We’ve all heard of the term ‘book marking.’ How many of us know about ‘social bookmarking?’

We use the Web for different purposes. Many of us look for particular information that is connected to our relevant field of study or expertise. Sometimes we choose to save such useful information, which we might refer to at a later time.

It was a general habit for people to organize their bookmarks of online resources in different folders in the web browser. To save us from the difficulty of finding our huge collection of references social bookmarking is used these days.

Do you know millions of people show great interest in joining MySpace, Squidoo, YouTube, etc? These are very popular social networking sites. These serve as perfect advertising medium for online businesses. You could generate your targeted traffic by using social networking sites. Social networking is the heart of Web 2.0 marketing.

Here are some useful tips on how you could promote your business through social networking sites:

1. You could widen your network – You could search for members who share the same interests as you and invite them to see your website to check out your product or service. This is a great way to generate leads at no out-of-pocket cost.

I have to admit, up until 6 months ago I though MySpace was a place just for teenagers. But I’ve learned that marketing on MySpace is a great FREE way to build a business without having to spend money on leads, banner ads or other expensive advertising.

The key to success in marketing on MySpace is to use The Law of Attraction to attract the right people to partner with and build your business. The key is to make yourself ATTRACTIVE – not in the good-looking sense, although that doesn’t hurt but I mean in the partnering with like-minded people sense.

Want to be successful in your online business and make a ton of money?  Well you better pay attention to trends.  Studying trends and then tapping into emerging markets early is key to positioning yourself for online success.

Trends create marketing revolutions.  One revolution that is currently on fire is the social networking revolution. If you properly position yourself here, you can change your life forever.

One great tool to help in identifying trends is Google Trends.  Look at the graphs below for three keywords: (1) online marketing, (2) social networking, and (3) blogging.
