Beyond Linkedin: Networking for Fun and LOTS Of Profit





Long before the internet came along,
I built my first company into a
6 figure business
with literally ZERO advertising budget,
by leveraging the power of
professional, organized
business networking groups.



3 times a week, at minimum, I attended a lunch or breakfast meeting, and sprinkled throughout the week, one-on-one meets for coffee with individual group members. It took time and effort, but it worked. Big time!


I eventually sold that company and moved to another state – and used the same process to start over again, in a new town where I knew absolutely no one. And BINGO! The process worked again.


And then along came the internet, and I took my offline business, merchant services, online, and this time, I added online networking resources, too. In a few short months, I was able to build up an international client base….and a 6 figure annual business that is still going 15 years later!


Listen up – because most people don’t get this…


Most people will try to tell you that all you need today is to just throw a bunch of money at FaceBook ads or slam out viral memes or hundreds of shoddy spun videos across social media and the money will just come rolling in.


Sorry, but it just ain’t happening
that easily for most of us.



The truth is that ‘free traffic’ is rarely free – there is always a cost in terms of money (buying ads) or time.


And this is where the power of ‘personal contact’ through business networking truly shines. Whether your business is online or offline, local or international, 30 minutes a day can produce results that will produce profits for years to come.


Trying to break out of your current J-O-B and turn that side hustle into a full time gig? Networking with other small business owners is the perfect, low key, low cost and effective way to gain credibility, and start building your brand before taking the plunge.


I know, because it is exactly what I did, and I have helped many others over the years do the same thing – time and time again!


But I already use Linkedin….



And so do I – along with a zillion other people in my industry. Linkedin is DEFINITELY the ‘Big Dog’, and that is both good and bad for us. It’s good because that means that there are LOTS of potential people there – it’s also bad because it’s getting tough to break through the noise.


It’s also become very expensive and restrictive on how you can promote your company and reach out to potential clients, and that pretty much defeats the entire purpose of being there in the first place!


I WAS a Linkedin power user, and was so used to getting great results there that I had become complacent, and let my other networking efforts fall by the wayside.


But then over the past year, for a variety of reasons, Linkedin’s effectiveness seemed to plummet for myself and others. Very much like the Google algo changes that affected SEO results in the past, I’ve seen my views drop, and more and more people are restricting contacts to the very expensive ‘inmail’ system.
