I used three functions in advanced search to get what I want. I used the "all of these words" option and put Gaming community, because I am looking for people that want to play, talk and hang out with fellow gamers. I used "any of these words" function to try to help narrow it down to the games that we play and help teach with. I used the words MechWarrior, Elder Scrolls, and Defiance. Finally, I used the language function to narrow to English only, because I only read English. These results got me exactly what I was looking for in my community.
I found many results. Most of the results I found were people or experts I was looking for. I followed a couple of people who were interested in communities in these games. I, also added some gaming news twitters that were related to the games we talk about. Over all I found it to be a great success and hope I draw people into the community I am trying to create.

Gaming review Businesses Using Visual Social Media
I found two websites that are doing similar things that my business is doing. They are doing reviews for many different games. The first one is IGN.com, now they don't have the gaming community I am working for, but they are doing the reviews and training similar to what I do. IGN is using Youtube to distribute a lot of there videos. It is highly effect. They have over 86,000 views just on there most recent video which came out 2 days ago and 2500 comments.
The next website I found doing similar things to me is Gamespot. They are also doing gaming reviews and learning videos, but like the other website, they are not really creating a gaming community. They have also decided to use Youtube to show there video reviews and learning videos. They also have been very effective. There video from yesterday has over 13000 views and 300 comments. They were not as effective as IGN, but they definitely are successful.

The Visual Networks - Do they work for you?
I would find it hard to believe that any company would not want to use any visual networks. It is a great way to get your company out there or get a message across. Most people engage with a image or video much quicker then they would a paragraph like the one I am doing now. I think Visual networks are great for my brand especially videos.
There are four major players in the visual networks, YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr, and Pinterest. They are all very popular and have there own benefits. YouTube alone has 490 million Users. That is a lot of potential people around the world that have access to your videos. Youtube is a great way to show services. People can see that your a real person and you care about your product or service. You can show them what you do and how you do it. Instagram is a fun way to tell stories with your pictures. You can unveil a new product, show off a event taking place or slowly show your work coming together. Pinterest is a great way to share between services and products that go hand and hand through pictures. You can link great photos of games your looking forward to check out and pin photos of gaming shots you have taken in recent times to peak peoples interest. Finally Tumblr, which is like a blog in photos. You have a beautiful visual medium to keep people up to date on what you want to let them know.
I am creating a community for gamers. To teach, to learn and to win together. We really want to bring everyone together. I think all these Visual networks are great and have amazing potential for my business. At this moment, the best one for me is Youtube for many reasons. For one, I am trying to teach people how to play different games. It is easiest and most appealing for people to be taught through a video, which I am already doing. I can also show teasers of what is to come in the future. Guys tend to respond best to videos also which is part of my target market at the moment also. Everyone loves visuals, you just need to find which one conveys your message the best.

Facebook Featured Likes
Most of my likes are for the games I am teaching, for example, I am liking League of Legends, MechWarrior
Online and Elder Scrolls Online. The chose these games because the games I do videos and reviews for are these games. So, these people are my target market and are hopefully going to be visiting this website. I also chose business that do Gaming reviews, because people looking there might need more specific help in there games and want to see what I can provide.
This option gets my business out there and hopefully brings people to my facebook and then my webpage. It also helps me know what people are doing in my related area. This helps me expand my content on facebook and my website. I really do hope this helps get my name out there.
