Beta Launch of Free Social Network Directory Offers Web 2.0
Internet Marketing Advice & Community

July 31, 2008 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA:  Want to learn how to market better online?  Confused or overwhelmed by all the “Social Media” Marketing opportunities online?  Need a directory that will help you quickly find or promote yourself as an expert in social media marketing specialties?

SocialMarketingSuccessForum.com launched today to help YOU learn how to leverage blogs, social networks (Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn,), Microblogging (Twitter, Friendfeed, identi.ca), Online Video (YouTube, TubeMogul, Veoh), SEO, Social Bookmarking (Digg.com, Deli.cio.us, Flickr.com, Stumble Upon), and the many other tools of Web 2.0 marketing.

WHY NOW?

Three recent blog posts demonstrated the need for a central directory resource where social marketing “insiders” can connect.

They were:

1. Welcome to the ProBlogger Social Media Love-In by Darren Rowse of Problogger.net
2. 2008 Blog-to Show: 260 Blogs Aggregate Post! by Liz Strauss
3. Top 142 Social Marketing Blogs on the Web by Jack Humphrey

All three of these blog posts were hugely popular in the blogosphere because they offered something rare:  specific contact details of many top bloggers and social media marketing experts. 

Scott Fox, author of the best-selling web site startup guide, Internet Riches, and the E-Commerce Success Blog (http://www.scottfox.com), decided to take action to help centralize this information and create a resource where you could learn these new Internet marketing disciplines, too. 

THE PROBLEM

The huge popularity of these “listings” posts demonstrated the need for a new directory and community web site where social media marketers (and those who love them or want to learn from them) can connect, share, and promote their expertise. 

But just a simple web site wouldn’t do for this crowd!  Instead, SocialMarketingSuccessForum.com has launched (in BETA) as a full-fledged, customized social network – creating a new social media network hub just for social media marketers!

AN HISTORIC MOMENT – A NEW WORLDWIDE WEB COMMUNITY

“When I first got online in 1994, the Web was so small that I used to read email newsletters that announced “all the cool new web sites launched each day,” said Scott Fox, Author of the best-selling book Internet Riches.  “Reading the recent blog posts by Darren, Liz and Jack, I realized that we are at that same liminal moment today – those 3 blog posts are archiving for the future this key period in history – when social media really became a mainstream marketing channel.  As demonstrated by my book, Internet Riches, and my E-Commerce Success Blog, I truly believe that more people deserve a piece of the e-business revolution.  I’m launching SocialMarketingSuccessForum.com today to help offer the power of social networking tools to help anyone learn to make more money online.  Please join us!”
