Today on my friend Martin’s blog, I talked about how being socially afraid to network will amount to nothing gained. Facebook and Twitter should be viewed as more than a tool to find college friends or old boyfriends (I hope YOU weren’t doing that!) but it should be viewed as a marketing tool.

Where else FOR FREE but on places like Twitter and Facebook can you talk about what it is that you do or sell? Where else but these types of networking places will you get to share with other interested people your passion for your business, whether that’s network marketing or the newly invented widget?

You have to market yourself if you want people to notice you. For instance, I am willing to bet from this post alone that no one will comment or try to connect with me in any way. I am a business person and I am reaching out to you to connect with you and form a business relationship that will perhaps benefit us both…but will you reach back? Will you tap into the resources of THIS blog in order to appeal to the readers of The Daily Exhorter? If you decide not to, that’s fine. But if you do, I’m sure you’ll see just how easy it is.The rewards of your actions will far outweigh any preconceived notions that you had about networking online.

Let’s see what happens…
