The Do’s And Don’t Of Business Networking Sites
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Business networking sites are a great way to connect with people that have similar businesses to yours, it is an easy way to learn of how they got through their rough times, and maybe even go as far as make joint businesses if you feel that the person and the timing is right. However, these business networking sites are similar to forums and blogs – there is a netiquette involved, and if one wants to prove worthy of being on that particular business networking site he should prove that he can abide to those particular rules. When we are discussing about small business networking sites (usually those built for niche businesses, so people can narrow down their searches) the rules tend to apply less, mostly because the community is smaller and it is easy to get over mistakes. The thing is, and I will restate something I mentioned two phrases ago – you need to make an impression, you cannot play the know-it-all and you surely cannot play the little kid that asks why at just about everything. Let us see what are the do’s and don’t of business networking sites.
