The Do’s and Don’ts of Today’s Business Networking
"Martin Zwilling: Have you heard about BNI (Business Network International)? It is the antidote to cold calls and email blasts! I see myself as an "social lone wolf," so your post is resonating to me in a big way. "Don’t do cold calls or email blasts of your resume and business plan to potential investors." "10 Dos and Don’ts for Being a Good Social Media Citizen
"Shawn, Good pointers. My take on this issue, is that the participants have to learn the meaning of being a "trader in matter & spirit." The social media citizen has free will and have to decide what to do with his / her time spent on a social media site. The community forum is evolving by its participants. You could probably apply the 80/20 rule on this phenomena too and find that it is a small group of individuals that is representing the most part of the content, comments, voting, etc. As one of the moderators of BizSugar, I spend a big part of my time online with "cleaning", i.e. getting rid of spam entries so the site will look good for the real participants. You have to stop the parasites, so the content creators could work on a productive marketplace. After I have removed spam entries, I go through valuable entries for me and then vote and comment on the stuff that I could add my two cents to the conversation. From time to time, I submit my own entries."10 Dos and Don’ts for Being a Good Social Media Citizen
"Yoni, Thank you for your input. I say that you have to understand the trader principle and create an exchange of ideas and stuff on a voluntarily basis. The guy that you mention could be well worth the 3000 votes according to my view, if his entries are valuable according to the supply and demand of this kind of material. But he should know that one day he could sit on the other side of the table... It is me talking as an experienced purchaser. ;)"Subscribe
