Hot New Networking Ideas!

First, let me tell about a new online networking site I found. It's called Biznik. I've got dozens (or more) contacts in Linkedin and Pulse. But this one is different. It's a true business networking site. Meet new people, trade referrals, post articles and promotions. You can even use tags to up your search engine ratings. There's so much to see that I can't really do it justice here. You can join for free and get cool stuff. There are also two higher levels of membership you can try. But don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself!

Now let me tell you about one of the great ideas one of the women that's in my network came up with. It's called Pay It Forward. Several of us are going to meet for lunch at a restaurant. We're going to pick a table of unsuspecting folks and buy their lunch. They'll get an envelope with our business cards and a note telling their lunch has been paid for by us and all we ask is that they look at the cards and see if they - or anyone they know - can use our services. If so please contact us. Brilliant! Even if we don't get any direct business, the recipients will have a better day. And they will remember us. Find out more about Lisa's wonderful plan!
