Business Startup Good Ideas & Bad Ones
The StartupNation.com community is rockin’ powerful. How do I know? I often am contacted by a community member who finds that their forum comments show up in a Google search for their company name or website. This is good, no?
Well, it depends. If your comments are positive, encouraging, smart & provocative and add value to your personal or company brand – then … absolutely good.
If your comments are negative, rude or insensitive, boring and something you’d never say to someone face-to-face – then … definitely bad.
Is this so surprising? It shouldn’t be. But the better question is – how can you take advantage of this as an entrepreneur?
Easy answer = actively contribute a lot of positive, encouraging, smart & even provocative posts. One of our community members landed a new client because of the posts that he had made in the StartupNation community. The client saw that he was active in the forums & it impressed him.
So the best way to act is to create more forum posts that increase your reputation.
That’s the real power of using the StartupNation community.
