Enterprises and big companies are using social networking to keep in touch with clients, attract new customers, promote their brand and form communities. Public social networks are not very suitable for this as a corporation basically advertises someone else, trying to attract thousands of people to fan pages or into groups. At the end of the day, you do not own the database of your fan club, cannot export it. This may be a problem created later in the time

There are many issues to be addressed here: data security, brand promotion and growth possibilities. Public social networks do not allow that.

Social Networking is all about relationship. People want to see people they may know or old friends and follow their life. Dating sites do not give such an opportunity. That’s why communities are so popular right now on the internet. Any social network features profiles, photos, walls, comments, ratings.

Niche social networking is a way to go for closed or professional communities. Niches offer online entrepreneur a great opportunity to start their own social network and attract the right crowd. There are lots of ways of monetizing your audience: targeted online advertising, additional services, virtual currency & gifts, company pages.

First, if you use groups or pages on popular social networks like Facebook or Linked in, you do not own the content and user database. You so to say lease the space. At the end of the day you promote someone else’s brand, not yours. Besides, what happens if that social network crashes one day? SAAS solutions won’t do either (because of monthly fees and not owning the platform). Read the rest of this entry »
