-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.

Comment by Lisa Lawrence on January 18, 2009 at 12:09am: Hello, I am truly excited to be apart of this awesome group. The law of attraction truly brought me here because I really can't explain how I got the email to join and I didn't hesitate one second and filled out my profile. I am a single mother of two and have been a part-time entrepreneur for over 4 years now. I'm in the health and wellness industry, but my MISSION is to EDUCATE individuals on how to CREATE WEALTH for themselves. I was recently LAID OFF my job two months ago so I'm going to FOCUS totally on the kind of income streams that will enable me to stay at home with my children. Please add me to your friends list so we can learn from one another.

I have finally found a place to network with like minded people. I am new to this network site however in reviewing the comments of the people here I am very impressed. I am the Director of a Business Club in Orlando Florida named BiZ-HuB. We have recently changed our name to discribe exactly what we do. We give businesses a chance to stay in business by reducing OVERHEAD. Check out a preview at our previous club site www.MyOfficeClub.com we will have the new site up soon. URL is www.BiZHuBClub.com

Comment by Minister Dave on December 29, 2008 at 5:40pm: Michael Crooks,

You hit the nail on the head. We all have our own biz that we think and maybe is the cats meow. I am here to meet new people and get to know them. If they want to see what I do and how I do it thats great. If not, that's OK with me to! Networks like this should not be just a way to post ads. I want to know you and maybe we cann help each other!

Peace,
Minister Dave
