Comment on: Blog Post 'So this is social...': uiting. I help people, mostly young professionals, get jobs -- for free. But, I make my living marketing, selling, and supporting industrial machinery to the manufacturing industry. First, let's define and characterize the subject, a "Like." A "Like" is merely a metric indicator to measure reach and determine interest in the Business to Consumer marketplace. A "Like" is not a form of currency, and I am unaware of any study that has been able to uniformly correlate Likes to revenue generation. If you don't buy into my assertions, survey any number of CEOs and CFOs regarding how they factor "Likes" into their balance sheets. That just isn't happening in the real world where tremendous effort is expended toward projecting Profit & Loss. So from my point of view, collecting "Likes" is not much more than a game in an alternate reality like Farmville, Cityville, or SimsSocial. Sure, you can make a little money doing it, but that's not really the point at all. The point, in this case, is actually marketing research to measure reach and response rather than to generate real revenue. And market research is influenced by audience. Lets analyze the audience in question, LinkedIn membership. Why are so many people active on LinkedIn? Likely because they're looking to find a job and hope to generate attention toward themselves, right? Given the US government claiming we have about 9% unemployment, not including a very large population of folks who are no longer counted because they're ineligible to collect unemployment, I'd say any B to C marketing entity that focuses upon the active LinkedIn population to generate a significant revenue stream is going to be somewhat disappointed. Wouldn't you agree given the circumstances of the unemployed? After all, feeding the family, paying the important bills, and keeping a roof over one's head is probably a bit more of a concern to the typical active member than buying unnecessary consumer goods. Now, let's characterize the audience of this Blog. Recruiters are less likely to consider an unemployed candidate than an employed candidate -- that's just the way it seems to the general public. As everyone is operating a bit leaner these days, even acknowledgement in the form of rejection letters has fallen from favor due to time constraints, resource allocation, and the relative value of human capital for certain tasks. And now the emotional and psychological influence... It's all about real people, not just a name at the top of a one-page resume. Because much of the effort active candidates engage in appears to be ignored, its rather easy for one to assume that he/she doesn't really count, and he/she has little value to offer anyone. Think about a pop vocalist whose voice has suddenly gone silent due to illness or accident. Now, factor in the sense of empowerment that the control to "Like" can have upon someone who might otherwise feel they've lost their own voice, a true victim of circumstance. The ability to "Like" something can be beneficial to those who feel insignificant. There can be real social value in a "Like." Let me see....If I "Like" it, a deserving kid gets a toy. If I don't "Like" it, that same kid may not get a toy. Hmmmm....I can afford to "Like" much more than I can afford to buy that toy. 'I "Like" it! Boy, it felt good to finally be counted and to actually make a difference.' Nothing wrong with that strategy in my mind; it might even be a bit healthy for the "Liker." And as for the harsh commentary...."Dear Internet Marketing Whore" with the mention of prostituting a charity is a grossly inappropriate and extreme response along the same lines as characterizing all investment bankers as thieves, M&…; Added by schonfeld.michael19 at 3:09pm on December 12, 2011
