Relationship and Networking expert Keith Ferrazzi gives us 5 ways you can stay connected using social media. Check out the list below and see how you can put one or more of these ways to use today to help you grow your network and business!
1. The Good Samaritan: Scroll through your Facebook or LinkedIn wall and find two people you can help. Remember, it doesn’t have to be something big. Even a cheerful “hello” can be helpful some days. But you might be surprised how easy it is to find more specific opportunities to help when you go looking.
2. The Resume Builder I: Go to LinkedIn and write a recommendation for someone whose work you admire.
3. The Resume Builder II: Ask a former boss whom you know appreciated your work to write a recommendation for you. Let them know one great sentence is really all you need! (I guarantee you that nine times out of ten you’ll get more than just a sentence.)
4. The Positively Postal: Make list of people with birthdays and anniversaries in Feb or March. Buy cards, sign, stamp, and send. A month of goodwill created in less time than it would take to watch Law and Order!
5. The Conversation Starter: Leave a comment – or better yet, a question – on a blog post or status update that doesn’t yet have any comments. Or… why not…. Share your favorite relationship-building “mission” with the community here.
