And the obvious... Build a Great Profile Page

-Personalize it, add blog posts, 10+ pictures, and YouTube videos

*Although there are boundaries to posting links directly to your own url, there are virtually no limits to promoting your own profile or group which links to your site.

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.

Well it is my business time and just checking to see if I made money whilst I was asleep. A good business plan. I play in Telco but involved in a SME www.ibox.com.au

Comment by Kavan Hayward on June 1, 2009 at 2:08pm: Hey everybody, I've started working from home and must say I should have started a long time ago. This is Awesome! I can hardly believe that this is even real. My main source right now is a company called Xango. They are absolutely on fire. The growth at Xango is huge, they are expecting to hit the 2 billion mark in annual revenue this year after only 7 years in operation and with ONE product. Truly Amazing.
