Blogging for Points or for Business Associates?
More and more professional Blogs are entering the social online networking scene and one strategy they use is to give Bloggers, "free points" for various things they do. One prominent blogger on a Real Estate Blog Social Networking Site asks:
"Are you blogging for points or to get new business?"
Indeed, it appears that some folks are blogging for points and addicted to the entire scheme. The actual reason for the social networking blog is to make new business relationships. To this prominent blogger who asks the question about points. I say; Absolutely right on! And, indeed, since everyone posts their pictures I am sure some of them might be able to use the blogging efforts to get a date too!
Not long ago, I was just contemplating this when I hit 10 posts in one week limit that I did not expect. You can keep posting, but after 10, you can no longer have points that week. I thought, hey, that's not right, because with great points I get to move to the top of the page for my area, and yet I decided, who cares? Am I blogging for mere points or to win new business and meet smart people to do business with?
After considering all this, I have come to the conclusion, that yes, I would like to make friends and do business with the friends and associates that I meet, the question is why is everyone else wasting their time with these social business networking blogs? I mean it is just as easy to look up who in the industry you wish to do business with and call them on the phone? Something to contemplate in 2008.
