About The Orlando Entrepreneur Meetup Group

WHAT WE ARE ABOUT

Our objective is to provide the opportunity for people the Central Florida Business Community to meet each other by hosting networking events and by talking to each other on the Internet.

We not just saying this because we read it in some book or heard it at some presentation on business networking. We want to really make it happen. That is why we want to meet people that really want to help each other and bring them into our group.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A CHEAP ADVERTISEMENT

You are wrong to believe that Social Media is nothing but a cheap channel to spam out a sales pitch. Social Networks are not a place for an infomercial or "Guerrilla Marketing". Social Networks are not "the new" late night television, they are a new way to communicate with people.

There are places on Social Networks to advertise and build lists of people that want to know about your business. For example, when people join a page on FaceBook they know that they are going to receive messages from the people that run the page.

TREAT PEOPLE AS FRIENDS

Social Networks allow you to meet people around the world and in time you will be able to make friends them. These friendships may also lead to trust based relationships in business with people that you would not have to opportunity to meet otherwise.

Every Social Network on the Internet or in real life has a different Vibe and that vibe is created by the people that are a part that network. Those people are there to make friends with other people, because friends help each other.

Sending messages over the Internet that nobody wants is spamming, and your friends don't care about the latest trends in Social Media. Your friends don't want to hear a sales pitch, be SHOUTED AT IN ALL CAPTIALS or have you talk to them like a chump in an abrasive tone.

YOU ARE NOT A MOVIE STAR

How celebrities and major corporations are using Social Media has very little to do with what is going to work for you. Do not make the mistake of comparing yourself to an "super model. celebrity or professional athlete. Social Media has nothing to do with who they are or why people are interested in them.
