		<description><![CDATA[Great article on the Social side of marketing, and the Laws of Attraction, and List Building will work as long you have a great system to back up principles, and people in place especially to train and mentor each of the individuals... Make sure you do your research and investigate the people involved in the marketing process and the results they have achieved will be a good indicator of the potential of what you can expect...

Much Success,

		<description><![CDATA[Niche social networking is really coming along, with more and more not just being added daily -- but now getting investor dollars and media attention.

There will always be plenty of room for MySpace and Facebook when you want to connect to ALL your friends and co-workers..but when you want targeted connections to people who share your lifestyle, hobbies and professional interests, the niche communities really will win out. Its no different than CNN being your source for national news and turning to your local newspaper online to get local.
