Social Networking Sites are ULTRA-popular but how does the average business owner use these sites? Here's how!

Anyone over 40 (common age among business owners) tends to see social networking sites like FaceBook and MySpace and Twitter as a waste of time. After all anyone running a business doesn't have time to be posting on walls, checking out photos online, tweeting, writing on someone's wall etc. But wait! Don't be so quick to write off these sites as powerful tools for your business and for helping your customers.

Take some time to get familiar with these sites, get a free account it takes only a few seconds to get started. Watch what other people are saying, how other people or businesses are using the site to get traffic, generate buzz, or help customers. You can also places advertising at sites like FaceBook, and MySpace but there are many other smaller networking sites on a variety of topics. Do a search at Google for sites related to your business and interests.
