Social Networking has taken the Internet by storm!

     If you're a regular Internet user, you've probably heard about websites like Facebook, MySpace and most recently Twitter. You may even have you're own profile page set-up on one of them. Social networking sites like these are a great way to keep in touch with friends and family. They make it easy to share photos and info about recent events in your life. They've changed the way people communicate with each other and they're being used by millions of people everyday!

     Which means they can provide low-cost, viral advertising for your product, business or service to millions of people everyday!

     The GetPaidToBeSocial Community was created to provide everyone from business marketers to stay at home Moms a place to learn about how social networking sites work, and how they can be used to make money.

     Once you're a member, you'll be able to share your own thoughts and opinions on how to make money through social networking as well as learn valuable tips and techniques from other members. You'll also be able to write your own blog and post your own links, photos or videos to help get the word out about your business, product or service. If you have a business, sell a product or belong to any affiliate marketing program, you owe it to yourself to learn the advantages of social network marketing!

     My name is Steve Westfall. I started my online experience back in December of 2004 by learning HTML, XHTML, JavaScript and little PHP through free online classes. Thank You W3Schools.com!.

     Since then, I have authored a couple of shopping based websites, Where2LookOnline.com and TrendyJewelryForLess.com. While both sites have produced some success, neither really started to show signs of true potential, until I learned how to use Social Networking sites to my advantage. I set-up this website, blog, and community to share what I have learned, with other hopeful online entrepreneurs and web developers looking for advice on how to best position themselves within the social networking sites.

     It is my hope that this community will grow into a quality resource and a valuable place to share information and begin discussions that will benefit everyone from the most novice computer user to more advanced web developers. I have come to learn over the last few years that even the most skilled and talented developers can learn valuable lessons by joining a discussion started by the most novice of computers users. After all, as developers, we are constantly striving to find out how people use and relate to computers in order to create developed applications that are easily used and widely accepted by everyday users. It is often the simplest question from the everyday user that sparks a great discussion.

     Great discussions lead to great ideas and great ideas lead to innovation.

     So, wherever you fit into that range, please feel free to contribute by adding your comments, blog posts, videos and ideas to the community. You never know when you'll find that diamond in the rough that leads you to exactly what you're looking for. If you have any questions that you would like me to answer personally, please feel free to fill out the contact form and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner. I am also looking for forum/discussion board moderators as well as guest bloggers that would like to contribute their own thoughts on social networking and add to the community. Anyone interested in contributing can also contact me via the form for more information.
