Broadcast Networking
Networking is the process of building strong mutually-beneficial relationships. In order to do that, we need to meet people. There are some interesting ways to do that, which I call “broadcast networking”- telling as many people as you can about you in a non-threatening, professional way. Here are some ideas:
1. Use community bulletin boards at local stores. These can be used to post your business card, lead requests , requests for help, for sale items, help wanted..all sorts of things that get your name out to the public.
2. Join organizations- and not just business ones. You can meet a lot of people through civic groups, religious groups, social groups, Fraternities, and other none business groups. Remember with these groups, you need to give first, before you can take.
3. Use the media- Press releases and news stories are great exposure. And don’t forget the non-business releases and stories you could post. These also serve to get your name out there.
4. Family and friends - These people can be great help by asking “who do you know” questions… Who do you know that lives in this neighborhood? Who do you know that’s a printer? Who do you know that’s looking for a babysitter? Who do you know?
Broadcasting your wants and needs is called “all out massive action”. Through this action you can narrow down the field of persons you wish to build stronger relationships with.

Yellow Page Advertising Tip
Some businesses find they really NEED to advertise in the Yellow Pages along with their networking efforts. I have found it most effective if you can put your ad in a couple of different categories. I try very hard to help my clients create their own new category - one not yet listed in the Yellow Pages (But still a heading people would search for). If they do, they have no competition listed in that category - at least for the first year.

More Ideas On Protecting Your Intellectual Property Online
Scott Simmerman wrote to me after publishing my three-part series on “Protecting Your Intellectual Property Online.” Scott sent in some further ideas on helping to preserve your copyright online…
Nancy -
Since lots of us have CD burners, instead of printing massive quantities of paper you could simply put it on a CD. You cans end it to someone, etc. These permanent CD images are apparently acceptable for insurance and other record keeping purposes these days. Maybe do a “Time stamp” off the official atomic clock.
Another “saving possibility” is to compress the entire site and save it on the same server as a “backup” and an archive and would be dated by the server software, thus having a compression date on it
Keep up the good work,
