Using Social Networking Websites to Promote Your Business




The goal of most business owners is to make money. This often results with the selling of a particular product or service.  However, to sell that product or service business owners need to alert the general public.  Customer cannot buy a product or a service if they do not know that it exists.  That is why, as a business owner, you need to advertise your business.  

When it comes to advertising there are many business owners who literally cringe.  Are you doing this now?  There is a good chance that you are because many advertising methods cost money. As a business owner you want to make money not spend it, right?  Unfortunately, if you believe that all forms of advertising take money, you are sadly mistaken. Although you may have to spend money to make your business what you want it to be, there are ways to promote your business and the products or services that you sell without having to spend any money at all.

Is your curiosity peaked yet? There is a good chance that it is, rightfully so.  One of the ways that you can promote your online business, without having to spend a dime, is by using something that is readily available online. That thing is an online social networking website.  A large number of internet users, in fact millions of them, belong to at least one social networking website.  

When it comes to social networking, there are many individuals who think of online friendships or online relationships. While these types of relationships are the most common, did you know that social networking is also used for businesses?  In fact, that was originally how social networking got started.  If you are a small business owner, especially one that operates an online business, there is a way that you can use social networking sites to your advantage.

Although social networking websites are traditionally focused on those that would like to make online friends or develop online relationships, there are networking sites that are designed for business owners.  These websites will not only allow you to share your business information with other business owners, but it will also allow you to develop close relationships with those that share an interest that is similar to yours. Essentially, this means that you could not only learn valuable business information, but you could also walk away with a new business partner or a new friend.

As previously mentioned, social networking websites with a focus on businesses, are a great way to promote your business. However, this does not mean that you should completely forget about the other online social networking websites, the ones that are designed to make online friendships. Although you may not learn any valuable business tips by joining Yahoo! 360 or MySpace, you may be able to get new customers and new customers is exactly what your business should want and need.

If you are looking to join an online community, you will need to create your own profile or profile page.  If you are planning on joining a traditional social networking website, to gain access to millions of potential new customers, you are urged to be careful when making your online webpage or profile.  One thing that internet users hate is being solicited for business. This does not mean that you cannot use social networking to your advantage; it just means that you need to be careful with how you do it. Instead of creating a MySpace page or a Yahoo! 360 page for your business, you are advised to make one for yourself, but, of course, you will want to include information on your business.

By joining a social networking website, especially one that is popular and has a large number of members, you should be able to generate interest in your business, including the products or services that you sell. Who knows, but that interest generated could turn into sales; thus making your social networking experience more than worth it.

Green Screen - Chroma Key




The idea of Chroma Keying is actually rather simple. The skill behind doing it successfully however, is not. Chroma Keying is when an actor/actress acts out a scene in front of a green (or sometimes blue) screen. The single colour background is then replaced with a background image ñ for example, in X Men when Archangel is flying, he of course isn't really. He is actually held in the air by ropes and pulleys in front of a green screen. The green screen background is then replaced with a bright blue sky, giving the effect of Archangel soaring through the air at great heights!
