Social networking sites have, almost overnight, pushed into my daily activities, and suddenly I am spending hours and hours online doing all kinds of stuff that is supposedly helping my business.

It has all made sense to me and I have even created diagrams that teach people how it all works as a marketing tool. However I always get asked, “Does this really work?” Great question.

In this past week, I have had two new clients sign on to work with me who found me online. One person read one of my E-zine articles; How to overcome mental blocks. The other read an article I wrote on Silver Vixens; Women who begin businesses after age 55.

In both cases, I had never met or spoken to either of these people. They both read my article, liked it and went to my website and from there they contacted me wanting help with their business. I  am still in a “Wow,” mode. This really does work, however you need to have  certain things in place:

1. Have a well thought out marketing plan.

2. You must have a strategy that makes sense.

3. A website that correctly markets your business.

Without these three things in  place  you will spend hours online and get nowhere. Sound familiar? If you are going to spend all that time online, why not make sure you are getting results! Do the three things above and it will be worth it.
