Are you a member of a social media group where most of the time people only post links about their businesses, but don’t add any real value to the community? Me too.
Have you ever wondered… is anyone visiting those links? Me too.
I often scan through the post to see what’s on the wall in various Facebook Groups. Most of the time I pass them by because they don’t add any real value to my professional or personal life. Additionally, many of the links are for network marketing businesses and while I’m all for business opportunities the way that these business are often promoted don’t add any value to what I’m doing.
When I do click on a link it’s because the link seems to have something of substance that will benefit my professional and/or personal life. Going a step further, when I invest money it’s generally because the product or service fills a need that I have. Sometimes the need is indepth information and other times it’s to make my work flow more productive and/or efficient ie it helps me make more money.
People are seeking to get beyond the fluff in online communities and social media groups. I’ve come to know that the fluff is part of the territory and to some degree appreciate it, because it makes adding value a lot easier. After all if everyone were adding a great deal of valuable content, then I would have real competition in going the extra mile. 
If you’re interested in a group that add tremendous value for writers, authors, bloggers and publishers seeking to publish their own ebooks you’ll want to visit the Facebook Epublishing Group.

When you want to get more out of your social media activity for your business work towards being social. Put yourself in your audiences shoes, do you really think they want to hear another sells pitch about how great your product/service is? Do you think they really want to hear about how you’re going to help them get more money? They’ve most likely heard it before.
Share practical information and over time people will come to know and respect you as the authority on a given subject. People will be willing to share your name and resources with others. This is how you properly use social media to market and promote your business ie be social in social media.

The groups that you get the most value from our the one’s with healthy discussions around the groups focus. In this way business owner/operators even marketing professionals will find it easier to include links to their blogs, websites, social communities, articles, books and audio, etc. Remember to keep it social when using social media.
Make it a point whenever you’re in a group to add tremendous value. A simple way of doing this is by asking relative questions and responding to other people’s questions. You’ll get more when you give more while using social media.
You’ll have a tendency to post your links especially when on Facebook Groups and Pages, but resist doing this without contributing to the community. Over time you’ll find you’ll get more value when you add more value. While most people may not comment many people do watch your movement in a group and often follow you from various social networks to another. Always add a great deal of value.

There is etiquette in every aspect of human interaction both in business and social situations.
Using ALL CAPS is like SCREAMING at someone when corresponding online and via email and is taken in offense especially when coupled with intense and possibly passionate conversation. Some people are unaware of this. However, now that you know that using ALL CAPS is like SCREAMING at someone you get to make the decision as to if you will continue using them or not when corresponding online.
The message we are sharing and the message that is being received is often two different things. We should all be mindful of this when communicating both online and off.
It has been my experience that factual information stands on its’ own merit and is very difficult to argue. However, the facts should be presented at that -as facts. In the event that you have two fantastic arguments or points of view wisdom teaches us to agree to disagree and keep it moving. To foster continued conversation on any parties side is often unproductive and a decoy at minimum -it is wise to remember why you came to any particular social media community. Remember to add tremendous value, help other get what they want and connect on a real level.
