One should spend in order to enable the success of social network marketing or wait at the sideline until someone develops a viable business model is developed as an industry standard and miss out on the first movers advantage on massive business opportunities. CMOs and CFOs, this is some food for thought.

There is much convincing work to be harnessed before others jump onboard the bandwagon.
However, there is at least one fact which we can ascertain to be true, that Social Networking, with its more than 300 social networking sites worldwide, and cumulative membership of close to one billion people, is definitely a future if not current consumer force waiting to be mined for gold.
