Wondering where to spend your time and marketing efforts for your Home based business or MLM inside Social Networking sites? Your Network Marketing career depends upon your ability to truly connect with people, so be seen on these networks in order to build your Team.
Here is a list of the top 16 ranking Social Bookmarking sites in order of Alexa score and number of monthly users and Quancast Rank.
If you are using social media to build any business, then go out and make sure you have a profile set up on all, or most of these sites.
- MySpace
- Ning
- Google Plus+
- Tagged
- Orkut
- Hi5
- MyYearbook
- Meetup
- Badoo
- Bebo
- MyLife
- Friendster
In my next post, I will describe what to do to use my “Social Power Cluster” to promote your business to the entire planet by leveraging these sites.
It is my experience and my opinion that NOTHING beats making friends in Real life (IRL), but I will tell you from personal and professional experience that meeting friends worldwide in Social sites is highly efficient and very rewarding on every level if it is done correctly. That is a topic for later discussion here.
Get busy and get good fast. Contact me if you need more help. It’s a quickly evolving world of Social Media. If you won’t learn and produce, it’s okay—your competition will.

Great post, Clint! This was really insightful and I had no idea there were so many social platforms that could be leveraged for MLM success. Do you think LinkedIn is better for prospecting compared to Facebook?
Aisha R.
This post is absolutely spot on, Clint! I’ve been in the MLM industry for years, and you nailed the importance of using social media to build a successful business. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

You have been paid late before
You have watched the number on the dashboard not match the number in your account. What is different now is simple: it settles on a public contract you can check yourself, not a dashboard I control.
Read the contract →Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.
This sounds too good to be true. Do you have any real-world examples of people succeeding just by using social media platforms like MySpace and Tagged? It would be great to see some case studies or proof that these strategies work in today’s market.

Clint, thanks for the detailed breakdown of social platforms! I’m curious, how often do you recommend posting on each platform? Should there be a different strategy for Facebook versus LinkedIn?
Marcus T.
I appreciate the effort, Clint, but I’m not sure about recommending platforms like MySpace in 2024. Most of these networks, like Orkut and Bebo, aren’t relevant anymore. Perhaps an updated list would be more effective.

Hey Clint, great post as usual! It’s been a while since we caught up. Would love to grab a coffee soon and talk more about social media strategies for MLM. Let me know when you’re free!

I’ve struggled with finding the right platforms to promote my MLM business, but this post has given me some great ideas. I had no idea that platforms like Meetup could be useful for building my team. Thanks for the insight, Clint!

If anyone is looking for alternative tools to manage their social media for MLM, I highly recommend checking out Hootsuite or Buffer. They make it easier to schedule posts across multiple platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. Definitely worth looking into!

This post was so helpful, Clint! I’ve been using Facebook to grow my MLM, but I hadn’t considered branching out to LinkedIn or Meetup. I’m definitely going to explore these platforms now. Thanks for the great advice!
Three posts a day. One email a day.
Everything I publish, in one short daily email. Real numbers, no hype, unsubscribe in one click.
Get paid 100%, on-chain, the second the sale clears
Most affiliates earn little, and that is disclosed up front. The difference here is not a promise about what you will make. It is that you can verify every payout yourself, on a public contract, in about twelve seconds.
See how the payout works →Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.
Sorry if this is a silly question but I went through the list and honestly don’t even know what half of these are anymore, MyLife, Tagged, Badoo, and I wondered if I’m supposed to set up a profile on all fifteen or if that’s actually a huge waste of time for somebody just starting out like me, because that alone sounds like it would eat my whole week.
Bonnie, good instinct. Half that list barely exists anymore. Start with the two networks where your actual people already spend time, not all fifteen.
Pete’s advice matches what I saw from the field-development side — reps who spread across every platform on a list like this converted worse than the ones who picked one or two and actually showed up consistently. I can’t speak to the specific ranking here, some of these networks I’m not sure still have real users, but the underlying principle, depth over breadth, held up across the years I was watching it.
Reads exactly like the multi-channel strategy decks I used to sit through — cover every channel, thin as tissue paper on all of them, call it ‘omnipresence.’ Half this list, MySpace, Orkut, Bebo, Friendster, is now the corporate equivalent of a slide nobody updated after the reorg. The genuinely useful line in the whole post is the throwaway one at the end, that nothing beats real relationships — everything above it is the tissue-paper version of that idea.
Ran a diner for nineteen years and never touched a single platform on this list, and people still found their way to the counter. What actually worked was the two or three regulars who’d tell somebody new in town where to eat. If you’re only picking one thing off this post to start with, Bonnie, pick the network where the people who’d actually vouch for you already spend their time, and don’t worry about the other thirteen.
