A lot of young entrepreneurs ask me the question – How do I start networking?
And those who emailed / DM’d / or shouted out them question actually answered their question. They took the first step – connect.
Just drop them an email, DM them, @reply them or write on their wall or anything. Just get started.
At this point, often they say that they can’t think of anything to talk about. If you really can’t talk to them about anything, why do you want to networking?
Networking is done with like-minded people, like-minded means that there is something in common – talk about that.
- Write them an email to appreciate what they do
- Ask them a question (like the people who asked this question did)
- Blog about them
- DM / Tweet / @reply them
- Write on their facebook wall.
- Sing a song to them, record it, put it on YouTube (that might be too creepy)
There is no end to the ways you can connect – it really doesn’t matter how and about what you connect. Just connect.
Like many asked me how to network – so they could network. Do it for the fun of it.
Whom are you writing a mail today?

But how to find like minded people? =(
Looks like I have another post to write :P
You can find them on twitter, blogs, youtube. Look and you shall find.
Nice tips again.
I’m also big believer of fact that you Just have to connect no matter how. As far as “What to talk about” thing is concerned, you always know why are you networking at first place.
Whom are you writing a mail today?
I believe, I’m well connected with you know so going through the list for next potential target :P
Nice to see you here man!
Sure we just have to connect – doesn’t matter about what.
Yes we are connected, maybe write to someone you like on twitter, a blogger you admire or something like that?
