Social Fundamentals came about purely from our passion to become better people, meet more people, and have fun doing it.
Over the last few years Johnny and I have known each other, we have chatted on and off about forming a business, but it was always just talk over a glass of wine. It wasn’t until a late 2007, we decided to finally just do it. We knew we could help people do the things we’ve grown accustom to doing in our normal day to day lives.
Being friendly.
Meeting people.
Having fun being social.
It wasn’t until after a few brainstorming sessions we narrowed our focus down to teaching the fundamentals of being social and how to make friends and build your social circle.
As of right now, we have been doing free consultations on presence (for mainly men) only for the love of what we do. Eventually we may start charging, but that has yet to be determined.
We have 2 ebooks in the works. One about the basic social fundamentals of presence, and one about how to build and expand your social circle. Our tentative release date is April 2009. Wish us luck.
We can’t wait to get these things out there and change the world!
Thank you for your time.

Hi,
I ran across one of your socialfundamentals ‘popup’ webpages whilst seeking an answer to my ’social circle building’ question online.
The particular page I ran across boldly advertised, “Do You Want To Make More Friends?” which was instantly appealing so I kept reading. The intro webpage offered to send me your upcoming E-book for free when I sign up to your website. Signing up to your website sounds great because I definitely want some additional social circle building tips and perhaps a link to a network of others (similar to myself) whom are also seeking to build their social circle locally, etc.
But I was reading the basic fine print located below the sign up ‘webform’ section that pretty much states the sign up requirements and it dawned on me that the fine print terms didn’t give the price of the sign up nor does it give the price of the automatic newsletter subscription mentioned.
I Yahoo’d (Yahoo searched) your Social Fundamentals newsletter, and it led me to your official Social Fundamentals website, which looks nice by the way. But I still can’t find the sign up details nor the newsletter subscription details on your website. It’s not mentioned on your ‘Products’ page. The ‘Subscribe to RSS Feed’ link/page doesn’t provide details regarding the sign up cost nor newsletter subscription cost either.
I could easily assume that signing up is free and that the newsletter is free like many other signups and emailed newsletters, but assumption is often the mother of all screw-ups. I’m not assuming anything (especially after midnight). So, what is the website signup cost and newsletter subscription cost (if any)?

Of course, if the website signup and related newsletter subscription is free, that’s great. Just say that it’s all free. Blame it on my business law professor’s lectures, but I’d at least like to see the cost of my sign up and subscribing to your SocialFundamentals.com newsletter in writing somewhere ‘before’ I sign up to your website. Help me out!!!
P.S.: By the way, this Social Fundamentals business is a great idea! I’ve bookmarked your website and will likely tell some of my associates about it.
Thanks

Jahna, thanks for taking the time to read our stuff and for giving us feedback. We try to make things clear, but sometimes, even the most obvious things get overlooked. =)
Right now we’re focusing on getting our book out. Our current goal is by August 1st. The main reason being… we want to put out a quality product that represents who we are and what we stand for, and also something that gives a ton of value to the readers.
Cheers.
