Social bookmarking: You’ve heard a lot about it… and maybe you’ve even tried it yourself a time or two. But either way, you’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a waste of time.

And yet you keep hearing the gurus brag about how much traffic they get from these sites. They talk about getting hundreds or even thousands of visitors in a very short amount of time. They warn you that social bookmarking sites and other social media sites are the future – and if you don’t start using these sites now, you’ll be left behind.

Is that true?

As you already know, people can't buy from you if they don't know that you exist. For this reason, your online business must have some type of marketing and public relations strategy. Without creating some ongoing and renewable resources that let the world know you are here and open for business, your dreams of making a living will never be realized.
