10 Necessary Reasons for Social Networking
- Freelancers are lonely. We’re not needy lonely, but we do have moments throughout our day where we’d like to spend some time among our peers. It’s the only thing I miss about an office job.
- People are going to have to find you. If you’re not visiting blogs or forums and tooting your own horn, no one will no you exist.
- It always helps to have someone offer you some social media love. People who know you link to your blogs and give you and
- You’re creating your brand. Your name is your brand and you need to get it out there.
- Social networking is good for your traffic. When you drop links, people click. It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
- To build up community. You’re not all here because I just posted leads and left it at that. I visited other communities and encouraged you to visit. I reached out to you here and asked you to comment. I polled and questioned and asked what you wanted to see. I practiced social networking with you. I learned what you wanted by reading the comments.
- It helps to boost revenue. No one will click on your ads or buy from your affiliates if they don’t know about you. Social networking is important for building revenue.
- You’re turned on to new things. Without social networking I might not have found half the products, books, blogs and websites I visit now.
- Social networking builds trust. If I’m doing this right, you’re coming back every day because you trust the jobs here and you trust the information I post. It took a couple of years (hopefully less!) but you now trust me enough to spend time with me everyday.
- To make important business contacts. I made more important business contacts in two and a half years of blogging than in seven years of freelance writing. Thanks to blogging, people know my name and trust me as someone who gets the job done. Sometimes I look for work, but more often than not lately, it finds me. That wouldn’t have happened without social networking.
