You've probably been hanging out on your favorite social networking site, only to receive a friend request from someone marketing their business.
You either decided to accept it or you simply denied it.
But do you know that thousands of people accept such friend requests every single day? That's right.
Thousands of people every single day accept friend requests from businesses and these businesses are making money from it.
They are marketing their product or service, sending requests out, posting public notices through bulletin systems, and even interacting with those on their list one-on-one.
They let their friends know that they want to get to know them.
They are not just using their friends as a way to get money.
This has proven to be quite the profitable system.
It is a great way to supplement your website and your blog.
It is also a great way to get started if you don't have any startup cash.
Just because you can't afford website hosting or you can't afford to have a website built at the moment doesn't mean social networking can't open up a door all on its own.
Even the most prestigious of companies are using social networking sites to connect with their customers.
If anything, you can learn something from those guys.
Look at their page setup.
Look at what they're doing to attract people.
If you follow what it is they are doing, you can lure people in as well.
Just make sure you let them know that you are human.
