We all have something to offer, I hope we can find people with similar interests here and other social media sites!

Everyone has something to offer, be it offline or online.
There is always something to try, buy , see, do or hear.

I tend to take a look at other profiles to see what others offer and to see if i can lend a hand or inform them of my company and services.

I own Corporate Internet Solutions and we provide website hosting.
We are forever growing client and contact base.

Our company website is http://www.rsdarkness.com/.

Thanks for joining the discussion Michael. Yes we are in the business of selling. I hope others will see this as an opportunity to get to know some people and share what they have to offer knowing that we all want to promote what we have. It's not a bad thing to offer up what we have. It's a bad thing to not consider what others have. Keep on keepin on and the best of luck to everyone...Roy

Hi Roy. Thanks for this wonderful post. I do my best to read everyone's profile page and get to know them. It's not always easy when you gather many friends but I try to keep in touch with the people who are my friends by sending them a greeting each day and checking out their websites or their pages. This is definitely practicing The Golden Rule. Thanks for the reminder. Have a great day.

Blessings,
Krystara

Hi Roy
Your point is well taken! People spend a lot of time
in most cases creating beautiful profile pages and often
don't get looked at a bit. I personally enjoy discovering
what people have on their pages about themselves and
what they enjoy. Make for well rounded folks in my opinion.

It is soo true that others will pursue you if you just show an
interest in them without all the time pushing your own stuff
on them. I enjoy it when I ask my friends and contacts to
join me in something and they just c'mon over without question
I feel that is because they know I respect and value them first.

I think we should start to think of friends as people who might need our help and not just as what they might do for us. Whether we get signups for our programs or not shouldn't be the reason for adding friends. If we find out what our friends are looking for and try to provide it to them we'll be a lot more successful than if we just try to influence them to take what we're offering.

In other words, instead of trying to find contacts to send our opportunities to, we need to find what people need and then search for them and help them find it. I think that a lot of people get it backwards and that's why they have such a hard time getting sales. They're trying to sell the products instead of giving the people what they want.
