Networking On A Budget

Chances are if you have started your own business you have access to the internet. Chances are you’re also on a start up budget when it comes to marketing your business. Well, guess what? There are a ton of ways to network with other professionals right there on the internet. Now, for some of you this is a no-brainer. But there are plenty of new business owners that just don’t know where to begin.

Do some research. Test the waters on many networking sites and see what works for you and what’s comfortable for you. Check out Yahoo message boards, look up people in your industry and follow them on Twitter. See if your local chamber has an online forum you can join.

Remember, joining all of these sites won’t get you immediate business. You have to participate. Join in chat conversations, post questions and answers on the forum message boards.

If you find you just don’t have the time to post a few tweets or update your fan page or you just don’t have the patience think about hiring a virtual assistant. We are here to help you run your business so you can succeed doing what you do best!
