Are Manners Not Useful on Social Networking Sites?

this is an actual online transaction on a social networking site:



DR. WRIGHT: wow, this is a quiet group
SAUNDRA JACKSON: Dr. Wright,

It is your job to build value in her product/service so that the referral buys. People spend money on what they want if you can show them that they want to.

Take for instance: Sendoutcards.com. If you send out thank you cards, appreciation cards, birthday cards or anniversary card you should see the value in this system. If you have a burning desire to see your business grow, you have a need and should see the value in the system.

Lets' do a test: go to http://sendoutcards.com/36670, create a free account and send out 2 cards, someone you love, a prospect that you have been courting, reach out to a friend.

Then tell me that this system truly is of not use to you or your business.

Just sharing

DR. WRIGHT: I think send out cards is a wonderful tool. I did not realize that this is what this particular group does.

SAUNDRA JACKSON: This group is about ways to get 50 referrals in 50 days, not just sendoutcards.

How do you get referrals. Do you send out cards in your business.


DR. WRIGHT: no, i offer something very expensive, my referrals come from customers who make sure who they refer can afford adn want what I offer. Sending out a lot of cards would only invite tire kickers who are just curious.

SAUNDRA JACKSON: Actually you are wrong. You only send out cards to the persons that you want to do business with, not every joe blow in the world. You decide who you want to do business with. Usually when we decide who wants and can afford what we have we are wrong. I used to sell online golf games to people. The price was $2400, I targeted country clubs and driving ranges. When they said that they couldn't afford it, I just said maybe you have a friend who can. They normally don't want to look like their friends have a better life than they do.

And remember tire kickers can drive Mercedes

DR WRIGHT thanks for letting me know I am wrong.


SAUNDRA JACKSON: You are Dr Letitia Wright of the Wright Place TV Show? Who inspire and educate Entrepreneurs worldwide

It's not about showing that you're wrong, it's about sharing other ways to accomplish what you are trying to accomplish.


DR WRIGHT: Thank you and have a great day.



THE LESSON HERE? Do not post if you are Angry, Depressed, Desperate or HIGH

Social Networking Sites for Business? Can You Make Money?


Ojeez.com- I belong but only get invitations from guys over 60. I am not sure what I am attracting there but It's not working for business.

Fast PItch- This site was recommended to me by my friend Maria Simone. She pointed out that you can have unlimited news releases, I used that feature a lot. I also met a great person who was on the show. Helene Wasserman- visit www.wrightplacetv.com to see it online.
They also have a webinar on how to use it.

My space- I only have about 15 friends on there,2 of which I actually converse with on a fairly regular basis. My audience is not on my space, and clearly, my friends aren't either.

Twitter- a time waster, I am not sure anyone is fascinated with what I am doing.

Plaxo- my contacts there communicate well, good dialogs happen when I participated in a poll and then made comments. Its simple and I don't get an email from them every 5 minutes. Maybe the blue is soothing to me.

Linked in- you can ask a questions that experts will answer.Thats a cool feature. They tell you how many people looked at your profile and how many times you came up in their search.I enjoy answering questions online, but I dont think I have really worked LINKED in well.

Facebook- honestly I dont know what the deal is with them. I could not register my name- so I am in there as Lacy Wright, needless to say, I hardly use that. I do belong to a group on there but they are from a different country and might thing Lacy is my nick name. It's not... so don't call me that. I tried to correct it by sending a letter to admin, and no answer came. I guess it's free 'cause there is no customer service.

Digg- I just joined to post to someone else's blog. I have not really used it or DUGG other people's site. I'll have to read more on it.

Monkey Brain- I started a fight, we'll see who comes, so far, nobody! I guess it wasn't an extraordinary position to take but we'll see.

Squidoo- I worked on my site there a little more, my lens is about the show. I am not sure that anyone who has ever talked to me has seen that lens. But for some reason, I have a not so bad ranking on that site. I am not passionate about it, but it's another site that can point back to yours.

Meet UP- every meet up meeting was canceled so I never participated and now have lost interest because my personal vision has changed. I am not longer interested in just local events.

SO bottom line, for me, money is being made at Fast Pitch
I am sure I belong to a few more I have forgotten about but thats fine, If I come across them, I blog about it.

Tell me who you actually MAKE money with, not just network with?
