Networking is the most powerful force in business. Even
businesses that can afford lavish television commercials and
expensive newspaper ads say networking is the engine behind their
sales.
Most businesses say up to 80 percent of their clients come from
networking and word-of-mouth.
Networking is also an excellent way to get valuable, customized
information at low cost or free. Even one tip from an expert can
give you a big jump on your competition saving you lots of time
and money. I often use smart advice from very successful
entrepreneurs to help me earn profits from offshore
opportunities.
Networking for information is especially important on the
Internet. Bill Gates predicts the Net's most important function
will be to connect you with an expert who has the right solution
for your problem.
Here are three top ways to connect with people who can speed your
path to profits.
1. Find UseNet newsgroups that specialize in your main topic of
interest. There are thousands of groups discussing any subject
you can imagine. Most groups have one or more well-known experts
who are ready to answer your questions.
Post a few short comments or questions on the newsgroup over a
period of several weeks. Once you are known to regular
participants, you will find experts will be glad to send you long
emails of advice that would otherwise cost hundreds or thousands.
Best of all, this advice is tailored just for your situation.
2. Look for articles about ways to solve problems your business
faces. Search for them by entering possible article titles into
AltaVista.com or HotBot.com (which uses the major search engine
database on the Internet). When you find a good article, look for
the author's contact information at the end. Send the writer a
short note telling her how much you enjoyed their article.
Include a brief question about your situation. Most authors are
happy to email free advice.
3. Regularly spend time on major sites with big collections of
articles. Also browse the books in your local library. College
and university libraries have particularly rich collections on
just about any subject. Business articles and books are written
for people who are in a hurry. Usually you can skim through,
reading chapter titles and subheadings to find just the jewel you
need to supercharge your business.
