Networking online is similar to whatyou’ve been doing your whole life, but

you get to look at a wider range ofpeople

Being active on social networkswill make you more findable

Before you do anything else, youhave to figure out what you stand for

You probably already know aboutFacebook, Twitter and LinkedIn

Have you ever considered Dribbble,Pinterest, Behance or Geeklist?

Do you have a personal website?How about Google Reader?

Having so many options meansthat we need to set goals - both

large and small

Have an end goal in mind, butdon’t be married to it

Think of smaller goals that willmake you happy in the

meantime and set you on thepath toward your end goal

Who do you want to meet?

Where can they be found?What are their key interests?

Begin conversations online - cansomeone introduce you?

If not, how can you get theirattention and create conversation?

Conversations must eventuallymove offline for lasting effects

Will you meet in a group/eventsetting, or one-on-one?

Be prepared
