Why Join Sydney Networkers?


Networking Events in Sydney What is Sydney Networkers.net? Sydney networkers in a valuable online resource to help you grow your business network in Sydney. I tried other social networking sites such as linkedin and Facebook and found that it only serves to collect ‘friends.’ Rather than build relationships. You can’t dispute the value of getting face to face with your network to build a relationship. Sydney Networkers aims to facilitate meeting with a network rather than replace it. Think about it, you join a regular social site, you make friends and you simply move. Is it any wonder that they don’t work for you? You could be doing this so much better.

Imagine you meet someone at networking event. You exchange business cards and you may even follow up with a nice email. But then what? How will you manage your contacts? How will you keep regular contact with your network? How will you add value to your contacts. Sydney Networkers can help you to do just that!
Imagine instead that you invite your new networking buddy to Sydney Networkers and add them as a friend. You talk regularly on the forums; you read each others blogs on what you are doing in the industry. They form part of your exclusive black book of contacts and you are part of theirs.

Why Join Sydney Networkers?

• Sydney Networkers is Free!
• Find regular networking events, both paid and free events.
• Get networking Tips from the Networking Experts.
• Create an online profile page to advertise what you do.
• Create a blog to update contacts about changes in your venture or business.
• Manage you contacts and create a ‘blackbook’ of contacts.
• Position yourself as an industry leader.
• Organise networking Drinks Through the Networking Events Calendar.
• Extend your sphere of influence.
• Educate your network to know what to look for in your ideal customer.
• Discuss and collaborate with your network on the forums.
• Search for people to add to your network

Do you run a networking group or event?
All networking groups need new people to come through regularly. Advertise your event or networking group on Sydney Networker.net free of charge!

A note of Thanks

Hi,

Here's just a very brief 'note of thanks' for your support on yesterdays ride.

Kyah and I managed to make the whole distance into Wollongong safe and sound and we both had a blast along the way.

Thanks to contributions like yours we raised $355 and I believe there is more to come. Not a bad effort!

As a reminder, your money will be put to use by MS Australia to help current suffers of MS cope with the disease as well as funding research into a cure.

It's been quite an education. I didn'… Continue

Where are all the creative people?


It occurs to me there is a great divide, an ‘us’ and ‘them’ scenario, going on when we talk about ‘creative people’. By labeling certain people as ‘creative’ we are in fact excluding others.
Now I know that some people are more creative than others, and we should all be very glad of that, but… Continue

LinkedIn Secret: LinkedIn Helps To Increase the Ranking of Your Website In Search Engines

Time for another “LinkedIn Secret”: LinkedIn helps to increase the ranking of your websites in search engines.

To increase the chances for a [...]

Fundamental Principle of Networking 4: Quality versus Diversity

There are always many discussions about what is most important in networking: quality or quantity. In “Let’s Connect!” I wrote about this discussion. Since it is pretty fundamental I repeat it here and then discuss the strength of weak links. Actually the discussion is about a “wrong” topic. It is not quantity that is important, but [...]
