Work At Home Forums - Putting Forth A Professional Business Impression

When it comes to online business networking and spending your time on social networking sites like work at home mom forums, what type of business impression are you sending out to the members of that community?

Way to often I see new members signing up for every work at home community that they can find online. They join and if we are lucky, they will post a two sentence introduction to the group. However, 8 out of 10 times...they just immediately head to the advertising folder and spam a business advertisement.

For those that practice this type of behavior on forums, you are really leaving a bad taste in the mouth of professional network marketers. Those of us who have been on these type of social networking groups for years...will absolutely tell you that we won't do any type of business with what we call "hit and run spammers."

As a forum owner myself, I personally will not tolerate bad professionalism on my own message boards and I can state for a fact, that members and forum owners do indeed talk with one another about the slew of online spammers that we see running around from message board to message board and slyly spamming their business ads.

If you are looking to network your business online, you really need to become a valuable member of the work at home communities. You need to participate in general chit chat and business discussions and keep the advertisements to a minimum. You should never post your personal "dirty laundry" on any work at home business forum. I also recommend that you don't bad mouth your Direct Sales company, your manager or your teammates as this would be considered to be unprofessional.

When it comes to networking online, it is important to set forth a professional business impression to those who read your postings. If you want others to do business with you and to take you seriously, you need to act and post appropriately on the work at home forums.
