The short answer is YES. Here’s how:

1. You can connect to like-minded people all over the world, and feeling connected is one of the emotional keys to creating prosperity.
2. You can learn a lot about creative ways of developing streams of income if you network with entrepreneurs and solo practitioners.
3. Your authentic self will have a means to express itself. Even though there are certain etiquettes that are best to follow, there are lots of ways to be creative.
4. If you have a business or practice, you have to opportunity to carefully craft how you want to present your product or service to a large audience. This often brings up feelings that you can examine and work through as you move into a larger arena.

I especially recommend Facebook for small business owners and solo practitioners. It presents many opportunities for increasing your customer or client base.

I’ll be announcing an exciting seminar in the near future to help you learn Facebook techniques for building your business.

If you decide to give it a try, after you sign up, do a search for Joan Sotkin and add me as a Friend. Include a note that you read my blog or subscribe to Prosperity Tips. I’ll be starting a group soon where you can ask questions and get feedback from others.
 

Go to Facebook Now

In my book, Build Your Money Muscles, I talk a lot about connecting to others in order to create prosperity. After all, money comes from people, and if you want more money, you need more people in your life.

I’ve been taking the time to learn Facebook and other networking sites, usually referred to as social media. I’ll admit  that I avoided this for a long time because it seemed too time intensive. But I can see that it has great possibilities.

The whole social media universe can seem quite daunting. Start with one and let your network grow. I think Facebook is a good place to start, There are a lot of business people congregating there now and it’s a good place to promote yourself and/or your business.

I’m reading Facebook for Dummies, which is simplifying the learning process and giving me a lot of good ideas. 

If you aren’t  on Facebook yet, follow these steps:

1. Set up an account (it’s free) and be sure to upload a picture and fill in your bio information. What’s great  about Facebook is that only your "friends" can see your profile, if that’s what you choose, so you don’t have to fee vulnerable.  
2. Read Facebook for Dummiesor go through the Help file on Facebook
3. Add to your Friends list. You can look for people you know by searching for their name. Or go to my page (search for Joan Sotkin) and add me as a friend, then you can see who I’m friends with and ask them to be friends. Once you check their profiles, you can decide if you want  to keep them on your friends list.

This is a good way to start. I’ll have more to say as I move along on this path. Take it slowly, so you’re not overwhelmed.
