How Important does Social Bookmarking?


Most of us launch our Home Based Online Business as part time enterprise. Even with a successfully running Home Based Online Business, many of us will still be working at regular jobs, taking care of kids at home etc. Hence it is really important that the limited time that we spend online is spent carefully and judiciously. If we can spend the time online more productively, we can also equally increase our share of profits.

For example let’s take the case of a hypothetical business owner. He specializes in hand drawn caricatures and he has just decided to go online and sell his products. So he invested in a membership at an online club which specializes in Internet Marketing.

He was soon flooded with advices on the websites to visit, articles to write, e banks to start an account, forums he should participate in etc. Without going more into the technicalities, lets come up with a simple trick which will not only boost your learning process but will also make you a more efficient entrepreneur.

When you visit interesting websites, bookmark them. They can be assigned a specific name and saved under those names. Like wise, make a new bookmark folder to store the bookmarks of those websites you want to do business with. It is also recommended to rename the website with their online descriptions.

Coming back to our example of a caricature artist, for his Money Making Mentor’s membership website, he can use two bookmarks, viz. “Learn from videos here” and “Ask questions here”. Likewise, he might also be required to sign up as a vendor with a particular website. Instead of using, the names of the websites, he can book mark them with tags like “Submit new products here” or “Set commission rates here” and “Monitor profit here”. They can all be saved under a new folder, namely, “Administrator website”.

And so the process continues… book marking not only speeds up your learning curve but will also serve as a very useful daily reminder of the tasks at hand. This kind of learning, called the compartmentalized learning is very effective and efficient, especially to learn complex matters easily and more quickly.

This kind of compartmentalized learning can go a long way in helping you learn the concepts in your field quickly and easily. Web 2.0 strategic websites is just the beginning. You can make use of the essential skills you have learned from then on and carry it to the next level. Not only does it save you money but also the effort and time you spend in learning the same through conventional means.

Besides bookmarking also serves as powerful daily reminding tool about the impending tasks at hand, which need to be completed. It is also another option to categorize your bookmarked websites according to priority levels. High priority websites can be stored in one area and so on. This will make the management of your business concerns much more easier and efficient. You are now ready to take your Home Based Business Idea to the next level.
