Getting your message out there
One of your main objectives when it comes to your business is how you will successfully tell people about you and your business.

The face-to-face interaction will bring your relationship to a deeper level and you will see that your business associations will be even more successful and more meaningful.
Online relationships
Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are three excellent social media channels with which to start your online interactions. Many people are not aware of how much there is to the various social media channels. There is much more to them than creating profiles, updating your status periodically, and posting a comment or saying that you “Like” something that one of your connections has posted. There are many groups offered (in a huge number of niches) on each channel and you can be a part of them and be a serious contributor to each group. That is precisely how you successfully start to form relationships and start to build your connections. For example, LinkedIn will allow you to join 50 different groups. If you are committed to becoming a regular contributor to those groups, people will get to know you and will trust you and find you credible. Once you have established that sort of relationship, you and your business will be top of mind for them when they need what you are selling.
