Made $5,000 by Networking

Now I must admit that I am very shy. I usually don’t run into crowds and start introducing myself to everyone in sight, but I have found that moderate Networking can make you big money.

First, find a networking group related to topics you are interested in (ideally a topic you want to make money on).

Then, mingle and listen to some of the conversations in the room.

Join in the conversation if you can add value or you would like someone to go into more detail.

Here is the Value in Networking:

Allows you to discuss ideas/plans with each other like minded people that may have more experience than you (free coaching).

Allows the exchange of information where people have sat down and shared everything they know about a certain topic with each other (free information).

Allows for Lessons Learned (Monetizing in your business)- Where you learn about other peoples mistakes and learn not to make the same mistakes (valuable information).

Allows for the exchange of keys resources and contacts (sharing valuable contacts can be priceless).

Allows for more networking to others contacts (networking).

Here is how I made $5000 in an hour:

I was attending an investment group. I’m always looking for ways to help others gain financial independence and for ways to increase my cash flow. The focus of this meeting was how to increase cash flow with real estate.

I listened to a room full of strangers having conversations and the theme was how they do not know how to create website to promote their businesses.

This is where I jumped in because I offer online ecourses that teach people how to create websites and then sell the specialized knowledge they have in either an Ebook format or Audio & Video format.

Regardless of the business you are in, most businesses will thrive if they are online and thrive even more if they can offer information via ebooks or videos. So by simply listening to the needs of others and exchanging information with them, there wanted to by my information.

Through networking, I have also found friends. As friends we can share valuable information that might not have otherwise been available for Free.
