43things.com is a web 2.0, social networking website that I first wrote about on my general marketing blog back in, oh gosh I think it was mid-2005.
Today it is one of my least favorite social networks mainly because the moderators of the busiest ‘things’ (categories) are humans with zero experience, and at the time it seemed zero rules as to which accounts they nuke.
Having provided (back then in their early days, approximately 30,000 words of content and sending hundreds of new users, when I decided to post a link to my site (and I do promise I did it with grace and dignity) a former-fatty, jealous moderator jumped on and deleted my entire account, all my content that I had spent months creating, and my uploaded photos. My profile had a PR5 then, which really hurt.
Is 43things.com any different today? I can’t say I care much which is why the ‘give away’ video as a sample to SocialMarketingStrategy.com’s membership is the walk-through and ideas on social networking and marketing on 43things.com.
Go at your own risk. Promote your content and interact with others knowing that at any moment it could be swiped away, no matter how informative and helpful your posts are to their users…

A reference to FaceBook – mainly the power of social ads within Facebook – hit the internet marketing circle last year as a master resale rights product. Although I often find that MRR products aren’t of the best quality, this one wasn’t as bad as most. It is a helpful introduction into marketing your products and services on FaceBook.
Here are a few excerpts from the 44 page book:
“…it is becoming increasingly clear that people all over the world are using the internet as a principal means of communication in ever increasing numbers.” (page 3)
“…in detail at how you and your business could potentially use Facebook as a source of new customers for your products and services.” (page 4)
At the time of publication: “Facebook is currently enjoying 70 billion page views per month…” (page 6)
Some of the topics in this ebook cover:
- adding links to your website in FaceBook’s profile
- creating niche groups
- using FaceBook’s classified advertising
- highly targeted social advertising
- how social advertising and marketing differs from other networks
- FaceBook’s pay-per-click advertising
There are ample screen shots to visually explain the process of utilizing FaceBook’s website as part of your social marketing strategy. Read more…

If you are already using HubPages to make sales (affiliate or your own products), pre-sell traffic to offers or increase your incoming links, this often missed technique is a two minute trick you need to know.
One marketer in my circle has said that she has used this to make fast money with affiliate products, but I couldn’t promise you the same. Finding that fast opportunity may be hit or miss, but profiting in the long term doesn’t need to be, if you do this right. This technique, at any rate, is more effective for the long term.
I’m not about to teach you how to create Hub Pages or Squidoo Lens’ – just one facet of the process that will take your pages on either site and get you more bang for your buck (whether that’s earning money, clicks, search engine positioning, or all three).
I started playing around with this and after creating a quick Squidoo lens for a new niche, I found that within just a few days I was receiving traffic to a test page from that lens as well as earning money through a low level affiliate payout program.
I set out on a mission to discover how and why it worked so fast that very day… Read more…
