The social network Pinterest, though still in its infancy, is already showing much more promise than any other social network that has come before it. Facebook, Twitter and even Google+ didn’t experience near the same growth in their first years as Pinterest has. The site has an excess of 10 million users and that number continues to climb every day. So why do people still prefer Pinterest over Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and all other social networks? The moment you visit the site, register and log on, you’ll soon learn why the site is generating so much interest from marketers and consumers alike.

Facebook, the most popular social networking platform the world has ever seen, has long been searching for more efficient ways to monetize its 800+ million regular users. Facebook is not only a great way to keep in contact with friends and family but has also been a great way to share interests and ads. With the recent launch of its near $100 billion IPO and shareholders eager to make an even larger profit from the offering, Facebook needs to find a more productive way to associate dollar signs with some or all of the individuals that use the site on a daily basis. This year seems to be a great year for Facebook, as the platform is about to launch Facebook Exchange, a new Advertising platform that could rival Google’s Adwords platform.

Informative Product Reviews Can Boost Your Online Marketing Integrity And Presence

Reply

In the world of business, both online and off, nothing sells quite like an informative product review. An informative review gives potential customers a chance to essentially try your product out before they buy. As they read the review, these potential customers are living vicariously through the author as they learn about the benefits of your product, any drawbacks and everything else they might like to learn before they make a buying decision. If you think about it, a good informative product review is just like having your own personal salesman enticing people to buy. Properly written, an informative product review can boost your image in the minds of consumers and send your sales figures through the roof.
