking sites. Still, the World Wide Web and technology wait for no one. In short: as quick as you learn something- the quicker it changes. And the way business is being done internationally is changing also. The marriage between social networks, Google, Yahoo and your monthly website stats are all intertwined much more than you may think.


============= Summing it all up!================ Promote and use whats freely available, but do it correctly by reading and following what other successful people do. If you don't have the time to do it yourself...then you can pick up some really good names of those who can...simply by asking many other members of the B2B business groups you've joined.

Join LinkedIn
Ning Network...for starters. Join many of the free groups out there and promote and learn. The bad ones(spammers, con-artists, crooks) have a way of getting weeded out of the mix.

Please feel free to ask for support by sending me a link to your business group. Support one another. It's a win-win for all are hard working, honest and keep trying to succeed by learning through mistakes made.
