Google analytics has been around for a while – it’s 100% free, all you have to do is install it on every page of your site.

Littered with poking, silly games, and mountains of applications, you might think Facebook is just for kids. A year or two ago, you would have been right since majority of users were high school and college students. However, for the past six months, the group of users age 35-54 years has been experiencing explosive growth. In fact, these users posted an impressive 276% growth rate for the last half of 2008 – the equivalent of almost doubling every two months. So how can you capitalize on this? We have a few tips to make the most of social media, such as Facebook, for the purpose of relationship building.

Do your homework. Facebook is an environment that oversteps the boundaries between personal and business lives. It is a place where you can piece together your colleagues’ personality. That said, do some research! Find out your prospective business connection’s interests and preferences.

Make meaningful connections. Quality always beats quantity. Compare social media to a big party. You make connections because you are fun and interesting to interact with. If your connections ever become business colleagues, that is wonderful but it should never be your primary motive. Above all, you want to create meaningful relationships!

Use your toolset. You do not have to install dozens of fancy applications to make an impact. By default, your Facebook account has a number of basic tools you can use to help others get to know you. Write notes, post photos and links, and make an impression. You have to participate in social media for other users to interact with you and develop a connection.

Toss the agenda. Avoid trying to market yourself immediately. You want others to see you as a person. Just posting links to your blog and sending messages with clearly ulterior motives will alienate others irreversibly! Focus on being real and developing connections.

Maintain. This may seem like common sense but its often forgotten. Once you create a connection, you need to maintain it. That is, keep in touch even if lightly. Check up occasionally and see what is new. Read notes and statuses, exchange information, and help others out whenever possible.

If the overall message is not clear already, social media is about quality relationship building. Facebook is an endless supply of interesting people in both social and business aspects. If carefully cultivated, your relationships may develop into wonderful prospects for your future. Perhaps you know a guy who knows a guy? Use your connection and ask for an introduction! Maybe you have found the perfect business partner. Take a leap and make the most out of Facebook.

This quick video will guide you through setting up Facebook to update according to your blog’s RSS feeds.

Note: You’ll need to know your blog’s RSS feed address – it goes usually like this: http://yourblog.com/feed

Personal development includes any learning, change, action, or anything that actually makes you feel better, or more comfortable with yourself.

As a recent discovery, my studies of personal development have changed the way I look at every little aspect of my life: work, family, business, social networks…

And it was enjoying the effects of the Law of Attraction that I found Manifest Mastermind on Twitter. As of yet, they don’t have an official website; their tweets, though, summarize most of the concepts studied in Personal Development. Manifestmmind is a refreshment amongst tweets, with great quick lines that just freeze your stress and allows you to breath for a couple seconds – a powerful accomplishment!

If you’ve enjoyed the movie The Secret, this takes everything to a second step. It amplifies thoughts, ideas, and atitudes through the Law of Attraction.

Go follow him on Twitter. And join their group on Facebook. You won’t regret!

P.S – As you send strong positive vibration to the universe, because you just loved this new group the Law of Attraction directed you to (through this blog), COMMENT. Let me know, I’m grateful for each comment.

I’m taking DRASTIC measures regarding my  Life Path Unlimited Online Marketing Campaign. Would you like to know how do I advertise?

I’ve just PAUSED ALL MY Google ADWORDS campaigns. I know many people spend a fortune advertising Life Path Unlimited on Google, but I’m going to make my Web 2.0 Social Media Online Marketing (or however you wanna call it) work its way throughout the internet. I’m drastically reducing my budget, and I’m happy with it.

According to Mike Dillard, on Magnetic Sponsoring and on Building on A Budget, Ferny Ceballos and Raymond Fong, of the Attraction Marketing Formula, the Better Networker forum, and plenty of intelligent people out there, Social Networks are an expanding free platform for lead generation and personal branding. I’m running an experiment, and I’d like to invite YOU to be a MAJOR part on it.

Check out my profiles on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Better Networker, FriendFeed, and Google Reader. It is astonishing the amount of information I was able to store online, and everyday that I add something new, it’s like storing a piece of my personality, ONLINE!

Anyway, I’m in the process of adding all my friends and making new friends, so join me! As I check your profile, I’ll make sure to check your websites, visit all your other social networks and expand your contact list!

In the midst of all this Web 2.0/3.0 innovation, I made my first LENS on Squidoo. On this platform, you can build your website from scratch, adding modules (features, widgets), to personalize it and customize to your preference and style. And, of course, it’s all FREE. Basically, free lead generation at its best!

My Search Engine Optimization consists, now, of letting these tools work for me. It’s SEO 20/20 for free!

Let me know how you do it! Maybe we can exchange ideas and connect!
