Ask yourself a few questions. How many of your friends are on MySpace, YouTube, and Facebook? How many are making money on these social networking sites? I don't know about you, but I have tons of friends and family that are using these networking sites just to find friends and post content.

What is Social Web 2.0?

Social Web Media 2.0 or web 2.0 are the social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter, and Squidoo. I have left out quite a few, but these are some of the most popular.

Many network marketers are using social networking sites to promote themselves in attraction sponsoring. Attraction sponsoring, created by Mike Dillard and Ann Sieg, is the idea of attracting prospects to you by offering something of value to their home based business. This in return will create a relationship because you are valued by the prospect and they trust you and your opinion or knowledge. The idea is to gain as much knowledge about network marketing and building a business that you position yourself as a leader on the subject.

Does this work with Web 2.0? Absolutely, because there is no other way to meet and reach the thousands or ten thousands of people other than the internet. These websites, MySpace, Facebook, and the others provide the perfect platform to allow network marketers to network. That gives them the ability to share their ideas through discussions, videos, and articles. More and more network marketers are sharing their knowledge, promoting themselves and positioning themselves as leaders in the industry. This creates an attraction to these leaders and puts them in the position of value. Now, prospects are looking for leaders to help them in their business and ultimately to become business partners.

Isn't this what network marketing is about?

Network Marketing is reaching as many people as possible and add them to your business and then duplicate your efforts. YouTube gives you the videos to reach and train thousands. Facebook, MySpace gives you the open discussion platform to meet other like minded individuals. Squidoo, and other such sites gives you the ability to create web pages to promote yourself and other related topics to your business.

Jump on board now! If you are in the network marketing business and are not using Social Media Web 2.0, you will not take your business to the next level. There are lots of college, educated, savvy, business minded individuals that are no longer working for corporate America. They are working for themselves, creating a recession proof income, and having fun doing it.
