We all started working online because we are social and like
helping others to fulfill each others dreams. Networking sites
are ones to be used as resources. They are forms to advertise
what business' you are involved in but more so ways to meet
people, help them, and become friends.
When I started out I was not taught the right way of networking with
people at all. I sent out mass emails to people with not a single
response. Or, with sending those mass emails I was thought of two
ways:
A) Newbie!!! Stamped right on my forehead. Therefore an easy target.
B) Experienced and not really caring of anybody but my business'.
Seriously, does any of us really want to be thought of in either light?
I thought not. You would not invite somebody to your home and
start talking about business right off the bat. You want to get to know
them. Have a pretty good dinner talking about life and sharing interests.
Maybe, have a beer on a hot summers day while enjoying the music
blaring on the back deck. Talking about "old times" with your new
found friend.
I never liked going to the bosses home for dinner where all we did was
talk about business and the latest recourse. Most times I never stayed
with the job if all they did was talk about the business. Never really
relating with me as a person but relating to me as a number in their business.
If my boss related to me. I believe I would follow just about any path they
went down. If they were sharing a beer with me. On that back deck while
sharing where they were at the time that song blaring. And allowing me to
relate in turn. I think I would be more apt to the stock suggestion that was
mentioned. Wouldn't you? And how many times were you in the situation
I have described?
Simple rules of networking with people on network sites:
1) No mass emailing about the business you are in.
2) Genuinely care for the person and business they are advertising themselves.
3) Offer to help in any way possible to help them in their networking
experience themselves.
Happy Networking! And any other helpful suggestions will be welcomed
greatly. These are only my experiences in life and online.
Always,
Dawn
