<p style="text-align: justify;">The stock market appears in the news every day because of every day it reaches at new end, either very low or very high. Every day new and new people invests money in the stock market. Some of them <a title="How to Become a Millionaire by Investing - 5 Investment Strategies of Warren Buffett" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Become-a-Millionaire-by-Investing---5-Investment-Strategies-of-Warren-Buffett&amp;id=2901646" target="_blank">earn</a> well but most of loosing their money. Why they lost money because they don&#8217;t clear about how stock market works.</p>
<p><span id="more-101"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Stocks and the <a title="Stock Market or Share Market" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_market" target="_blank">stock market</a> are important, but you may find that you know very little about them. What is a stock? What is a stock market? Why do we need a stock market? Where does the stock come from to begin with, and why do people want to buy and sell it? If you have questions like these, then this article will open your eyes to a whole new world!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is a small story to make easy how stock market works :</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once upon a time in a village, a <a title="Warren Edward Buffett" href="http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/10/billionaires-2010_Warren-Buffett_C0R3.html" target="_blank">man</a> appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $15.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The man bought thousands at $15 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He further announced that he would now buy at $30. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to $40 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch it!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $75! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at $50 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for $75.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought all the monkeys.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!! !</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Welcome to the &#8220;Stock&#8221; Market!!!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Internet offers a wide range of tools and techniques that allow businesses big as well as small to compete with each other. Once you design your website to get in relevant customers, you will have to ensure that you are positioned higher in search engine rankings. This requires that you use different search engine optimization techniques. The advantage of higher search engine positioning is that you get more traffic relevant to you, and who would find you within the first few pages. It helps in producing revenue online and with more efforts sustains the ranking around that place. Below are top 7 steps to get higher search engine position.<span id="more-95"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Choose keywords : </strong>Choose appropriate keywords using different tools like Overture, WordTracker, etc. Find keywords that have the potential to generate lots of traffic that you are targeting. Using unique keywords can get you top ranking, but it does not necessarily mean relevant traffic. Also do not use such keywords which are so popular that you may not get anywhere near the top rankings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Content development :</strong> When you are optimizing your site it will have to be on the basis of content that you put up. Knowing what keywords to use you should develop content and put the content on the website. Think about some unique ways that you may use to give your website a fresh look. If your website is new, find out the different techniques like blogs, articles, forums etc that may be used for optimization and back linking.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Site structure :</strong> Having a solid structure is very important. The structure should be such that can be easily crawled by search engine spiders as well one which proves to be very attractive as well as easy to use for the visitors. Prioritize what you will place where and put the tags like Title tag with appropriate keywords accordingly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Optimization :</strong> Search engines try to find the information like we read the books. When any search keyword is entered, the search engine will look for relevant information from top left and go towards the end of the page. The placement of keywords in the title tags, the beginning of the website, the starting of paragraph etc helps in optimization efforts. You should also keep in mind the keyword density which may range from 5% to 10% even12%. Though keyword usage is important, use it only as much as is readable to the visitor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Internal linking :</strong> For optimization purpose internal linking also helps. You may have a variety of information that you would place on different pages. Place links such that search spiders are also able to easily navigation and give you a higher position for relevance of information.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Testing :</strong> Once you have designed and optimized your website, testing it is necessary. Ask them to find certain information and find how much time it takes. They may even be able to give you feedback about the content as well as the design.