Are you making any money through your social network?

How are you making money through your social networking?



You don't, that's the answer.



As you don't make money out of PR or publicity, unless you sell them to others.



What you do is build a network of people that can trust you (up to a certain level) and that you can trust (same)



Rarely one of them would do some business with you, place an order, or it is you that place an order. This is becouse most people that have common afinities don't have complementary needs or businesses.

But what this people have is FRIENDS.

So if they think you deserve a hand or that their friend might need you, they will pass the word, and give you some leads.

Most lead nowhere, and the max profit you might have is the get some more good networking friends to chat with.

Not for the evilness of your network, but hey, they cannot know exactly what their friend want. They help the way they can.

However sometime those leads lead! To business!

And if both you and your customer are happy with, you will reward your common friend with a slice of the cake, he deserves it. Without his nice thought you wouldn't of made that buk together.



Now how do you build trus to that level, is another thing!



I write in formus on issue that people ask about, for free, take part in debates and always tell the truth, as I see it!



Answer your questions, read your threads and posts, give you hints and leads, hoping that at least once in a while it could be usefull to you.



And sometimes you do the same for me.



Social networks is like a large village, here everybody knows somebody, nobody knows all of them, but with a little collaboration and common sense, the right persons got matched!



Any other question?

Get fascinated

Fascination is only one step beyond interest; interested people want to know if it works; Fascinated people want to know how it works



I didn't made this title up, but I certainly love it, sounds like ME!!!



I am FASCINATED of anything that means BETTER, IMPROVED, SIMPLIER!



I am also fascinated of having fun, raising my son, and inventing stuff, but that fits in the above category anywhay.



The thing I am fascinated about that does not fit in any of theese categories, is the same that fascinated so much Einstein, and thanks to that fascination he had a glimpse of ethernity when he understood the RELATIVITY of anything, time included!



And that would be; GOD!



Yes, I might sound anachronic, retrograde, dumb, you name it, but I tell you that the things GOD made are unlikely we can copy even closer!



Look at the birds, we understood the Coanda effect, the Venturi laws, the Bernouli formulas and the way Raynolds was pucking numbers, so we build flight machines of infinite complexity, wings of mathematically supershaped computing, with "fly by wire" computerised super systems, and with all of this we aren't even getting closer to the miraculous complexity of a birds wing, with trillions of sensors and command compensating sistems that react without a central computerised "fly by wire" unit, just work fine and that's all!



For this is all we do with our superscience and progress, we merely copy God's creation in a functionall manner when we finally understand a little something of his equations.



And the quality of what we copy is less than poor, although the industries boast perfection.



This is what made Einstein a great human being, this is what made any scientist and invetor what they really are:



AWE of GOD and Fascination that pushes them over the limits to understand HOW things GOD created WORK, and translate them in plain language for the rest of us!



The rest of you are merely interested people, or not even interested, "it works, that's it, thank you, bye!"



Wanna feel the thrill?



Get fascinated!

A country is a mere agreement!

Countries is not nations nor cultures nor folklore, but artificialy boundaries to hold people from being what they are born to be, free....

Nations, cultures, folklore, are not countries, as a matter of fact, a nation (Austria) can be found in 4 countries, in Austria, in Italy (Bolzano) in Germany and Hungaria, but this still makes them a nation.

Germans are a nation, you can find them in Romania since 1600, but still germans.

Kurds are a nation, have a language, have a culture, have a folklore, but they DON'T HAVE A COUNTRY. As a mater of fact they are one third in Turkey, one third in Iran and one third in Iraq, and all the 3 of this countries tries to kill them all, to estinguish their cultures so they can take their land.

Europeans now are a country, but not a nation, same for the USA!

Got it? countries are a bad thing.

Nations are another thing, not necesarely bad.

Culture is yet another thing, a very bad thing when people lack it!

And Folklore is Culture, remember that, not merchandise, Culture!

Waht makes US a country? asked by Carl Watts today on plaxo, here's what!

Nothing, what makes the Europe a country? Nothing.



That's te odd thing, those in power want a country so they have something to controll, and tax slaves to milk out!



Countries are artificilay maintained borders by the politiciens, so they can controll the population.



Europe was full of "countries" with "national identites" and all the crap (local prisons based on languages, and when triyng to go abroad they would ask you "why?"



Now they canceled the borders and Euroope is a single country, you think anybody cares about the place the old border was? You think anybody gives a crap on the old country national identity and language and stays home?



Nope, they all travel, learn new languages, find jobs aborad the old borders, and all the culture of noatinal concept vanished in a few years. You think they took school for that? Noo need!



Why?



Becouse it is not in our nature to be confined in countries! That's why.



