Socialize Me Please!

February 19, 2008 By: Paul Category: Social Media No Comments →

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

With so many membership sites coming in to your inbox of late have you seen these two? Social Media and Social Marketing sites are popping up all over the place. Or is it just because that’s my focus?

Two of the latest entries are on the Ning platform. One of them, brought to us by the infamous Jack Humphry of the Friday Traffic Report and Authority Black book. The tagline here is, “Web 2.0 Curious? Hang out with social marketing mavens here at Friday Traffic Report’s Social Marketing Central and learn all there is to know about social site marketing!” So far so good and the membership is growing quite steadily over the last few days. Let’s face it Jack knows his stuff. If you’re looking for Social Marketing Central this is a place that is going to be or should be high in your list.

The second of the these sites has to do more with Social Media. The creator of this one is Digidave. One of the people I’ve met through my involvement over at Digg. It’s looking like a meeting place for all those that are involved in the Social Media part of the web. A good group of the top Diggers are there so you can be sure there’s going to be a great exchange of ideas and information.

If you have any involvement in Social Media or want to learn from some of the best around, then this is going to be a great place to come and play.

Social Marketing, Baby Boomers and Bold Predictions

February 18, 2008 By: Paul Category: Marketing Musings No Comments →

Have you noticed it? The it being the rise in participation by Baby Boomers in Social Marketing and Social Media sites.
I was looking through all my profiles at the pics there. Not so suddenly I saw a pattern emerging. Actually I noticed it last year, but wanted to see if what I was seeing was right.

Now we all know that the Boomers were responsible and still are responsible for a lot of what is happening media wise, BMW wise in the 80’s, anti aging in the 90’’s and now it seems they are starting to get the hang of the social media, social marketing aspect of making money online.

According to comscore.com there has been a rise in the use of online selling, social marketing to be exact. Sorry I forgot to pull the stats but rest assured it’s happening. Just take a look around and you’ll see it too.

Now being one of the later boomers, I’ll attest to the fact that it is an area that struck me as lucrative in more ways than one.

You see there are boomers out here that never ran the stock markets and got involved in real estate flipping in the 80’s and90’s. There are those that jumped from job to job resulting in little or no security. Let alone a profession. So now they have to look somewhere else for a form of security or even a place where there is no corporate ladder to deal with. Enter the internet.

So internet marketing and the use of social media is an area that strikes close to my heart. Reasons being, firstly no boss, no time clock, the ability to work as much or as little as you like and still be able to make a living.

My prediction is by the end of 2008 we’ll be seeing a massive increase in the amount of baby boomers that are taking advantage of the social marketing aspect of the internet to be able to make a living.

I’ll have more on this one later because there is a real distinct pattern emerging from it all that is going to be exciting to watch. Leave your comments and let me know what your take is on this or whether I’m just imagining things.
