What is this social networking stuff all about? Why do I need it? How do I get started? I’m on “insert social network name here”, now what do I do? Can I find a job using online social networking? How can I use it for business? What’s the value? How long does it take? Is it safe?
Ever heard these questions or been asked them? Well, I certainly have. Plenty of times! And I’m not the only one. I absolutely love technology, especially social networking, and training people how to use it. With all these questions coming my way, requests to keynote, webinars, events, calls and individual coaching, a light bulb went off in my head with the idea that there is a big need out there for people to have a site that can teach them how to use social networking.
So what came next? The big idea! I got with a trusted colleague, April Forcier, and we brainstormed on what could be done to spread the knowledge stuck in our brains. We both love technology, are avid trainers and we like the notion of helping others. Hence, Socialnetnet was born!
What is Socialnetnet? It is an online social network designed to help people learn how to use social networking to their advantage. Socialnetnet is different from other social networking sites because it is a “learning playground”. It provides:
- Ability to set goals, qualitative or quantitative, that can be analyzed, measured and tracked
- Virtual mentoring with the ability to select one or more coaches
- Share learning experiences with others and get real time feedback
- Use and share resources and information
- Post and/or attend events, webinars or classes
Socialnetnet is all about the interaction. It is truly a member driven community. If you are looking for a specific coach and that person is not part of the network, simply invite him to join! Do you have a learning experience you can share? That’s what the Learning Impact widget is designed to handle. This is a great way to be a part of a genuine social learning experiment! The best part is that site membership is FREE!
Why did we do it? The simple truth is we wanted a place too not only capture our knowledge and share it with others, but to give people a place to do the same. Socialnetnet accomplishes that goal. That’s why our tag line is “the network of social networks.” We want you to grow your skill set on how to develop, implement and maintain a social networking strategy that fits your purposes.
Socialnetnet is the gateway to learning about online social networking and branching out to the platforms you choose to join. We certainly do not take away from the popular social networking sites, but instead enhance what they have to offer by teaching people the best possible uses for it.
So, we are two girl geeks with a mission: to provide the ultimate resource for people to learn the why’s, what’s and how’s of online social networking! Join us today and thanks for your support!
