What you need to know about networking

4.) Share the wealth. If you know someone in the group is an expert, direct people to her and praise her. I am ready to recommend Ally and her busty bathing suit savvy to others. It is nice to say nice truths about people -- it makes you look good, feel good, and is helpful.

5.) Give it away for free. Nope, not that... your expertise. Offer to write articles on what you know. And get your stuff posted on other blogs, around the web, in different groups. Plaster the world with your thoughts, ideas, and strategies. And, if someone asks, "What makes you the expert on busy bathing suits?" you can point to the article on Work It, Mom and say “There, that does!” See! I am famous!

6.) Relax and have some fun. Don’t worry about what everyone thinks about your post or article. My first one was “Gee I hope they like it.” My next ones were filled with hope and all that goes with public service. Recently I am like “Read it or die, I really don’t care” but, I secretly do.

7.) Network with the intent to help. I really do want to help moms build better businesses. Even though my mug is on all these postings and I love people to read my blogs. People know when you are just promoting yourself because your sister was the pretty one!

  • I try to open these conversations by coming up with something or someone that we know in common. I find that's a good way to start a conversation, and not look like you're just some nobody. Also, meet your friends' friends. After you meet them, send some email about something interesting, so they'll remember you. Remenber, in email people cannot see your face or hear your tone of voice, so always be extremely polite.
