Ten Ways to Get Into the Right Clique for Social Networking

Whether you tap into mainstream social networking Web sites (like Facebook or MySpace.com ) or those more geared toward businesses (like LinkedIn, Fastpitchnetworking.com, or Ecademy.com), here are 10 points to keep in mind:

1. Social Networking Is Networking
2. Pitch Softly
3. Build for Posterity

4. Have Others Toot Your Horn

Upload up to three positive news clips with help from LinkedIn's "Add Web sites" function. Get fans to send in testimonials and photos to beef up your Facebook profile. Link to your own blog via Facebook's Mini-feed. These are easy, and cheap, ways of letting potential customers know how great your company is.

Speakers... don't forget to bring a door prize.

Purchasing your door prize from another BNI member is a great way to exercise our "Givers Gain" philosphy.

NOTE: please be sure to fill out and bring your speaker profile so you can be introduced properly. By the way, did you know that you can fill out and print your speaker profile online so that it's easier for Rod to read when she introduces you!

Great food - better networking
