Facebook has focused on the conversation, but not really on absorbing the Web into its walled garden.

A Web site is the only medium of semipermanent communication where you can express yourself.

To gain paying customers you'll need to focus on attracting the right followers, and not just on attracting the most. Communicate often with useful information to increase your value, and focus on pitching your product in a genuine way. Make sure you have a professional web presence, and with any luck, you should start noticing your efforts pay off.
