Social Networking Sites for Entrepreneurs | My Top 3 and why
1. LINKEDIN
LinkedIn is My #1 choice for a social networking site for entrepreneurs because of the following: A)LinkedIn has always been the website commonly associated with business and professionals. People go on LinkedIn with the intention of doing business transactions. Many businesses will often research professionals or companies on LinkedIn before doing business. B)Social Media Today found that 45% of B2B marketers have gained a customer through LinkedIn. C)Article content you publish on LinkedIn ranks highly on many search engines. Specifically, it's one of the top 5 sites that google indexes regularly. D)Unlike Facebook, you can have a maximum number of 30,000 personal connections and after that an unlimited number of people following you. E) There lots of groups for virtual networking be it by geography, business category or interest.

2) FACEBOOK
Although Facebook is primarily billed as the social site for connecting with friends and family. There are proven effective ways to use facebook that make it number 2 on my top Social Networking Sites for Business, these are: A)People do business with those they like and trust so through using your social profile you and sharing your life with a few business posts in between, you can actually attract customers

and business partners. There are many six figure income earners within the network marketing industry who have that as one of the cornerstones of their recruiting and sales. B)Facebook groups similar to LinkedIn are plentiful and cover all topics and regions. Leveraging groups effectively and connecting with other business minded persons through groups can be a great way to grow your network and then your business effectively. C) Facebook ads is, in my opinion, superior when it comes to really doing targetted marketing and this is the final reason that they made it to number 2 on my list. Check my other blog post where I share strategies on how to advertise on facebook (free and paid). 3. IBOTOOLBOX
This is a little gem that I found recently that I've fallen in love with. It's a free and very active social network for small business, online marketers and network marketers or mlm-ers. This made my top 3 because of the following: A)It provides a suite of free tools and services for the online / internet marketer. B)The community is of like minded and open minded business owners. It's thriving and I have already connected with several gogetters within my field that have shared some amazing tips and lead sources with me. http://digitalbloggers.com/business/social-networking-sites-for-entrepreneurs
