<p>There seems to be no slowing down in the Social Media industry. Facebook and Twitter are still the rage. However, the problem is still Social Media overload. Some Internet Marketers believe that Facebook and Twitter are the place to spread affiliate links and never share any good, helpful information.</p>
<p>In my own opinion, it&#8217;s those people that may never get ahead, learn more and move beyond their current level.</p>
<p>Alright, that may sound a bit harsh. There are good methods of marketing on social media sites, and that is something I&#8217;ve taught and discussed in previous training videos, however, a vast majority of the culprits are pimping IM/Making Money products and not providing any value.</p>
<h2>The true value of Social Media</h2>
<p>When it comes to Social Media, the best use I can think of is connecting with like minded people. It&#8217;s sometimes difficult to do in venues like facebook and twitter because there is so much noise out there.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s always refreshing to share good ideas, content and information with others in the industry. It&#8217;s these connections that lead to Joint Ventures, Ad Swaps and long lasting partnerships.</p>
<p>At the beginning of December, I had the chance to hang out with Chuck Mullaney, the creator of JVMe.com . This is a social networking site that integrates with Twitter and Facebook and is much more Marketer Friendly. It&#8217;s a great resource for sharing information, finding great JV partners and learning more about Internet Marketing from experts.</p>
<p>The site is free to join and if you&#8217;re the least bit interesting in Internet Marketing it&#8217;s something I recommend.</p>
