I guess it depends on the strategies you want to use and how big of a result (goal) you want to achieve. Various strategies will require various levels of commitments & involvements. Many ways to skin a cat. However, it's worthwhile to use several strategies and not just one (the best) strategy to achieve your goal. I think as long as a strategy is profitable and don't compromise other strategies, do it. Raymond, I don't use those ones you mentioned. I'm at Facebook. The way you make it work is similar to using other web 2.0 platforms - provide great contents first, build relationship, capture quality leads then the pitch. It's not the fastest way to get results, so if you're in a hurry this strategy might not be the best for you. Notice that Rich managed to promote his stuff fast using web 2.0 because he already established himself and have a huge list... AND powerful rolodex. You have to build that first. You have to start somewhere. John, great point about the demographic of the people getting involved in those huge social sites.

It's not all about kids chatting their time away, many of those are 20-40 years old with at least one credit card in their purse. As you write Sant, an Internet Marketer should ride on that wave and start testing which of the platforms and which strategy gives them best results ($$$). Yes, it sounds labor intensive, and that's what it is. Your comparison Web 2.0 -- Classic Public Relation fits perfectly. --John The reality of Web 2.0 is that those large platforms like Squidoo, Digg, Stumble, Facebook, … attract millions of visitors on a daily basis.
