I’m relatively new to the blogging community but when I look at the more successful bloggers they have a very good support network of other bloggers who help them get there.

Just my 2 cents

Making a network is really important. But then there has to hormony between them. Bloggers face the same competition anger as any normal person in life do. Gaining trust is very important and that too slowly. Trying to get into someone fast can uproot you before you can even approrach

I see blogging as an essential part of any business. It does give any potential interested parties a great reference point. I myself would be more inclined to contact a business if they had a blog as well as their website. Purely because I’ve been able to find out more about them and have furthered my understanding of them and their business.

I’d like to recommend an online networking site http://www.bizmeed.com. With bizmeed you can actually have your own blog integrated on the site, instant message other businesses, form common interest groups and loads more. This is great for someone like me, as I can see relevant blogs all in one place and then directly contact them if I wish.

I hear what you’re saying about online networking websites and I agree with you to a certain extent. On the whole I find them too complicated, not user-friendly and they don’t offer what I want from a networking website. But nor do I want to spend silly amounts of time each week in another networking event with the same people. Using a site like Bizmeed, I can network at times which suit me and without the cheap cheese sandwiches.

At the risk of plugging Bizmeed too much, can I just point out one more great feature; you can promote your own offline events. So if you’ve built up a rapport with someone online, you can then continue this rapport at a face to face event/conference/seminar by inviting them through the site.

Finally, it’s great to read a well informed blog on blogging. There’s a lot of nonsense floating around the web which people naively grab onto, what a pleasant surprise to find chrisg.com.

It does seem that mixers are not as compelling as they once were made out to be – I certainly never felt that compelled in the first place

@Jack – I am going to finish off the series with some examples

@Mitch – deal

@everyone – let me know of any good examples of business blogs!

I’ve had a loooong career helping all my friends and coworkers retire early, and started to despair as I worried “does this only happen to me?”

So next time you are in NYC I owe you a pint, and then you can get me one; by then hopefully we will have worked up the courage together to get someone else to pay for dinner

Great series, and great resource. Original, helpful, and meaningful FLAGSHIP content.
