One Million Friends or One Million Dollars

May 14th, 2008 · 8 Comments · General

Ok, here is a big question for all online business owners…  Would you rather have$1 million dollars, or 1 million friends on something like Facebook or LinkedIn?

* The 1 million friends are all at least partially relevant to your niche.

    I take the money …they are much more easier to manage than 1.000.000 friends. And if you are thinking that you should sell something to those 1.000.000 “friends” that is called spam, nobody has the time and energy to have that number of friends.

    1 million friends. If half of my friends would give me $10 for my birthday present I would make 5 million bucks.

    The friends hands down. The social capital would be worth far more.

    And no you’re not selling something to those 1 million friends necessarily (unless it’s something they want). You just want them to tell other people about you and what you’re up to.

    With a headstart of that many friends, the word would spread practically instantly.

    I’ll take the money. friends are great but money would be more useful especially since online friends can be difficult to really be friends with.

    I take 1 million friends .. yes, money is good for short term, but in long term I can have more ideas from friends than from the money. who knows I got more than 1 million dollars from their ideas.

    one million for sure. money and its appreciation will definitely connect me to important people. Besides, a million to stay in touch would be almost impossible.

    Shoot, I’d rather have the money. Friends betray you, money sticks around if you handle it properly.
