Why Social Networking?

I’m a business owner and entrepreneur.   I like to experiment with new technologies.  But, are you trying to tell me that I need to use social networking to make more money?  I’m not getting it.

I have heard this mantra many times. It’s easy to understand.  Just go to MySpace and look around.  It’s a mess. Unless you are in a teenage band, you probably wouldn’t put your business there.  Or, wait, would you?  The point isn’t always whether you like it and use it, but whether your customers do.

Let’s say you sell bikes and bicycle-repair services.  Your customers range in age from 10 to 79.  There are a lot of teenage cyclists who need to repair their mountain bike after crashing down a hillside.  So, are they using MySpace?   Probably.  Can you stand to get involved to raise awareness of your business presence and get more customers?  It’s up to you.

You can see from this example how complex the online world really gets.  Now add in the dozens of new Web 2.0 technologies.  For most businesses, this world is very difficult to make sense of.  That’s why you need help.  You need someone that is steeped in this online technology and uses it for their own business.  They will understand more about what is good and what is nonsense.
