If you haven’t heard of Mi925, don’t sweat it—it’s probably because this social network is highly targeted and fairly new to the scene. However, Mi925 offers a great opportunity to connect with professionals from any and all industries. The site was built with a focus on workers and gives employees from around the workforce a place to share their experiences that are related to their working lives. It’s where professionals can connect with other people on a more informal level, and share their work experiences that make them smile, cringe, learn, or just think “glad it’s not just me!” Obviously, the users here are already targeted, giving businesses a way to market their products or services directly to potential customers. If you know the industry that somebody is working in, then chances are you know the types of products or services that they need or want to use on a daily basis, making it easy and efficient to connect with them and build a professional, yet, informal relationship. Mi925 is all about connecting people within the workplace, which is a great place to try and do business and market your products or services.