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Link building and submission :</strong> After you have designed your site submit it to article directories and directories to build back links, which helps in positioning or ranking. If you are able to find good partners to share links it would be of immense help to generate traffic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Success comes in many forms and from many directions. Often it does not come easily and all the obstacles and distractions thrown in our direction will do their best to stop us from acting on our dream and achieving the success we want.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I find it helpful, when I&#8217;m going through a difficult time and the obstacles look insurmountable, to read about how others have succeeded &#8212; in whatever way they were pursuing their dream and working to make it real.<span id="more-65"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Everyone who has striven to succeed knows at least one motivational quotation about success. Here&#8217;s your opportunity to vote for your favorites.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you don&#8217;t see your favorites, please add them to the comment.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">1. Thomas Edison</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">2. Sir Winston Churchill</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- Sometimes our best is simply not enough&#8230;. We have to do what is required.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">3. Helen Keller</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened; vision cleared; ambition inspired, andsuccess achieved.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">4. Henry Ford</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can&#8217;t build a reputation on what you are going to do.</p>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">48. Anonymous</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Success is your dreams with work clothes on.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">49. Irving Berlin</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The toughest thing about success is that you&#8217;ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in business. You&#8217;ve got to keep working that talent.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">50. Robert L. Schwartz</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The entrepreneur is essentially a visualizer and actualizer&#8230; He can visualize something, and when he visualizes it he sees exactly how to make it happen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Advertising is one of the most important things present in or society today. Advertising helps to keep the consumers informed about whatever new products or services are available in the market at their disposal. It helps to spread awareness about products or services that are of some use to consumer and potential buyers.</p>
<p>The main aim of advertising, many believe is to sell. These are the kind of people who vehemently oppose anything that make advertising seem unethical. Advertising on the whole helps business as well as the economy to prosper and makes the consumer aware of the various choices that are available to him.</p>
<p>Here is one of the best incident from the life of The Richest Man in the World &#8211; Andrew Carnegie.<span id="more-55"></span></p>
<p>He set a well establish business but he was against the advertisement. One agent of advertising agency meets Mr. Carnegie everyday to take an order, he feel that one day he should get the order.</p>
<p>One day in the early morning the agent reach to Mr. Carnegie&#8217;s office for the advertising purpose. Agent ask Mr. Carnegie on the negative response from him for ads.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to know from you why you not interested for advertising ? Explain me on time that there is no meaning of advertising &amp; I will never come to you for this purpose&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr. Carnegie said that &#8220;My products already sells without any advertisement &amp; also people buy my products themselves than tell me what&#8217;s need of advertisement ?&#8221;</p>
<p>At the same time rings bell in church which is on the mountain far away from them.</p>
<p>And agent said &#8221; Have you listen the bell which is ringing ? For how many years the Church is there ?&#8221; Mr. Carnegie said &#8220;The church is very old about for 100 years  &amp; also famous.</p>
<p>Now agent said &#8221; For last 100 years the church is on that hill, also people know about it than also every morning &amp; evening bell rings there, Do you know why ? B&#8217;coz God also remembers to people that don&#8217;t forget me, I am here&#8230; According to me(agent) this is also a great effort to reach more audience.</p>
