My Life Monday: Where I’m At

January 7, 2008

“Nell, what are some of the places you network?”

Networking is important to a telecommuter, freelancer, business owner….I’ve found it to be a vital part of my work at home career. You’ll not want to spend too much of your time hanging around forums, but if you do visit in moderation they can be powerful tools to your success.

The places I’ve networked have changed over the years as my career has grown and my needs have changed. I started out at places like wahm.com. I then added networking sites inside of ryze to my list, but since have dropped all my networking there.

I’ve been a member of SelfStartersWeeklyTips.com and am part of her private coaching folder within that forum. This forum is great for business owners. Mom Masterminds is one of the best resources of networking I’ve ever found. I’ve formed partnerships with members, found great VA’s and writers to use, networked with other people in my field and have the added benefit of the coaches and resources there.

And I’m always over at JustOnlineJobs.com - which is the forum I own and run. There are so many lovely members over there that always offer their all when somebody needs advice or help. I also know that some of the members there networked with other’s and that’s how they got work from home. In fact, a couple of the people that work with me do so because they joined the forum, networked with us, and we learned of their talents.

This is a tiny fraction of the awesome places online. But, I don’t want to overload you. Networking and learning at forums is important, but it’s also important not to get lost in them…and to make sure you’re joining quality forums that can offer you the type of networking and learning that’ll be good for your career/business.

Hey, if you like IM type networking then twitter might be your cup of tea, too. I network at twitter and enjoy the instant gratification of twitter. This is my page at twitter. If you join, add me to your list so we can follow each other.

Happy Monday!
