Regardless of any latest internet marketing ideas, without getting the message out and developing a network, internet marketing is an uphill battle.
New arrival on the scene APSense, takes the Social Networking model and is creating a community of business minded people, with a place to exchange ideas, as well as learn form others.
It isn't just a rehash of same old rubbish, with everyone trying to sell their concept, or tool. It isn't a place to moan about how stupid someone is /was for doing something. It is however, somewhere for more considered reflection.
For people to write about their passion, their interest, without making it a sales letter. To create a network of like minded individuals, who can share a common interest and spread their ideas. It is a place in which to grow a strong network, in which to exchange views and develop a business relationship.
There is room for private thoughts, business ideas and group building. If you have something interesting to say, you can sell advertising space, if you like someone else ideas, you can bid to buy advertising space.
If you just want to use it as a place to get feedback from people in similar businesses that is great.
Oh, did I mention, you also get paid while you are doing it. Along the lines of Yuwie, who I have blogged about on another entry in this blog, APSense share revenues with members.
Still a small community, as it is a new site, still in Beta, there is already a vibrancy developing and it is great to see support. It also has the great pleasure of being a place where genuine ideas are discussed without there being a product to buy. You can sell, of course, but in the right area of the site, which is constructed to divide the 'business' from the 'development'
A great place to explore, learn and promote your own brand