<p>This incidence wash Mr. Carnegie&#8217;s mind, they started the advertising. Now he feel that good things also needs explanation.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently I have read on the<a href="http://www.quicksprout.com/2009/12/28/10-business-mistakes-that-will-nearly-break-you-literally/" target="_blank"> Neil Patel&#8217;s</a> Blog &#8220;If you want to be a big corporation like Apple, Google, or even Microsoft, you have to think big, right? Wrong!&#8221;. But according to that&#8217;s not true. To be a successful in the life must have to think big. But think big only not works, for that everyone should work hard.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/M_dVfdkBVIY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/M_dVfdkBVIY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many people want to achieve success in life, but it&#8217;s easier said than done. There are so many distractions that it can be challenging to discipline one&#8217;s self to accomplish a monumental goal. By keeping the following advice in mind, however, you can dramatically increase your chances of becoming successful in whatever you choose to pursue.<span id="more-49"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Check Out how these people get success in their life</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BKXFGVMO3pc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BKXFGVMO3pc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Below are some steps to be successful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><strong>Define the meaning of success as you see it.</strong></strong> You cannot have success if you do not know what it means for you. Everyone views success differently. Set clear goals and be realistic. How will you know when you&#8217;ve achieved your goals? Your standards should be quantifiable, or else you could spend your entire life chasing after a vague goal. For example, let&#8217;s say you want to be good at your job. You get a promotion, you get a raise, but you still haven&#8217;t reached your goal because you could always do better, right? You could always get promoted even further, or make even more money. Whatever you have will never be enough. Instead, create benchmarks: &#8220;My goal is to increase my productivity by 30% and only be late for work five times per year, at the most.&#8221; These are quantifiable goals that when achieved, give you a sense of satisfaction and completion, making you feel successful and confident.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><strong>Study successful people.</strong></strong> Look around&#8211;who has the success that you envision for yourself? What are they doing? How do they approach life? Become their apprentice. Ask them for advice. Spend time around them, if you can. Learn from them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><strong>Take risks.</strong></strong> Step out of your comfort zone. Successful people think big and act big. It can be a scary thing to do, but if you don&#8217;t, then will you ever be successful? Don&#8217;t wait for opportunities to fall in your lap. Sniff them out. Successful people make big investments (in their careers, in their businesses, in their education) and all investments involve risk. But don&#8217;t be reckless. Study your risks, make sure the odds are in your favor, then take a leap. Be bold.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><strong>Solve problems.</strong></strong> People who are successful encourage progress by solving problems and answering questions. No matter where you are or what you&#8217;re doing, look around and try and think of ways you can contribute. What are people struggling with or complaining about? How can you make life easier for them in an effective way? Can you re-design or re-organize some aspect of the situation so that things run more smoothly? Can you create a product or provide a service that fills a critical gap? Be proactive and resourceful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><strong>Be persistent.</strong></strong> Don&#8217;t give up. If your first attempt didn&#8217;t work, don&#8217;t quit. When asked about his 10,000 failed attempts to develop a storage battery, the prolific American inventor Thomas Edison responded: &#8220;I have not failed, I&#8217;ve just found 10,000 ways that won&#8217;t work.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><strong>Remember that success does not guarantee happiness.</strong></strong> Success is equated with the achievement of a goal, but don&#8217;t assume it will always bring happiness. Many people make the mistake that if they accomplish this or that, they&#8217;ll be happier, but fulfillment and satisfaction have a lot more to do with <em>how</em> you approach life than with <em>what</em> you do in life. Keep that in perspective.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-45" title="twitter" src="http://www.quickfunction.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/twitter.png" alt="" width="224" height="55" />We really can’t deny the fact that businesses are testing out Twitter as part of their steps into the social media landscape. You can say it’s a stupid application, that no business gets done there, but there are too many of us (including me) that can disagree and point out business value. I’m not going to address the naysayers much with this. Instead, I’m going to offer 50 thoughts for people looking to use Twitter for business. And by “business,” I mean anything from a solo act to a huge enterprise customer.<span id="more-44"></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">50 Ideas on Using Twitter for Business</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">First Steps</h3>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li> Build an account and immediate start using <a href="http://search.twitter.com/">Twitter Search</a> to listen for your name, your competitor’s names, words that relate to your space. (Listening always comes first.)</li>
<li> Add a picture. ( <a href="http://redcouch.typepad.com/weblog/2008/08/7-tips-for-new.html">Shel</a> reminds us of this.) We want to see you.</li>
<li> Talk to people about THEIR interests, too. I know this doesn’t sell more widgets, but it shows us you’re human.</li>
<li> Point out interesting things in your space, not just about you.</li>
