Five Ways to Break into Online Networking
Using the Tool of the Internet to Expand Your Reach in Networking

Networking Now

These are Five Important Ways to Leverage the Internet for Networking

1. Join one or more online communities and actively participate (this does not have to be another job, consistency is more important than quantity. So just pick how many times a week works for you once or twice a week and be consistent.)

2. Start a Blog or write a regular column for an e-newsletter (you are then seen as an authority.)

3. Develop an e-newsletter for your own company; share broad content, make sure it's of real value to your readers and encourage them to participate in the conversation. (by the way this raises your ranking in the search engines when there is frequent content added. Inviting your "Tribe" to add content, makes sure you're not doing all the work-smile)

4. Remember online networking is about developing trust, just like offline networking. No pitching or hard selling, develop the relationship first and offer value to build trust and stand out from all the noise on the internet.

5. Online networking has it's own cultural norms. Recognize this so you can create referral opportunities, not just leads.

If anyone has any questions feel free to email or call me and thank you for your time and attention.
