FROM ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY THROUGH INTERNET NETWORKING

Entrepreneurs around the world are tapping into the endless
resources that freely flow through Internet networking
communities. These communities are made up of enterprising women
and men who are seeking to discover new and innovative techniques
of establishing business relationships, building a client base,
and gaining increased exposure globally. Through e-mail lists and
electronic bulletin boards sponsored by such communities,
entrepreneurs can not only establish these viable contacts; they
can also share Internet resources to assist fellow members within
the communities in just about every aspect of business start up
and operation.

As a veteran in the ever-growing popularity of Internet
networking, I envision four distinctive elements that are
inevitably sought after from true networkers across the world.

1. A VAT OF INFORMATION
The Internet offers a vat of information to entrepreneurs.
However, knowing what you need to know and where to find it can
propose many challenges. Through effective networking,
entrepreneurs share their knowledge and resources in an effort to
help each other keep up with information that may be pertinent,
as well as useful, in growing their businesses.

2. PARTNERING THROUGH SUPPORT
Often times the isolation of working alone limits our creativity
and abilities, as well as our potential growth. Through Internet
community networking, entrepreneurs are able to establish
partnerships wherein they share various components of services
that will allow them to take on projects they may otherwise feel
forced to turn down. Reasons they turn


down opportunities may be
a result of time restraints or a lack of knowledge in specific
areas or aspects of a project.

3. INCREASED EXPOSURE
Through sharing your expertise and knowledge within your Internet
networking community, you earn trust and recognition among your
peers. Your participation serves as your initial means of gaining
exposure and becoming better established as an expert in your
field.

4. ENDLESS REFERRALS
Once your fellow networkers come to know and trust you, you will
begin to experience the fruits of your networking efforts. Not
only will your peers be more apt to utilize your services; they
will be quick to refer others to you. This generates a cycle of
word-of-mouth advertising that will contribute more to your
growth than high dollar advertising.

Networking through Internet communities offers a sense of
reassurance in that it bridges the gap by providing resources to
the entrepreneur that may not otherwise be readily available or
easily accessible. As your networking experiences begin to
produce growth for your business, it is important that you remain
an intricate part of the group and give back as frequently as you
can. As an active networker, you can turn an ordinary business
venture into an extraordinary success!