So loose the borders, and terorism will dissapear, Loose the borders and put the politics in prison, and all of us will live a nice quiet life with no worries, wandering on earth as God decided it is best for us in the day of our creation! (for the Darvisinsts the day when the first humanoid issued the initial philosofic thought that made us different from the animals, somethng like "fish is friends, not food!")



Countries and borders, nationalities and political parties and appartenences are but mere obstacles for the free develpement of a civilised human society, unpollutant and nature friendly!



Since wars and military industry are responsible of 80% of earth pollution and destruction. And they are the punismnet arm of the politics, bound by thir own regulations to maintin borders and kill whosoever happens to cross them unothorised by themselves!



Therefore countries and borders shouldn't exist.



Dixit!

Facebook debate over stress and depression, my way!

Malcolm Ian Geoffrey Lawrence "Studies show that 80% of the population suffers from depression, and the other 20 percent of you cause it." -- Dana Eagle



Timothy Gunter

The other 20% are those who are the most depressed causing trouble for the 80% of us. "If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy."



Pop Emil

I am not the kind to get ulcers from stres or depression, but the kind that gives it to the others... LOL



Wierdly I am not depressed! In What Category puts me this?



Gabrielle Di Sant'angelo

Try to stay away from those who cause the stress. Meet new people, try new interests, visit new countries e.g. Have you been to Romania? People are genuine and wonderful!



Kristen Fife

Depression can be debilitating. One of my closest friends suffers severe depression and it's hard to stand by and just watch many days. (Damn, Kristen is right, I wish she wouldn't be)



Colin Wheeler

Pop, that puts you in the happy group, outside of the population in general. :-)

Depression is a terrible thing but we must remember it is a detachment from emotions, suppression of our feelings. We need to work harder to get in touch with ourselves.



Satyen Kumar

@Colin

In my view, depresssion is just a biochemical change in body which is triggered by inability to respond to the cause. Nothing but dance of molecules triggering the most easiest solution which is avoiding the path to any action. Then, once anyone goes in that loop, in-action itself becomes the cause of the dance.



Colin Wheeler

Hi Satyen, I think it is very dangerous to think of depression as only a physical/biological thing. It has many different causes of which some are biological and some are mental and/or emotional. Treating people with mental or emotional depression with drugs often has little long term benefit as it is not looking at the long term problem. 60% of people who commit suicide have depression and it is vital that we focus on the fixes and not blame a single cause route.



Gabrielle Di Sant'angelo

I know the cure for it. You need to travel, get out of there, go to Romania deep into the Carpathian Alps see the Bran Castle, Dracula's legend, in summer time , meet the people, sing with them and dance the HORA you will love it! Refresh yourself and you will feel brand new. This is my recipe. Good luck www.discoverromnia.com



Colin Wheeler

All of Eastern Europe all the way from Estonia to Montenegro is pretty damn wonderful and I fully agree, a great cure for depression!



Pop Emil

wierdly many Romanians are depressed too, maybe becouse they live in the large cityes, on a salary,



And work in the politics or administration.



Simplify your life, get rid of the credit cards, stop buying things you don't need, keep your car for 20 years, not for 2, change your cell phone every 5 to 10 years, not every year, and so on, and your life will be less stressed...



Satyen Kumar

Kool recipe to go back in few thousand years age ;) Seriously,Pop, I liked your view to do things by simplicity. and probably is the key to be happy ( as it does not burden the mind to be manupulative).

However, I think simplicity should be practiced on a balanced level ( or what will happen to credit card companies, and the economies?? they will start to be depressed ;)



Pop Emil

Satyen, I live a balanced simplicity, have 2 TV that stay off for months, 4 computers 3 on linux one on windows, that I enjoy using all day, Is not that I got back in the Jurassic era, it is only that I refuse to take part in the madness today, that's all!



Satyen Kumar

Madness today, is the evolution of the science for last thousand years. Having these means a necessaity to keep ourselves up. It does not mean that these are cause of the depression or negative feelings anyway.



Materialistically, I do enojy these abundantly.



Why dont you just associate yourself in any of the ways where you can take the breath easily.. Keyword: meditation & relaxation. And yes, no need to go to jungle to practice it. can do in front of the TV, PCs, iPad's .. & enojy everything!!... Mostra tutto



Pop Emil

Satyen, the evolution and the science is not the cause of madness today, but the marketing, overdebt, credit to buy anything you can't afford, and the stress to pay back, that yes it's blasting peples mental santy!



Meditation... hmmm, I tried it once in my youth, I found it far below my standards, begginers things, yoga, rubbish.

It was like asking to somebody that is eating logarithms at breackfast to have fun doing some arithmethincs.....you know, one plus two; how much is that?



I might be too picky, or maybe I found a way to balance my life without all the ascetism, meditation and mantras, however, I feel so equilibrated I could sell some...
