Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Blogging, etc. Everyone is in a hurry to connect with as many people as possible through various social media. But the best way to use online networking tools is in conjunction with off-line networking.
I’ve connected with some great people online, some of which I’ve still not met in person. And you can too. It just takes a bit more work to build a relationship entirely online. But some of my best advocates online are people I’ve met in person – either clients, or at an event or conference, or whatever.
Networking online is important, but make sure you also remember to reach out to people offline. Then, connect with them online too so you can keep the conversation going and continue to build the relationship. Online and offline networking work best as a team!
