One Final Note:
Networking on Sta.rtUp.biz is no different from any other business networking event that you attend in person. The rules of success are the same.
1) You need to be well dressed - A nice profile and profile picture
2) You have to work the room - 100 comments a day
3) You engage before selling - Thoughtful comments
4) You ask for a business card - Make a friend request

You would never show up to an event in a tank top and start shouting out loud, "I sell insurance!" over and over again. It is rude, people will ignore you, and you will probably be escorted outside by security and told never to come back.

The same is true here.

I have used now 4 different people services from the group without even a visit to my websites.
I am beginning to feel like the social network sites even the ones fro business are just alot on lips service and no action. I offer free samples for a small shipping fee and not one have come from this site. Yet I hear we all are here to support each other. ( but it I will support you if YOU go first and I see how much you spend with me then I will spend the same with you.) This is where the LAWS of the universe start to fall down. Read "the Go Giver" and find out what it is really all about.; ▶ Reply to This

Hey, I could be wrong, but maybe the universe is giving you what you are giving out. Doesn't that tie in with the LAWS of the universe? I don't know. Could be.

If you market the way it is being suggested, you should see your SEO ranking going higher in Google.

Just some thoughts going here.

Sincerely,
Terry

Permalink Reply by Terry Allison on October 7, 2008 at 10:41pm: This is so true. It really aggravates me when someone says, "Hello" and then slaps me with their "business card". I hate it when they do that. I'm more interested in people, then their business. Once I get to know them, maybe we can do business together in some way. Thanks for this helpful advice. I hope a lot of people will read this.

Sincerely,
Terry
