Social Network - The Real Deal.

I've read Daniel Scocco recent posting on his blog,DailyBlogTips about social network and how he compares it to the fashion industry.I pretty much agree with Daniel because it does have some similarity.

The fashion industry is all about glamour.About creating new trends,creating the "In thing",being cool,being seen in the right place,with the right people wearing the right trendy outfit.It is about creating new looks,competition among fashion designer and designer house,sometimes creating ridiculous fashion.It is about creating something so people will want it,not because they need it.Just so they can be cool,and people will look at them as some kind of fashion icon.

Social Network are also about being cool,being in the right social networking,the latest site where most people on the Internet spend their time,where popular bloggers and popular people in the industry hang out.When new social network site emerge,they will abandon what they have now and move to that site,creating their profile,linking with others,inviting all their friends there because,it's new and it is a new cool place to hang out,to get noticed.

There is nothing wrong about this,who doesn't want to be seen among cool people,among the top people in the industry,you will get the much needed attention and getting the boost you always need for yourself,your blog.

But what about that old social network site that you just left,that you abandon to be in this new site.What about all the friends you have there,the links that you have created.Using social network site now is not just about getting to know other people,but more and more are using to expose their work,their blog especially.But if you keep on jumping to the latest craze on the Internet,and abandoning your effort to create a whole new profile and links there,that is not such a good move.

Not all social network site have good impact on exposing yourself and your blog.While taking time to create your presence on the latest site,keep on building what you have on the existing one.Jumping to every new social network site available and joining too many of it can be bad for your blog,because you will be spending more time there instead of updating your blog and looking for resources for your post.

Join just one or two social networking site and spend just the right time on it,there are other things that needs your time to,like posting to your blog,doing your SEO,connecting with your existing readers and contacts,replying their comments and emails.Neglecting them to get new readers will be a very big mistake.Most good bloggers said that getting readers for your blog is one big task,keeping them as your blog readers is a much bigger task for you.

It is great to get notice and getting new friends from a new place,but lets not forget the real true friend that have help in making your blog popular and successful,your existing readers.Social networking sites are things that you can do,but it is not something you must do.Don't indulge yourself into just one particular things because there are a lot of other factors that will contribute to your blog success.
