Andre,
Thanks for your insightful comment. When I first started on Social Networks I was felt it was a bigger time waster than value add in my life. Now I have realized how to leverage social networking technologies effectively (although I am always learning).
Most people don't realize the connections they already have and how they can lead to places that they want to go or to be. The key is focusing your networking and being authentic ; nothing worse than a fake person who is networking.

Best of luck,
Alpesh

Hi Aleph,

This was a brilliant post, and a timely one, since I'm in the middle of reexamining my resistance to social networking technologies. My usual stance is that they simply multiply the number of inboxes I have to track. But the idea of using them in the more lightweight fashion you recommend, just to remain present in other people's minds, make a lot of sense. Thank you for writing this.

Hey Laurie,
Thanks for your compliment, I'm glad you enjoyed it ;). I've love to hear
from you how it goes after you contact some people as well – you never know
where it might go!

Hey,
Thanks for your comment! I never believed it myself until I started
realizing how many opportunities open up just by strengthening relationships
- and of course being someone worth recommending =)

This is great! Lots of good information…and news to me, so I appreciate your writing it and Sid for posting it. Thank you both! As I type I'm thinking about which of my friends and acquaintances who I haven't been in touch with lately; now I realize it's time to send them a message. Thanks again! ~ Laurie

I've gotten my last two jobs through networking. I happened to know people at the company where I was applying. Through Linkedin, I am learning how to trade Forex. Through networking at meetings, I am learning how to invest in real estate. Networking is King.

I just want to publicly thank Sid Savara for guest posting my article. Sid has been responsive and an absolute joy to work with. There are two things about Sid that I can say for sure from my contact with him.

1. Sid has a passion for excellence for his blog and works diligently to put out the best information
2. Sid actually lives what his blog promotes which is hard to find.

Thanks again ,

Juancav,
Social networking does work but to me the effectiveness of social networks increases with personal contact over time. Thanks for your comment Juancav.

Zen Mommy,
I am glad that you found the post informative. How can I add value to this person's life ? Once I started asking myself this question on a consistent basis I realized I could give more than I had up to that point. I used to ask myself the question ” How come they haven't done something for me?” I realized that it's not up to me whether they do something for me ; all I can do is serve them and leave the rest to a higher power.

Jay,
Appreciate the comment and I am glad that my post has helped reinforced what you are already doing. To be honest twitter has helped me with adding value to others on a consistent basis.

Thanks,

Thanks for the comment Derek , Authenticity is essential for developing your network and another key to networking from my experience is not staying in a comfort zone. Being able to push yourself to meet others outside of your current network keeps me fresh and excited to see how I can add value to them.

Derek,
Thanks for the comment. Authenticity is key for everything you do cause in this internet age ; the transparent individual carries marquee value. I heard a great relation to this from Charlie "Tremendous" Jones stating there is two languages that an individual speaks.
1. Language of the heart ( your intentions)
2. What you speak out of your mouth.

He stated that the first must be right for the person to listen to the second. I recommend the speed of trust to everyone who is looking to learn more about being authentic or transparency.
