Q & A is finally here!

I admit. This blog is just a hobby of mine. I love internet marketing and making money online. As such, I spend a lot more time on my own internet marketing projects than I do updating this blog.

I am making some adjustments in my online routine and as such, I am going to start posting more regularly. What this means for you as blog reader is that there will not only be a lot more content available on this site, but I will have more to offer other ‘netpreneurs’ like yourself.

Given the numerous social networking sites, how do you prioritize what you do and how do you make sure that what you are doing is worth your time? I would focus most of my time on Facebook and Twitter. I would have to say that the most important activities are connecting with people. Find similar interests with other social networkers and connect with them about something that they like or appreciate. Social networking isn’t about selling or advertising, it’s about creating [online] relationships.... more
