With Neil Godin (connect with me at http://ca.linkedin.com/in/neilgodin)
What? Today, let’s keep growing our LinkedIn networks. I gave you a step by step on how I expanded my connections (exponentially) as a member of the True LIONs group. Now, I want to introduce you to several other groups that I’ve also joined:
· The Everyone LION Group
· The Open Networker Group
· The New LIONs group
· The LION500.com group
· The FastTrack Business Network
Why? I’ve carefully chosen groups that appear to be well developed and universal. I’ve stayed away from the “jobs” and “recruiters” groups, because I want to network mainly with business owners, independent professionals, and sales and marketing people – not head hunters and job hunters. My plan is to leave groups that don’t fit my target, after exploring each one. And, of course, I’m suggesting you do the same.
How? You can find (and join) each of these groups by clicking on ‘Groups’ and selecting ‘Group Directory,’ and then entering the key word, “lion.” Then simply click on ‘Join group’ in each case. (Note that I’m going for numbers by joining these wide open LION groups. I also belong to groups that are much smaller and more targeted, and you will want to do the same – but we’ll leave that topic for another day). My next move will be to send a message to all my connections, providing a link to the MD blog. Hopefully, traffic to the blog will increase dramatically. We’ll see – and we’ll letcha know.
Tipzntrix: When I did a Google search on ‘LinkedIn open networkers’ the first listing was for Wikipedia – where I was delighted to read all about open networking – and found links to non-LinkedIn sites that you may want to check out as well, including:
· The MetaNetwork – The LIONs Lair
· MyLink Network for Libertine, Open, and Closed LIONs and Networkers
· MyLink Wiki LinkedIn community information site. Active Networkers page
Hey. Have a great weekend huh!
