Are Some Social Sites Selling Your Information?
The most recognizable social sites are; of course; Facebook, My Space, Diggg and del.ici.ous, but it seems there are actually hundreds more, that most of us have never heard of. No matter what your interest are you can join a group of like-minded people, to discuss almost anything. I am in network marketing and I like the idea of being able to work from home, so I join groups where we can exchange ideas. When you join these sites, you are ask for all kinds of personal information like, name,address, interest, age, and one site keeps telling me to upload my resume. I wasn't applying for a job. They haven't ask for blood type yet, but if they start, I may become suspicious.
Upon finding some of the social sites I joined the ones, that peaked my interest, since they were about network marketing. But since joining, I have become a prospect who's supposedly looking for an opportunity, according to the number of phone calls, voice mails and emails, I'm getting. I sympathetize with the marketers who paid good money for these leads. Some average around 5 dollars or more. What a waste of hard earned cash. Since I have a Primary Company already that I'm completely happy with, I am sure I haven't registered as being a lead, looking for another company.
If you are buying leads from different sources and such, I wish you luck. That's why I'm an advocate of generating your own leads. You know they are truly looking for the information that you provide and you can even contact them, the minute that they opt into your responder. These people are serious Prospects, requesting your Information. We've all heard the money is in the list, but through attaction marketing, we take that one step further and say the money is in the relationship that you have with your list. You must become someone that people, know, like and trust.
Remember, only Suckers buy leads, get smart, get a copy of Magnetic Sponsoring or Building On A Budget and start generating you own good quality leads
