Making the most of a network

• Don’t be overwhelmed by the number of sites available. Spend time investigating which would be the best for you.
• Select the network you want to join and then focus on it. Do not join too many and then leave your site abandoned.
• Put aside time every day to spend on the site. To be successful at networking, you need to take the initiative.
• Connect with others and ask them what they do. Never try to sell yourself to them without establishing a relationship first.
• Be patient: building trust takes time – do not expect immediate results.
