Networking is a great way to learn things.
Especially business stuff – I mean you’re surrounded by people that are in business, or run businesses. Successful women? Networking is how to meet them. Even work at home moms network, and many moms are looking to make money without leaving the house.
So you ask questions [...]
Even if you are working in a corporate job.
Even if you are doing what you do for completely philanthropic reasons.
Even if your boss made you go to a networking event and you don’t really want to be there.
It is in your best interest to be able to explain what you do and [...]
When people asked you what your major was in college, you probably told them the vaguest answer possible.
English
Math
Business

Depending on your company, you may find that the people you’re encountering in networking situations aren’t as advanced as you need them to be in order for them to be an ideal client.
For example, say you work with small businesses, but all you’re running into are sole proprietors. They’re interested in what you do, [...]
Chris Brogan was kind enough to respond to my last post with this comment:
Great points, except that’s not my ad. It’s Radian6’s ad. They bought an ad to support the Twebinar series that I helped them produce and that I hosted.

So you’re networking online, right? You’re making a following for yourself. You have oodles of followers on Twitter and you’re a Facebook rockstar with a well-loved blog and people who go to Podcamp think you’re a demi-god for all intents and purposes. (Hey, that’s what I’ve heard, seriously!)
