You may not be aware but the new advertising king is web 2.0. Web 2.0 is basically the sharing of information through collaboration between internet users. Everyone knows the best form of advertising is networking. The internet allows us to network with people all over the world about certain niches. The problem is it takes time. This is why you are able to outsource offshore staff to network for you. Outsourcing offshore staff is almost like having team members telling people about your product but in the biggest market place in the world.
There are many forms of social networking. There are blogs, forums, video sharing and I am sure you have heard of those two little businesses called Myspace and Facebook. They are all legitimate business advertising systems and you can have people do this for you by employing offshore staff if you do not have time.
I know it may be hard to believe but there are professional bloggers and forum employees who simply network to create links and information about products. You are able to get direct contact with people who may need your products or who knows someone who needs your services. If you are in business I am sure you are aware of the power of word of mouth advertising.
Social networking advertising is very different to normal advertising. You can't just blog or post an advertisement on a forum. You have to show them you are an expert and contribute in worthwhile ways. Normally you are able to put your web site in your signature and sell yourself a bit there. But imagine if you were at a seminar or something and someone came in, gave a spiel and left. What would you think? It is the same premise. It is about building relationships but sometimes if done in the correct place you can get very good Google rankings for some keywords. Not only that people read forums and might just see your 'informative expert comments'. This is the real power of social networking.
Blogging is almost essential for businesses trying to develop and create traffic. There are thousands of blog resources and websites available. It is a powerful tool as it provides new pages and links back to your website. Search engines love new content on your website. By writing a high quality blog with good keywords you can increase your traffic and search engine rankings.
One of the problems is this can all take considerable time. You can employ offshore staff to be your new advertising social networking gurus at prices all small and medium businesses can afford. The benefits of doing this can be both long and short term. You may get customers directly from forums or blogs or it just may increase your search engine ranking to a place people will actually see your web site.
Everyone can use social networking as a competitive marketing advantage. New thoughts and ideas can create uncertainty but this is one of the best methods of "free" advertising online. To reap the rewards in business you must stay ahead of your competitors. People are using this form of advertising but if you act now you could very well be one of the few or perhaps the only business in your industry using social network marketing.

Dropship Direct has some unique support practices. For one, they employ moderated forums for their members to discuss problems, opportunities, marketing ideas, and more. The forums are a great idea but still not extremely useful. They are getting better than they have been, but still seem to lack participation, making the amount of content sparse. Perhaps over time they will become more robust and of better use.
