hanks for the comment Barbara,

Credibility and trust are something that a lot of people seem to forget.

Building giant lists of people to sell to is pretty useless if they don’t trust you!

Cheers!

You hit on the one point that has been true ever since folks have been marketing online - trust and credibility will always win out over lists and flash.

It’s the unique personality and benefits that you bring to your audience that makes all the difference in the world.

Enjoy,

Barbara

Thanks Lin,

It’s definitely not about the numbers, and everyone has something to offer in the networking game. Those that misuse the concept are really the ones that lose out in the long run.

As I say, they thing that people need to promote in their networking is themselves, not a product. That comes later!

Cheers!

Allan, I really appreciate what you’re saying here, as so many people/bloggers seem to think the key to successful social networking is having a huge number of friends/fans/followers etc on social media.

If people or fellow bloggers are not able to really get to know you, build a more personal relationship with you, know who you are and what you represent on and off your blog, a large component of social networking is missing. It’s not about the numbers, it’s about the personal connection that is built over time. Good job!