<li> Share links to neat things in your community. ( <a href="http://www.twitter.com/wholefoods">@wholefoods</a> does this well).</li>
<li> Don’t get stuck in the apology loop. Be helpful instead. ( <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jetblue">@jetblue</a> gives travel tips.)</li>
<li> Be wary of always pimping your stuff. Your fans will love it. Others will tune out.</li>
<li> Promote your employees’ outside-of-work stories. ( <a href="http://www.twitter.com/thehomedepot">@TheHomeDepot</a> does it well.)</li>
<li> Throw in a few humans, like <a href="http://twitter.com/richardatdell">RichardAtDELL</a>, <a href="http://www.twitter.com/lionelatdell">LionelAtDELL</a>, etc.</li>
<li> Talk about non-business, too, like <a href="http://www.twitter.com/astrout">@astrout</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/jstorerj">@jstorerj</a> from Mzinga.</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Ideas About WHAT to Tweet</h3>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li> Instead of answering the question, “What are you doing?”, answer the question, “What has your attention?”</li>
<li> Have more than one twitterer at the company. People can quit. People take vacations. It’s nice to have a variety.</li>
<li> When promoting a blog post, ask a question or explain what’s coming next, instead of just dumping a link.</li>
<li> Ask questions. Twitter is GREAT for getting opinions.</li>
<li> Follow interesting people. If you find someone who tweets interesting things, see who she follows, and follow her.</li>
<li> Tweet about other people’s stuff. Again, doesn’t directly impact your business, but makes us feel like you’re not “<a href="http://shannonpaul.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/dont-be-that-guy/">that guy</a>.”</li>
<li> When you DO talk about your stuff, make it useful. Give advice, blog posts, pictures, etc.</li>
<li> Share the human side of your company. If you’re bothering to tweet, it means you believe social media has value for human connections. Point us to pictures and other human things.</li>
<li> Don’t toot your own horn too much. (Man, I can’t believe I’m saying this. I do it all the time. – Side note: I’ve gotta stop tooting my own horn).</li>
<li> Or, if you do, try to balance it out by promoting the heck out of others, too.</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Some Sanity For You</h3>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li> You don’t have to read every tweet.</li>
<li> You don’t have to reply to every @ tweet directed to you (try to reply to some, but don’t feel guilty).</li>
<li> Use direct messages for 1-to-1 conversations if you feel there’s no value to Twitter at large to hear the conversation ( got this from <a href="http://www.twitter.com/pistachio">@pistachio</a>).</li>
<li> Use services like <a href="http://search.twitter.com/">Twitter Search</a> to make sure you see if someone’s talking about you. Try to participate where it makes sense.</li>
<li> 3rd party clients like <a href="http://www.tweetdeck.com/">Tweetdeck</a> and <a href="http://www.twhirl.org/">Twhirl</a> make it a lot easier to manage Twitter.</li>
<li> If you tweet all day while your coworkers are busy, you’re going to hear about it.</li>
<li> If you’re representing clients and billing hours, and tweeting all the time, you might hear about it.</li>
<li> Learn quickly to use the URL shortening tools like <a href="http://www.tinyurl.com/">TinyURL</a> and all the variants. It helps tidy up your tweets.</li>
<li> If someone says you’re using twitter wrong, forget it. It’s an opt out society. They can unfollow if they don’t like how you use it.</li>
<li> Commenting on others’ tweets, and retweeting what others have posted is a great way to build community.</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">The Negatives People Will Throw At You</h3>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li> Twitter takes up time.</li>
<li> Twitter takes you away from other productive work.</li>
<li> Without a strategy, it’s just typing.</li>
<li> There are other ways to do this.</li>
<li> As Frank hears often, Twitter doesn’t replace customer service (Frank is <a href="http://www.twitter.com/comcastcares">@comcastcares</a> and is a superhero for what he’s started.)</li>
<li> Twitter is buggy and not enterprise-ready.</li>
<li> Twitter is just for technonerds.</li>
<li> Twitter’s only a few million people. (only)</li>
<li> Twitter doesn’t replace direct email marketing.</li>
<li> Twitter opens the company up to more criticism and griping.</li>
</ol>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Some Positives to Throw Back</h3>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li> Twitter helps one organize great, instant meetups (tweetups).</li>
<li> Twitter works swell as an opinion poll.</li>
<li> Twitter can help direct people’s attention to good things.</li>
<li> Twitter at events helps people build an instant “backchannel.”</li>
<li> Twitter breaks news faster than other sources, often (especially if the news impacts online denizens).</li>
<li> Twitter gives businesses a glimpse at what status messaging can do for an organization. Remember presence in the 1990s?</li>
<li> Twitter brings great minds together, and gives you daily opportunities to learn (if you look for it, and/or if you follow the right folks).</li>
<li> Twitter gives your critics a forum, but that means you can study them.</li>
<li> Twitter helps with business development, if your prospects are online (mine are).</li>
<li> Twitter can augment customer service. (but see above)</li>
</ol>
<p>What else would you add? How are you using Twitter for your business?

