Many social media sites Marketplace, once installed, will offer you a place to list things for sale, housing, jobs, and classified ads.
There is even a spot for free stuff too.
The opportunities will be divided up by your networks.
So, don't be surprised if you don't see everything on your social media sites from the entire site.
It is set up to be a community marketplace, so it makes perfect sense to see only those listings from people in your network.
That is why you want to setup your network to be the place where you mostly do commerce, not where you live.
It is the basic area where people within social media sites go to do commerce within social media sites.
However, it doesn't complete transactions between buyers and sellers.
That is done offline between the two parties.
RadicalBuy RadicalBuy is another marketplace application that is more robust than social media sites Marketplace.
It will allow you to recommend products to people on your contact list.

You can cross-sell between RadicalBuy and Many social media sites Marketplace.

Appsaholic This application is for people who have created their own applications and want to monetize them.
We will go over creating your own application in Chapter 8.
However, if you choose to do this, you will want a way to track the performance of your application and to place ads on it so that you can get a return on your investment.
This application claims to be the #1 social media sites ad network for application developers.
Commerce Cards The idea behind the Commerce Cards application is similar to a conventional commerce card.
Except instead of handing it to someone for future reference, you can attach your commerce card to social media sites messages.
You can browse other commerce cards and make connections that way too.
It is a sort of visual way of establishing your identity in a way that keeps you from having to keep writing the same thing over and over.
This application was a bit buggy in its inception, but appears to have been fixed to allow a person to edit the commerce card information once it has been entered.
