Forums and specific clubs within networking sites also offer you opportunity to post your opinions and advice, along with your website address and an invitation to link or view your recent blog. This is an important source of free advertising which can not be ignored and reaps benefits with more visits to your site and increased business this may bring. These clubs also often provide advice about networking events, meetings if you prefer physical contact or immediate connection with online members via MSN or Skype.

I started with 4 direct connections who were essentially friends and previous work colleagues who, in turn, linked me to some 4000 others. I thought this was impressive and wondered where more intense networking might take me. When opportunity came to get serious about global networking I grabbed chance and started searching for best networking sites on web. Six weeks later I had 52 direct connections who give me access to over 1,700,000 professional people from all over world.

How did I do it? With hard work and persistence. My first few weeks networking were taken up searching out type of people I wanted to connect with and then making first introductory forays to gain their confidence to join me in my network group. I tailored my initial message carefully to ensure that person I was inviting to my network understood clearly what I had to offer them as a valued partner or advisor in business. I added links within my message to make it easier for them to visit my website and my profile and I made it clear that I was ready to contribute to their success. I then encouraged them to take action by joining my network at LinkedIn. (www.linkedin.com/)

As a result I am now networked to people from all walks of professional life with distinct interests and business goals. I now have capability to reach 1,700,000 people (without spamming them) in order to help them where I can, and ask them to assist me in my business goals.

I encourage you to consider networking as a great way to connect with people all over globe and improve your business and personal life.
