Taglines in Action

Today I helped out Eblizz (as I’ll be doing one day a week until I have a full time job).  They are an exciting start up that will be changing the way we share information on the web with our friends. I offered to help my friend, their Director of Product Development for free, as [...]

Networking organizations

One of the easiest ways to network is to find an organization that specializes in what you are interested in. Whether its a Meetup, the Bar Association, American Marketer Assocation, or a GreenDrinks group, connecting with like minded people in industries of interest to you is always good practice. If you are interested in Tech, [...]

Free food brings people together

Today, at every Denny’s across the country there were lines and lines of people. Why? Because of free food. Denny’s in a fun marketing campaign centered around superbowl ads, decided to give every person a free Grand Slam breakfast today. When I saw the ad on Sunday, I happened to be sitting next to a [...]

Mentors

I’ve always been a fan of having a mentor, someone to look up to, to advise you on how to accomplish your goals. A few times in my life I’ve asked people to be my mentor. No one has really agreed to take it on full fledged but more often than not they’re happy to [...]

Taglines

When networking it’s important to know your tagline, and somehow not have it be a tagline. We all know that companies have taglines, “Think Different” “Just Do It” “Drivers Wanted” “The Few, the Proud, the Marines”, and you need one too. Because you aren’t Siegel + Gale no one is expecting you to come up [...]

Anonymous connections save you money…

Mint.com is this great website I found out about at Likemind a few weeks ago.

They help you organize your finances for FREE. They keep track of your spending, organize it for you, and help you understand where you might be spending too much. How do they know you’ve been spending too much, or [...]

Connections deliver…

How my overly friendly networking has delivered thus far (in the form of actual work):

1) I’m organizing events for Mixergy and sharing part of the profits for the events.

2) I got to work on a SWOT analysis for a small start-up consulting firm.

3) I have an interview tomorrow for a job I”m [...]

Advisors

The innerconnection of all of us working together

For the Iphone application empire I’m slowly putting together a group of advisors. So far we have: Marcy the i-lighter founder who is like a second mother to me Fred the current imdb/amazon person guru who will advise me on celebrity fun and tech affiliate goodness [...]

Follow-Up

My mother who read my entire blog earlier this week questioned whether I follow-up on all of the connections I list. I informed her that of course I do; everything gets done. Today was a banner day for follow-up.

In the morning I filled out the online application for a job that my old roommate [...]

“Professional” Networking

So my friend Kaitlyn today joked that I should be a professional networker. To a certain degree I already think that I am one, but I guess I don’t get paid to do it. In theory though, by helping Mixergy out with events and getting part of the profit for it, I will be getting [...]
