Try to make a networking strategy and follow it, of how to fire and hire each communal interlocking moment. |
A professional Network should be lean, inspiring and morale boosting. You can't work more hours in the work of the net. This is a means to help be specific those who to spend the time with.
Is the network Realistic? Enjoyable and Flexible. Ref it by Eric Helms, He used this for exercise schedules, yet it applies for networking schedules.
Realistic: Can you fit it within your schedule without exhausting you out? Optimalism ain't the point here.
Enjoyable: Are the meetings a burden and lower ones status rather than curating it higher? You may have to check response rates and go through them with a fine-toothed comb. These are response rate simulators for the advertisers who have no oversight.
Flexible: Do they miss you when you're gone and don't direct message? Treating their time and attention as a valuable resource. At any time.
There is another U to add to the acronym, U is to be useful. To have the mutually beneficial business relationship for fundraising reasons. This is the most important one to keep your business mission close to supporting your creative endeavors.
It's important to have that for the network to financially support you, not have it looks like a spider's trap of MLM, or a ponzi scheme.
Whats a useful network?
Herschel Gordon Lewis Celebrity rules apply to any of the network usefulness. To help you manage to direct response necessary for it. To campaign for paying clients. Be who to prospect and rely on.
It's also successful advertising that can reach the most amount of people who are willing to buy. At the least amount of resources. (Time, attention, and funds)

Even then, the large numbers may not lead towards more of a direct response. That pesky only measurable form of marketing!
