I am a member of Facebook or LinkedIn? Why should I join another network?
First, each network is different and provides you with different tools for different objectives. So it makes sense to belong to different networks if you find value in the features they offer. That being said, lets compare Facebook and LinkedIn specifically to Fast Pitch.

Facebook is a great social network for sharing content with Friends, and keeping in touch with people you know. However, due to the nature of the website - it is not where you want your business and professional image. Facebook is notorious for obscene content, sophomoric features and it only takes one comment or photo to paint a negative image of your business or brand.

Services like LinkedIn are made for the professional, but are very limited in features. LinkedIn primary offers a way to post your resume or biography, and validate your experience through your network. LinkedIn is a powerful way for professionals to find jobs, but does not provide any outlet to truly grow your network and build your business. In fact, Fast Pitch! offers the ability to promote your LinkedIn profile and helps grow your network on both LinkedIn and Fast Pitch.

Both LinkedIn and Facebook are complementary to Fast Pitch, but once you experience the Fast Pitch Network, you will see how more robust and relevant the features are to marketing your business.
