I just take the online friendships to be the people that I can help and they can help me in return. Having a profile in a field unrelated to yours to help people can work, it does for my partner. He has profile in medical social media sites to help an online friend with their primary blog. In return that person has profiles in our areas, and will occasionally make links to us saying something that is good about what we do while directly relating to her own work. Friends help friends. You can always figure out a way to make it happen. I have never met an online fiend. I just take the online friendships to be the people that I can help and they can help me in return.

The most important message here is to properly understand this particular part of the social media system. What really happen when I add somebody?

Example - Digg is known to drive a lot of traffic to a site, but the only way to get on the fron page of Digg is to have a lot of friends that are willing to both Digg your post and to ask their friends to Digg. I have seen single pictures make the front page on the second, third or later submission, when the first submission was only Dugg 2 or 3 times. The Power of Freinds can not be missed.

You never know what will be coming of of the network. However, you may have a very good idea with a mature network. You may have a good idea of what works and what doesn't. Observation and experimentation are essential... and even more: learning is the key! I'll prepare a post related to network building strategies! That should clarify many things! You’re right!

For some marketers or bloggers who are building a network of followers, asking everyone which shares an interest in the topic s/he is blogging about may be a way to distribute their message. This may sound spammy, but many bloggers actually do this. On the other hand, if you want to build a network of influencers, you want to work on one profile at a time. Whatever the strategy, we will never know what will come out of the network. It may as well be something profitable beyond growing blog readership.
