This is a great example of Networking and of promoting your blog, great job! I think your 5th reason is the most striking. We all have to remember that, even if we think it is a waste of time (or whatever your opinions may be), if your competitor is doing it than we better be doing it better!<BR/>I'll keep watching your feed and I look forward to more great stuff!<BR/>Are you on Twitter, by the way?<BR/>@MoniqueNelsonMoniqueNelsonhttp://moniquenelson.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-41606254218150905252009-04-09T04:47:00.001-05:002009-04-09T04:47:00.001-05:00Great list I like 3rd tip When marketing budgets a...Great list<BR/><BR/> I like 3rd tip When marketing budgets are cut, word-of-mouth is your only hope.<BR/><BR/>Thats quite true. <BR/><BR/>CrazzyCool<BR/>Sjay<BR/>This is my list of must download softwares you should keep with you<BR/>http://crazzycool.blogspot.com/2009/04/list-do-you-keep-have-these-softwares.htmlCrazycoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16291670224628804636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-1816501532512981142009-04-09T04:47:00.000-05:002009-04-09T04:47:00.000-05:00Enjoyed your blog.

I would also add that networking is also a great way to get some possitve energy and optimism in your life when the press and general public is focused on all the negative energy. I think this goes along with what you were saying about your network being your safety net. <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>ChuckChuck Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06249821353565070938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-84133343275182763742009-04-08T07:15:00.000-05:002009-04-08T07:15:00.000-05:00I also meet great resources when I am out networki...I also meet great resources when I am out networking, and other biz owners, who I can just talk to about busienss issues, kind of like a support group to bounce ideas off of. <BR/><BR/>by the way, found you from the ProBlogger postLorraine Ballhttp://www.roundpeg.biznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195787.post-63287638386152717272009-04-08T06:11:00.000-05:002009-04-08T06:11:00.000-05:00Thom,Enjoyed your post and got here via the commen...Thom,<BR/><BR/>Enjoyed your post and got here via the comment from ProBlogger. Some good tips about networking, absolutely. Just joined a leads group 2 months ago and have gone out for coffee and lunches many times in the last several weeks--the benefits of doing so are already becoming apparent. The personal connections do matter and I have found to be very enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone that putting the time in up front and living the "Give-Ask-Receive" model to be very worthwhile. This might sound strange, but now I find myself wanting give leads to others almost as much as if not more than receiving one!<BR/><BR/>Marc <BR/>Marc Littmann Photography<BR/>www.littmannphoto.comMarc Littmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348711133135821452noreply@blogger.com
