How Come My 14 Year Old Has a Thousand Friends, But My Company Has Only 14?
Several years ago, right when I was starting my business, I was asked this question on an Internet forum, and couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
The funny thing is, it’s because you’re doing social networking wrong, and they’re doing it right.

Why Would Someone Follow You?Take a look at any (or all) of your online company profiles (Facebook Page, Twitter account, and so on). Is there a reason people would want to connect with you? Do you have content and a community that brings value to interested prospects, or are you just
another “face in the crowd.”
The Point:The same thing is true in social networking, which is why your
14 year old has a thousand friends. They are using social networking to network with people, not just pasting links
trying to get people to do things for them.
Do you think they took out a Facebook ad to connect with people? Let’s hope not. When you start building
relationships with your fans, instead of just expecting them to “buy” from you, you’ll grow your userbase like
you never thought posible.
