Scroll down and you will see a ‘View All Members’ link. When you click this, photos of all group members will flash on the screen. Just point your mouse at one of them to see their profile. Next, look on the left side of your home page for the ‘Add a Friend’ link. You will receive the following question…
Do you really want to add ____ as a friend?

but most likely they have seen your blog. Some of them may find your post but not your blog. If both your newsletter post and your blog post contained the same information, it is likely to generate many more clicks. Much more if you publish a post only in your newsletter or blog.

Step 8 – Finally, you want to submit a newsletter post. Go to the ‘Publish newsletter’ link and paste it into your profile. Then click on the ‘Publish’ tab. Your newsletter will now be sent to all your friends and they will be able to read your message and see the links you have inserted.

This strategy will allow your post to stay on the first page of the bulletin board.
