Hi Friends,

I found the following social networking sites to be very useful for small business owners in terms of marketing and networking.

Small business friendly social networking sites.

www.moli.com - One account, multiple profiles and create your business page and group. More emphasis on privacy.

www.vator.tv - Submit your business video pitch.

www.ryze.com - Ryze lets members organize contacts and friends; upcoming events; and even job, real-estate and roommate classifieds

www.xing.com - An account with networking site Xing can "open doors to thousands of companies."

http://www.ecademy.com/ - Ecademy prides itself on "connecting business people" through its online network, blog and message-board chats

Explore and enjoy.

biznik.com is my favorite small business friendly networking site. StartUpNation.com has also been a valuable resource.

Thanks for the info . I especially liked the moli.com site. Someone suggested biznik.com as well. I have also come across a new social bookmarking site for business people.

www.bizheat.com

It's a digglike site with mainly business related stories. But what I liked most about it is that you can create your own business profile and your business is featured on the pages of the stories you submit. It seems to be a new site on the beta stage but with this social bookmarking site it is best to get in earlyand establish yourself, I think. I can never get anything to show on the front page of digg.

I suggest www.bloglines.com, it is a rather wonderful site. It offers a perfect profile, just like one's homepage....

Hi, there!

I've seen so many ads for Yuwie, and I must admit I'm very curious about it...How has it worked out for you? Does it really pay people to use it and how successful have you been with it if you don't mind me asking? If you don't want to answer in public, feel free to shoot me an email at sauter.jennifer@gmail.com. I'd love to hear all about it from your perspective!

Thanks!