<p style="text-align: justify;">The Internet is changing all the time, so it&#8217;s important to take advantage of the  best Internet marketing strategies out there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Blogging is one of the Best Internet Marketing Strategies, creating a constantly updated, personal web site &#8212; has had a huge impact on the way information is presented, published, and consumed on the Internet. And for online marketers, blogging is a huge opportunity.<span id="more-38"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Adding a blog to your website is a great way to boost your ranking in the search engines &#8212; the search engine spiders love fresh content, and a frequently updated blog will keep them coming back often!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A blog is also a great way to keep in contact with your customers and put a &#8220;human&#8221; face on your business. After all, it&#8217;s unlikely you&#8217;ll ever have any face-to-face contact with your customers, so showing them you&#8217;re a real person can be invaluable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here are a few <strong>Internet marketing tips and strategies</strong> to help you start your blog and turn it into a traffic magnet!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First, you have to choose which software you&#8217;ll use. Here are some choices we recommend:</p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><a title="Blogger" href="http://www.blogger.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Blogger.com</strong></a>&#8211; this is Google&#8217;s blog platform, and it&#8217;s very easy to use. Just sign up for a blog and you&#8217;ll be posting in five minutes!</li>
<li><a title="typepad" href="http://www.typepad.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Typepad.com</strong></a>&#8211; this software charges a small monthly fee and is a bit more sophisticated than Blogger.</li>
<li><a title="Wordpress Blog Tool and Publishing Platform" href="http://wordpress.org/" target="_blank"><strong>WordPress.org</strong></a>&#8211; this system is better for more advanced Internet users, as the software is a bit more complex. However, it&#8217;s free, so there&#8217;s no harm in trying it out!</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One of the <strong>best Internet marketing strategies</strong> is to pick a name for your blog that relates to your business, and includes your top keyword, if possible. Say, for example, your website sells solar products like solar water heater, solar home lighting system, solar lantern. You could call your blog &#8220;Best Solar Products&#8221; or &#8220;Let The Sun Pay Your Energy Bills&#8221; or &#8220;Best Solar Home Lighting Systems&#8221; &#8212; whatever best describes your business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Keep in mind that one of the most important <strong>Internet marketing tips and strategies</strong> is that you must post on your blog <strong>regularly </strong>for it to be valuable. People won&#8217;t keep coming back if there&#8217;s nothing new to read! Try to post something every couple of days, or at least once a week.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your blog posts don&#8217;t have to be perfect, or long, to be effective &#8212; bloggers tend to use a chatty, informal tone in their posts, and often write posts of under 400 words.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-40" title="the-computer-demands-a-blog" src="http://www.quickfunction.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/the-computer-demands-a-blog.gif" alt="" width="480" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Starting a blog can bring new streams of traffic and frequent visits from the search engines, so take advantage of one of the <strong>best Internet marketing strategies </strong>and start your own blog today!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> seems to be the hot social network these days that people of all ages are getting involved with. If you don’t currently have a Facebook account, I highly recommend that you go and signup now. If you already have an account, it is time to start using it to your advantage. Facebook is not just a place where you can connect with your friends, it can actually be used to further your personal brand and career. Here is how you can use Facebook to its full potential:<span id="more-27"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Don’t stay in your circle</strong> – You need to get away from just interacting with your high school or college friends and start interacting with people within your industry or other industries that you want to get into. An easy way to do this is to join groups that interest you as well as make friends with people that you want to get to know.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fill out your profile (fully)</strong> – The best profile on Facebook is a complete one. This doesn’t mean you should fill out your name and contact information, it just means you need to complete all the fields available.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Don’t be shy</strong> – The purpose of Facebook is to connect and interact with other members, so don’t be shy! Interact with other members by writing on their wall, commenting on pictures, asking your friends questions, and most importantly telling all your friends happy birthday. Doing all these things will help others to get to know who you actually are instead of just knowing your name.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Spice up your profile</strong> – <a href="http://mashable.com/2007/05/24/facebook-platform-30-apps/" target="_blank">Facebook Applications</a> lets you spice up your profile by adding things that interest you. For example, I added a YouTube application to my profile which allows me to embed YouTube videos onto my profile for others to see. Now if you are lame like me you can place funny videos on your profile or if you are smart like <a href="http://scobleizer.com/" target="_blank">Robert Scoble</a> you can add videos of yourself that are related to your profession. By taking the Scoble route more people will learn more about you and what you are good at.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Build it, and they will NOT come</strong> – This isn’t the <a href="http://www.flixster.com/movie/field-of-dreams" target="_blank">Field of Dreams</a>, you actually have to market yourself on Facebook to become popular. In most cases this is done from interaction, which I talked about above, but you can also do things like adding photos of yourself and other Facebook members. When you do this the other people that you tagged in the photo will get emailed, thus increasing the number of people who see you on Facebook. Some of the other things to consider are creating a group on Facebook as well as creating your own application, which could be distributed to all your friends.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Keep your profile up-to-date</strong> – If you don’t keep your profile up-to-date it will start dying down. By keeping it up-to-date it will gain more traffic and more people will get to know you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is pretty much how I leveraged Facebook so far and it has worked for me. I haven’t gotten too many job offers from it, but I did get to meet new people within my industry.</p>
