10 Things That Make BeBee A Great Launch Pad For Your Writing
Anyone who knows me also knows that I have been writing since the invention of the printing press.
What you may not know is that I have had blog posts just about everywhere it was possible to have them, and over the years, I have found it to be quite gratifying.
But in the past year, my blogging experience has really reached a new level of satisfaction. Because I have finally found a site where it’s really possible to reach (and organically so), and expand a large and loyal audience of readers.
And that site is beBee.com.
A Whole Lot Of Possibilities1. On beBee it’s possible to have a conversations with your readers that are informed, intelligent and civilized. This is not always the case on other sites, especially on LinkedIn where interest in commenting and discussion appears to have fallen of dramatically since the Microsoft acquisition.
2. On beBee it’s possible to easily extend the reach of your posts to Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google +, with a couple of simple clicks. The same cannot be said for LinkedIn Pulse, which, unless you are some sort of celebrity influence, is nothing more than a black hole.
3. On beBee it’s possible to reach out to specific specialized groups or ‘hives’, of which there are more than 20,000, and increase your readership without actually going anywhere.
4. On beBee, it's possible to add to your connections without any bullshit or real need to know who they already are.
5. On beBee, it’s possible to message as many people as you like without upgrading to a premium service, because there no premium service here.
6. On beBee, the number of outstanding writers has grown dramatically, so there is always something interesting to read, comment on and share.
7. On beBee, everybody understands that people like to do business with people they get to know, get to like and therefore get to trust, which are the real keys to solid relationship building.
8. On beBee, the management is very hands-on and accessible. They are also very good at keeping investigating and responding to trolls and scammers, which means the site is about as clean as these things get in the social media world.
9. beBee has a lot of people (like me) who are actively promoting it, because they really believe that it’s has the potential to grow into something highly beneficial to both the business and social communities.
10. And last but not least, beBee has developed an extremely positive brand character, which makes it very easy to genuinely like and enjoy being here.
Not Just For Writers
There are all kinds of people who are finding their way to beBee these days. And it’s not just because they are coming to the realization that LinkedIn isn’t the opportunity powerhouse it used to be.
beBee’s management will be the first to tell you that beBee should not be considered an alternative to LI or any other social/business site you spend time on.
Building your business through content marketing of any kind requires a lot of different tools and a presence in many places.
A presence on beBee, mainly due to its highly receptive user base and its very positive attitude, simply makes it a great place to bee (pardon the pun).

Thanks . Yeah, the numbers you are indicating are on point. I did a post a while back that talked about targeting and what does well where. It appears that LinkedIn is very much about leadership and management issues, workplace stuff. on beBee you can range a lot more but you can never really go too far wrong writing about beBee itself. Happy holidays, man
