Slippery Slide

Trying to combine Business and Social Media can feel like a slippery slide as mixing friendship and business holds some risks: nobody wants to risk a friendship for a crappy product and nobody wants to offend their friends by saying no to them. So: what if we could reduce this risk? What would it take to make this risk into a negligable calculated risk? Basically it all comes down to ballistics:

Calculated Risk

Calculated risk can make you achieve the seemingly impossible: landing in a 6 foot pool two hundred yards from your launching point (as in the video) or even combining Business with Friendship. Social Media can help you combine the latter two more easily then you might think! Here are some ways in which you can use Social Media to further your business goals in a calculated almost risk free way:

-Find friends that are interested in doing business just like you.
-Represent products and services that are a reasonably priced quality solution to a real problem.
-Find Social Media Environments where the two are combined: business minded friends and quality solutions for a reasonable price.

Achieving Your Goals

One way to achieve these goals is to be an active member of The HOB.Biz and/or join our Ambassador program as the three principles mentioned above are what we are all about. Another way is to bring your own quality solution to our network by starting a Business Club, posting a Classified Add or listing your business in the Directory. Whichever you choose: your (business minded) friends are already here!
