There are many, many examples of how people just like you have used these social media sites to expand their business network, and the results are often times amazing. Example Example Example Example Example Example Again, referring to October’s Tip, we use each of these social networks to some degree or another. 1. Facebook – I have a personal Facebook account and we created one for SpeedyPin. I use my personal account to keep up with with old school friends and colleagues in the SEO and Affiliate world. SpeedyPin was originally setup as a test. We plan on investing more time into this account in the near future. 2. MySpace – We setup a SpeedyPin profile, but rarely use MySpace because of its more successful predecessors. 3. Twitter – We setup a Twitter account for SpeedyPin, mostly for branding purposes and to promote our affiliate program. We were noted as a Corporate Twitterer here. That’s FREE PR! 4. LinkedIn – I have a personal LinkedIn account, and use it specifically for business purposes. I keep in touch with old business colleagues and connect to new people as I meet them. Now that you know what the best social networks are for growing your business network, go create a profile on each of them to see which one(s) work for you the best.

Why do some phone cards become discontinued? While we attempt to create a hi-quality, revenue producing line of phone cards, there will be instances in which the cards perceived to be winners simply end up being losers for reasons other than poor performance. Carriers create phone cards by anticipating usage and profit. They may also incorporate additional fees (e.g. maintenance fees, connection fees) in attempt to make more of a profit. Knowing this, the savvy phone card consumer attempts to discover ways to get maximum usage from a phone card. One such way is to purchase in smaller denominations and burn the card in one call, thereby avoiding the other fees. Thus, the carrier does not receive the additionally anticipated profit. Result… the card is withdrawn. In worse cases, a heavy loss because a carrier to cease business. Therefore, we must continue to seek alternative products. We’ll do our best to convey these changes to you as promptly as possible!
