Don’t use a Facebook Group. Of over 1500 friends that I have, I’m constantly being pitched to join groups I have no interest in. That might not apply to Facebook fan groups but the idea is similar. For example, let’s say you’re an insurance agency or a bank. It’s an irritant.

Anyone can visit online meeting places like Digg and Reddit and promote the voices and opinions of others, and anyone can mobilize a group of people around a common cause on Facebook or elsewhere. Not one of them has a blog (solicitors, accountants, insurance brokers etc). Small business is slow to catch on. It really worries me!

We may never know why someone who (by her own claims on Google Groups) was pulling in $5,000/month via counseling fees, affiliate marketing programs, and essays posted to paying websites such as Squidoo, would risk it all in a scheme that only raised a few hundred dollars. There is a fine line in all of this. Answers Yahoo!
