Spam! Is your reputation in the world of Web 2.0 in jeopardy?

This has been addressed more times, in the MySpace forums, than I can even count now. It appears that people still don’t understand how to use a forum (any forum) the correct way.

If you are posting anything about your business opportunity in the forums, it can be considered spam. For those that haven’t been paying attention, MySpace is laying the smack down on people who do this.

Advertising your business opportunity in the forums is a great way to kill your reputation and find yourself on the receiving end of being ignored, or even worse, getting your account closed or even banned, so make sure you are doing things the right way.

1.) Share information – if you want to build trust with people and build relationships, share! If you have a hot marketing top or trick that’s working, share the wealth. When people take it from a forum, group or blog, and it works… guess who they are coming back to for more? Remember, YOU are the product!

2.) Participate in legitimate threads – if you want to win influence here, get involved. Most of the people using these forums come once in a while, spam us, and run. If you’re going to use the forums, then participate and offer something of value.

3.) A picture is worth a thousand words – keep your profiles and pictures professional and clean. You are only going to attract at the level you project. If you want leaders who are going to help you build a quality organization, be a leader!

Is your blog worth millions? It could be!

I recently attended a training call with one of the larger business opportunities online, where the focus of the session was blogging.  While the traing was very good and the people who were teaching, top notch, in my book, there was something interesting shared that night that I am going to share with you.

We were told a story… a true story… of a gentleman who recently sold his blog for 20 million dollars.  Yes, you heard correctly, 20 million dollars.  In numbers, that looks like $20,000,000.  Who would want to see that in their bank account?

So what does it take to create a mulit-million dollar blog?  CONSISTENCY!  There were several reasons as to why this blog sold for such an extreme amount of money.

1.)  Content:  The content created appealed to a certain target market.  It was key worded and phrased in such a way that it received large volumes of traffic from the search engines.

2.)  Comments:  The volume of comments came from a return reader base because the content of the blog was unique and helpful to the those who watched.  Helpful information brings people back to you.  That’s what you want!

3.)  Advertising:  The blog had a track record of producing consistent affiliate sales, thus proving, that the reader base had money to spend.
