Create a social buzz online and offline for your business locally.

Yes, you can build locally, nationally and globally this way.

The best way to build a solid business is a combination of many different methods of reaching people.

Some things to keep in mind that we cover in depth on the show –

Find events. This can easily be done via social media groups and pages.

Go into the groups and pages of these events on Facebook, LinkedIn and Meetup.com and find the movers and shakers. These are the ones who plan, speak and network at these events. Show up early and know right away who to connect with.

Meet people live, and then find and friend them on Social Media.

Upload and tag photos with people in Attendance. One guy in my group takes a picture, checks us in and tags us all, putting our names and businesses out in front of tens of thousands of people potentially. Make sure you go back in and comment, engage, and share your self.

Support their businesses as much as possible.

Meet with people in one on one type coffee meetings so you can share even more about your business, including your opportunity details.

Don’t be a drive by networker – meaning you show up once, promote yourself and think that people are going to buy from you!
