Have you tried to promote your business on social networking sites like Myspace?

I've put in quite a few hours there and was more or less happy with it until I noticed that some of the links on my profile were no longer working. Instead of going to where I pointed them, they were going to the Myspace home page.

What?

I'd been looking for a good social networking site that was friendly, easy to use, and fast. Social networking sites are springing up like weeds these days and I joined and tried about 20 or so to see if they provided what I wanted.

I wasn't happy until I found Apsense.

It has all the standard features, including your profile, blogging, groups you can join or create, advertising, and so forth.

Apsense offers something that I really like, and that's a free, customizable business center. You can describe your business, advertise products and services, promote affiliate programs and business opportunities, and link to resources you want to recommend.

And, of course, you can use your affiliate links.

Additionally, the visitors to your business center can use the contact form to send you messages, leave testimonials, and fill out the lead capture form to subscribe to your newsletter.

These parts of the business center are optional and you must take some time to create the content and publish it before your business center will go live.

It took me a couple of hours to put up an acceptable business center (hey, it's a start!), create several groups, and start meeting new people.

I learned after I'd joined that Apsense has an affiliate program and there is supposed to be an announcement today (September 10, 2007) to describe the details. That was unexpected, but certainly of interest to me.

I don't know the details, but I'm looking forward to learning what they are.

In the meantime, even if the affiliate program doesn't interest me, I am very happy with the other services Apsense offers, and you just can't beat the price!

There are a couple of upgrade options available, but I haven't had the time to look into them, yet.

Surprisingly, for some of the key phrases I target in my marketing, some of my blog postings are ranking higher than they are on Myspace and even Squidoo. That's unexpected, and a very good sign, since I've only been blogging on Apsense for about a week.

We all know that networking sites may or may not suit your needs and personality. That's one reason why people love one site and can't stand another.

Apsense fits my needs very well. You can try it out and see for yourself how you like it. It's free, and you are not artificially limited in what you can do as you are on other sites.

Join Apsense Business Networking today and see for yourself if it provides the tools you need to promote your business - for free.

Act on your dream!
