Social Marketing Central!
How Has Social Marketing Central Helped You? Well, For Me ...
I was able to launch the Merchantology website in less than 30 days from joining the community. Before then I had my online aspirations set to the side. You don;t understand the gravity of this
I figured the web is chock full of too many power-driven Internet Marketing maniacs more interested in making the big sale than teaching others in the process. Too many showboaters and people who think who they are. They leave out the little guy in favor of million dollar days and such.
So my attention was focused on offline money-making. I shyed away from having my own website because the guys I was learning from really didn't know how to provide real wisdom.
Then I get a email from Jack's autoresponder which I never unsubscribed from. I joined the community on a whim, made a few friends, gained support for my style of writing and my concepts for Merchantology ... found a way over the techie web design hurdle for under a hundred bucks ... and in maybe 2 or 3 short weeks ... I have a full-fledged website and the means to grow that venture into something awesome and future-ly profitable.
SMC has been my catalyst in gaining an online presence. That has meant the world to me because it's a powerful fact that's driving Merchantology forward.
How about you guys? Success Stories? Tell all about it.

So why did you decide to not continue with your website given that SMC was the inspiration to get it up and running?

well because my product became me.
You can access Merchantology by accessing me.
It's better for me to work on a low key blog now and do what I do best and broker solutions for businesses online and off.
I also have committed time to Jack's site as a moderator. That was part of the reason for not going full force on my own ning site. It works out.
But I can personally attest to the effectiveness of a properly led social network. If it worked for me, it can for most all members who use this community the right way.
