Why Join the inSide828 Community:
A] The answer is really simple: to grow your local business. If you are looking to network with other professionals, find new business opportunities or to build your personal brand on the Internet, then joining a social network is the first step. inSide828 gives you exposure to new local contacts.
Q] I am a member of Facebook or LinkedIn? Why should I join another network?
A] First, every network is different and provides you with different tools for different objectives. So it makes sense to belong to different networks if you find value in the features they offer.
That said, lets compare Facebook and LinkedIn specifically to inSide828.
Facebook - is a great social network for sharing content with Friends, and keeping in touch with people you know or share an interest with. However, due to the more social than busines nature of the service - it may not be the best place for you business and professional image. Facebook is notorious for hooking-up, sophomoric features and it only takes one comment or photo to paint a negative image of your business or brand.
Linkedin - Services like LinkedIn are made for the professional, but are very limited in features. LinkedIn primarily offers a way to post your resume or biography, and validate your experience through your network. LinkedIn is a powerful way for professionals to find jobs, but does not provide any outlet to truly grow your network and proactively build your business.
But the main difference is that most National Social Networks are just that - they're National. inSide828 is about as local as a Community can get.
You can actually meet and do buiness with everyone you meet inSide828.
