A lot of people are misusing Twitter. Social networking is not all about spamming your links to all your followers on Twitter. It is a way to interact with other online users who have similar interests as you. When you make friends on Twitter, they can potentially help you make more money online in your web business.
In my 29 years of recruiting, I have talked with and trained over 200 recruiters around the country in advanced recruiting techniques. Given this, I’ve learned two things 1) the recruiting industry is not homogeneous and 2) we all may be different, but there is one constant; how we find people. There really isn’t anything all that unique about how recruiters go about locating potential candidates. We all use our networks and other people’s networks. This includes both on-line networks such as LinkedIn (Consider joining a LinkedIn Job Search Group) and off-line such as networking groups in our community.
1) Get clear on what you’re looking for. What kind of job or opportunity do you want? Keep it short and sweet so you can communicate it easily. Practice that as your “elevator speech” for meeting new potential employers or future colleagues.
Here are some importance of networking that come from building my business during my 10 years in private practice and more than that networking inside organizations. Yes, if you want to build a professional career, then you need to know the right players inside your organization as well as out in the world.
Think you have to come up with something totally unique. Try not to invent a new wheel. If you want to succeed, your chances are greatly enhanced by doing something that has already proven successful. There is always room for new entrepreneurs and many communities will openly embrace you.
So you know where your target market “hangs out” online now you just need a low cost ad to grab their attention. A virtual assistant with a marketing background will be more than happy to create a few sample ads for you to choose from and even post the ads for you! If payment is required to post the ads then your virtual assistant will send you a separate invoice for advertising fees.
Conference calls and digital meeting has become possible. It also can hold up to eight different phone lines. This way, the organization saves on telecom costs, reducing charges without sacrificing high-speed Internet access. The location of the business from the telecom site determines data charges for one T1 line.
Choose a software defined networking group based on the type of people you want to meet. Who are your best prospects–business owners, HR professionals, writers, nurses, lawyers? Participate in groups catering to them.
Get yourself a business card, or “career card.” You’re a professional with some skills, education and a bit of experience, right? So what if no one has hired you to put all of that awesomeness to work yet? You still need to come across professionally to all that you meet. Without it, how do you anticipate giving out your contact info? On the back of a bank deposit slip? Shoving one of your resumes into their suit pocket? Maybe even add a phrase about what you do or want to do.
When it comes to the future of media, the writing is on the wall. The Internet will lead the way and all other media will become a support to that giant.
