Evaluating Your Skills for Effective Networking with Networking Tips That Actually Work Before you attend your first networking function or a professional conference, it’s a good idea and I would say it’s mandatory that you realistically evaluate the skills you have and the skills you need.  Doing this evaluation can help you to create a roadmap that will help guide your networking efforts. The Skills You Have to Offer The main idea behind effective networking is that you pay it forward by offering to help others. First, you need to consider your skill set and what you can offer to those you meet. What are the unique abilities that you can provide? Tip: However don’t be too eager to just jump in and start telling people how you can help them, but more on that a little later in this training. It's often hard to recognize these skills by yourself. Few people have an objective understanding of their natural strengths and unique skills. It's much easier to seek the opinions of others that you trust to be upfront and honest about your strengths and skills. How do you help others in your work or daily life? How have you helped others in the past? What have been your most outstanding achievements? These types of things can assist in revealing your true strengths. Tip: All students of this training should have completed Strengths Finder 2.0 and have your results so you can use that as a guide primarily.  Your Networking Skills  There is a whole range of people skills needed in order to network effectively. It helps if you're direct, honest, and outgoing. Those skills will help you find and make a connection with virtually anyone.  The following short list of networking skills and questions to ask and answer will help when you’re working a room.  Good networking skills include: * The ability to approach others – How hard is it for you to strike up a conversation with strangers or introduce yourself? * Non-verbal communication – This includes eye contact and even how you position your body. How’s your posture? What about your facial expressions?  Do they match what you're saying verbally? * Conversation skills – Do you know when to interject your thoughts into a conversation?  Maintaining a balance between talking and listening, and keeping the conversation going is key to a productive and mutually enjoyable conversation. * Listening – Listening is one of the most important skills in a networking situation.  It’s important that you to pay attention to what others are saying in order to find commonalities.  In addition it’s just rude to be disengaged from a conversation just waiting to pounce on something you can respond to for whatever it is you’re offering.  Rant: Now for my Social Media peeps… you know who you are.  Stop tweeting when you’re talking to and meeting new people.  Unless you’re asking for the persons Twitter handle leave your phone in your pocket or purse.  Even when you are about to add them to Twitter and say something like “Let me add you on Twitter so we can keep in touch “, then put your phone away unless there’s an app or something you’re showing them that contributes to the conversation. * Self-confidence – You need to be able to communicate to others your expertise, knowledge, skills, and other benefits you offer them so don’t be ashamed to toot your own horn a little bit.  Be tasteful but communicate with pride about your skills. * Positivity – A big smile, plenty of enthusiasm and a positive feeling.  It’s really hard for other to not be inspired and to react to you in kind when you’re positive and full of energy. Have you ever noticed some people at networking events and conferences are just negative and try to point our negative situations in th...

He had over 7 million visitors to his website last year. Michael Stelzner has built one of the largest social media website on the web only second to Mashable! In this episode we cover so much ground in the areas of networking, social media and building your online and offline business your in for a real treat. Have you ever considered when you're creating content the reason you're doing it to begin with. Let me give you a hint… It's not to just market what you have to sell. Consider this, what would you rather read? A 10 minute pitch about a product crafted to look like an article but it's only talking about something they want you to buy. Or would you prefer to read something that's informative and written to educate? Well the latter is the approach that Michael Stelzner took when building Social Media Examiner. He focused on just producing great content without marketing messages. He covers this approach extensively in his book Launch. This approach is called The Elevation Principle: Great Content + Other People – Marketing Messages = Growth. Check out below what else we talk about in this episode. Specifically you will learn: * How to apply The Elevation Principle to your business. * The one thing you need if you want to sell a product online. * Discover how to build your first high quality conference or offline event. * Learn about MyKidsAdventures.com and how Michael is building this new resource for parents. Resources and Links in this Episode Include: Snapchat for Business: http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/snapchat-for-business/ Smart Passive Income: http://smartpassiveincome.com AmyPorterfield.com: http://www.amyporterfield.com/ I wanted to dig a little more into The Elevation Principle here for you just so you can have an idea of just how powerful it can be for your business or brand.  First off if you haven't read The Elevation Principle the concept of the principle is compared to a rocket ship.  Particularly the fuel that boost that rocket into the stratosphere Great Content Your content, the stuff you produce weather it be video, written articles or like me audio mostly is your content.  Some of of it is considered Primary fuel.  So for instance this blog post is an example of primary fuel for my brand and business. It's how to information with industry experts like Michael Stelzner that provides the primary fuel that builds your business. Nuclear fuel would be considered the second stage of the rocket with things like free event, networking meet-ups and webinars.  The type of events that can add a massive amount of value for your readers and followers.  Events like this not only build your credibility but can really help to grow your business. People  People or what can be referred to as your target audience.  These are of course the people you're attempting to reach and educate with the content you produce.  Industry experts should also be considered part of this equation.  Building relationships with these people is vital to the success of anything you are hoping to build.  After all people are the determining factor in the direction your rocket is headed.  That can be to the highest heights or you could crash and burn but people are what will get your there.  The better the relationship you have with your target audience the better more likely you are to get to the place you want to go.

It's just a fact that images with text get people to pay attention, and that's what we're all after on our websites isn't it?  One great tip Joe gave us in this interview is to know your audience and listen to what they are saying in the comments section of your blog.  That's where they communicate what's really important to them and what they're struggling with.
