Online Social Business Networks 1. Time independent: 24/7 2. Place independent: from you pc – stay at home 3. Local & Global 4. Targeted: use keywords, companies names to find the right people 5. Inbound: Passive presence - While you sleep people will search you. Make it easy for everyone. Put your picture up. Give them information. Tell them everything, because they really do not know. Blog. 6. Competitive: Stand out as you have competition. Visit others in your field and see what they have. Copy from the best! 7. New: start now, then you are ahead of most of the universe. You will be established when others catch on. 8. Memory-proof: you can keep track of your network. Social Networks have online profiles so you don’t forget, some keep track of your message exchange. 9. Efficient: you can connect online with far more people than you could ever meet face to face on a daily basis. Geert Conard – Networking in a new economy 5
