Just think about it. I'm making $$ while learning and sharing proven principles by pro's,
on how to create, maintain and monetize traffic to my brick and mortar business and online affiliate sites. The BBBC is my hope and means to buy back ...my time and financial
FREEDOM. The doors to the Club are open. http://budurl.com/ls5w

Any kind of social networking is good and really dependent on your products. You don't want to limit yourself to just one area unless your product is marketed is directly related.

Thanks BE for identifying these social-networking sites and what makes them tick. Google's first marketing guru, a Mr. Seth Goodwin, would totally agree with your conclusions I think. His thing today is to service the "tribe" online, and that's exactly what we are.

Several years ago I participated in and personally witnessed the popularity of black networking online. It was not unusual (during the start-up of Black Voices, NetNoir) and the launch of GO AFRO on Compuserve/AOL which I co-directed, to experience people paying $12/hr and hundreds of dollars per month hanging out online with Black folks in forums. It was all good then, and with free to low cost access today, its good now.

In fact, it started here: "The ..80s - The first Ph.D. in Computer Science was awarded to an African American during the late 1970s. Black computer geeks in colleges were creating Black Disaspora online. Word spills over into newsgroups. List servers are activated...." I reported on my blackSoftwaredotcom Black Cyberspace History page which covers 1980-1999; and Eventually AFRONET was born. AFRONET was the first Black owned indie operated city-to-city discussion networks, before NetNoir, AOL, BET, BlackPlanet and others joined the fray.

Those were the days! Imagine that! $12/hr to chat online. These profitable online fee revenue streams for socializing with the tribe are gone, but it was a good ride while it lasted.

I'm doing a hybird social-networking/311 site now at aboutblackbostondotcom and having a good time, but I will always remember how I became an online social networking butterfly, thanks to the AFRONET sysops..

I am a member of the Black Business Builders Club and the main reason I joined was to learn how to market successfully over the Internet. There was no other place, that I knew, to get this knowledge without having to pay a high price for it. I have learned how to create websites with opt-in pages, blogs, video postcards and joined several Affiliate sites (http://gwenswealthformula is one of them)You can also check out my Black Business Builders website at: http://dreambigfireboss.com

Very informative article. If you're not using social networking to promote your business, you are leaving loads of money on the table. One of my marketing clients actually found me online and placed a rush order. It definitely pays to establish a presence in online social networking communities.

Without a doubt social networking is new for a lot of us. However, because we are in the Obama Administration, CHANGE is here and we must accept and adapt to it. Technology does not stand still and neither should you.

This story is very interesting. I have found my niche because I am the Niche. As a plus size women, I face criticism everyday about my weight, at one time it was very hard for me to plus size clothing that was stylish enough to fit my 5'10 size 16/18 frame, I tried to be a plus size model, but was told that I was too large to model. I tried diet after diet and failed resulting in some serious low self esteem. So what did I do? I started my own social networking and empowering site for women like me. Women who are the average size 14 at 5'4. The real woman!! Club Cushions offers resources for plus size women in many avenues.
#1 Empowerment

#2 Raising self esteem,self worth, and self confidence

#3 Health and wellness(although we are plus size this does not mean we have to be unhealthy, and we have two trainers and a nutritionist on the site)

#4 Fashion, Style and entertainment

#5 Retreats, Traveling, and Events

#6 Community: It is very important to give back.
Not only is Club Cushions about empowering plus size women we are also for raising awareness in the community with future non-profit ventures geared toward tweens, teens, and women.

#7 Finance

http://www.clubcushions.ning.com

I started Club Cushions in January 2006 because I felt there was a need in the (BBW) big beautiful women community, and plus women community to have a positive space on the internet. If you google the term (BBW) big beautiful woman all links sent you toward porn site, and if you googled plus size women it wouldn't send you much of anywhere unless you were an aspiring plus size model!

I wanted to create a venue, positive community, an atmosphere for the average size woman out there who, just wanted to embrace her curves and live life to the fullest! Club Cushions is for the Confident and Curvy Woman!

We are family on this site, so show everyone love and respect to one another!

Club Cushions is not just for BBW's and plus size women , it is also for anyone who support and love our movement! We appreciate the love we get from anyone who shows the love.

Not only is Club Cushions about empowering plus size women we are also for raising awareness in the community with future non-profit ventures geared toward tweens, teens, and women.

Club Cushions also stresses health and awareness. Yes we are proud to be confident and curvy, but health comes first. We have an online nutritionist and trainer who Blogs twice a month, and who is willing to answer any questions dealing with health and fitness!
