In my Contemporary Business Communications class I read an article from Businessweek.com called “Social Media Will Change Your Business”. It starts how talking about how most of the blogs out their have nothing but useless junk on them. The report continues about how there is about 2-5 million good ones out there on topics ranging from Business to Entertainment and Motorsports to Gardening or cooking. Those top rank blogs don't get the bulk of internet traffic but the amount visitors that they do get is nothing to sneeze at with some of theses getting couple hundred thousands of viewers to a few million viewers a month. Blogs are very affected way of getting your business message out and getting consumer feedback. Think about even if your business Blog gets a small fraction of monthly Internet traffic like less then 1%, you are still getting a huge amount of people traveling to your business blog. According to http://internetworldstats.com as of June 30, 2008 that there are 360,985,492 people that have Internet that is about 22% of the world population with the number growing everyday. Image getting about ½ of a percent of them or even 1/10 of percent of them. That is about 360985 to 1804927 people a month traffic with it growing everyday like I said. Think about it everybody image that you are getting this type of traffic to your GBG sites and blogs, your business communities would be exploding, so use your blogs as vital part of building your GBG business. Are you Fired Up! Yet. Blogs are not the best part. There is new thing called Social Networking that is huge, I'm just kidding I bet almost all of you either have a Myspace, Facebook, Tweeter, etc account or know someone one that has one. Every Presidential Candidate have one, many of those running for the Senate or Congress have one.

So do you see why companies want to have a Social Network Page. The way for me to describe social networks is to think about a High School Cafeteria where you have your different groups. The sports enthusiast are in one spot, the music lovers are in one spot, the poets have their spot, etc. With social networks someone can belong to a group that is about Dragracing, a group about Hunting or the outdoors, a group of rock music lovers, country music lovers, and a group to support your Candidate for President. What cool about social networks if Nike wanted to place an ad about their new running shoe they can pay myspace or whatever site to place the ad on the home page of anyone who is a runner and that makes the ad targeted right to the group in mind. By placing ads that way companies or whatever do have to spend so much on traditional media like TV, Radio and Newspapers that it is hit and miss to get their target audience. Also if you are a fan of an artist or company you can become friends with them online and get the latest information about them. Also you can post your feelings about a product or service and companies can use to better the product or service quicker with the instance feedback from the consumers. There is a new site called Twitter.com that works like some the other social networking sites where you can be friends with others online and post messages on each others profile. You can only post a post that is 140 or less characters long like text messaging someone. Steve Rubel who has his own Internet marketing firm did an interview with the author of the Business Week article and the reporter asked why do you use Tweeter and so Steve type on his Tweeter Page “Sitting with Steve Baker, wants to know why tweet?” and with 10 or so minutes there was 20 response why to use tweeter. So to all of you who want to build a successful GBG business use your resources online like your blogs, the social networks like our new Prosperity Wellness Community Forum. So lets go out there and share this great business and our great products while doing that have some fun making money and making a difference in our world. God Bless and Good Night.
