Networking and Building relations are one of the coolest things you can do while just surfing around, or sitting free, or while you are off from writing articles. Now this can be done again in a lot of different ways. Even if you talk and introduce yourself to 15-30 persons a week, it will make a huge difference.
The benefits of networking and relationships are enormous:
1. You get to know more about people of your interest.
2. You can get your articles, works shared by others more easily.
3. You can get many paid and other useful opportunities.
I cannot just list out everything. All I want is, every one of you must start talking professionally with people who you haven’t yet talked to or whom you admire or whom you follow. No-one is big or small, you just have to get the right way of approaching others.
Note: 50% (or even more) friends you have on Facebook are still unknown to you or even you are unknown to them. Half of us add people seeing mutual friends. And that’s okay, but it’s not perfect unless you get introduced to that person and actually talk to that person.
Building Relation by Social Media Community
Now here’s how you can start your networking and make some serious useful relations with other fellow bloggers or IM guys or anyone of your interest.
Simply open up your friend list, and start messaging 5-10 people every day. These 5-10 people must be the ones you don’t know about or the ones who you feel don’t know about you.
You can start a casual discussion, but it’s always good to be professional at first. Never ever just send a hi/hello and wait for their reply, rather start a nice conversation.
Here lies the art of networking !! You must learn the way to get easy with it, which of course will happen with regular implementation of this thing. Let me also share a template kinda thing, I just wrote it once ( I don’t use templates for networking). The following is just for you to get some ideas.
“Howdy!

Well, we’ve been friends on FB for the past few months but haven’t got a chance to talk.

I guess you are doing some kind of product launch. Saying this after seeing some posts on my feed. Well best of luck for it, Hope you will get good sales and promotion.

Well, I sent this to a person who was into launching products. This way, start a conversation, know others and get known! First at least to your so called friends on FB.
Final Words:
Being active in the community and social network will always very beneficial for your business. I hope some of you will implement this, just 15-30 new conversations every week and after 2-3 months you yourself will see the difference. Feel free to ask me any question if you have in your mind.
