Hi Dave and Dawn,

I agree, those examples of selling straight away are so in your face, or another way of putting it is 'falling with the door into the house' (translated from German)

Building a relationship first and showing a genuine interest in the other person would build trust and then the other person maybe open to what we have to offer.

Cheers

Hi Dave, you are so right. I get emails like that all the time. Rome was not built in a day – neither are relationships. I don't know where people learn this from but it's the FIRST thing that will turn off people, that's for sure! Thanks for a good read!

A good explanation of Social Networking but I think we should use existing social network like Ezdia. As here you not only do social networking but can build and grow your own network professionally, can do freelancing and lot more.

I agree with Kathy. Social media is more of a connection tool than a sales tool.

I think of it like a hang-out for people who just want to talk about random stuff and reconnect with friends. They don’t want to be sold to!

I have just designed a new website and have used blacks grey and orange. I was going to make my own icons but then I saw these, they fit perfectly with my colour scheme as if you knew what I was doing… lol

Yes, yes yes! This is what needs to be said. I got 5 new friend messages on facebook yesterday that had the product link attached. This was the FIRST contact these new folks had with me and already promoting their products. I have a “special file” I put those folks in. Thanks for this post.

I couldn’t agree more with every point you made.
My twitter DM’s are full of junk like- want to know your IQ score,who’s famous, ck out my
site, and some DM’s don’t even bother to follow you.
You would figure that if someone wants to send you a DM(direct message) they just might
consider typing a few key strokes. That’s what I do and think Twitter should stop allowing
people to send automatic messages as a DM. What do the rest of you think?

What a great post! It’s so true, the majority of people seem to think that social media sites are spots for them to put up billboards. That is Not attraction marketing!!

As with any business, online marketing is one of developing relationships. People do business with others they know, like, and trust. These sites are a great way to meet others who may in some way help you to grow your business, but the focus should be on the word “meet”. Get to know people, and if it’s meant to be, you may end up forming a mutual beneficial business relationship once you’ve built trust.

Thanks for this awesome reminder!
