Marketing – Nalates’ Things & Stuff

There is a thread in the Second Life® Forum where a club owner is asking about how to make their new (currently in design stage) club better. SL Residents are asked what they would like to see.

As I write there are a couple of pages of discussion. I don’t see anything really outstanding. Several comment on what is a common problem. No one has a solution, other than their personal preferences. So, I decided to ask A.I. how to solve the problems. Following is mostly the answer I got.

As the article points out, you can have comments on your site. But, if you can encourage visitors to comment on Facebook, your reach will increase. It isn’t so much that you have comments that is the problem for Facebook. It is that Facebook responds positively to people commenting on your links on Facebook.

So, whether you are selling something or just trying to increase your popularity, there are good and bad ways to do that with social media.
