Ah.LinkedIn..the one we love to hate? I’ve been on LinkedIn forever and it seems that some things never change…What am I talking about? I’m pretty open about who I accept on LinkedIn that is until you do one of the things that is my biggest pet peeve.
What is that you ask? The “pitch” email one second after we’ve connected! Why? Why do people insist on doing this? Instead, why not try to actually work on networking?!
There are still 60 days left in the year to finish one last project and that’s why we are running YESvember again this year.
YESvember is a free 21 day challenge designed to help you finish that last project off strong and connect with others doing the same. Come join here http://www.thrivehivelive.com/yes
Why should I pay to join an online community when there are tons of free ones? This is a question I get a lot especially since I run a paid community.
When you pay to join a community, there is some skin in the game and chances are you are going to show up more often, collaborate and get to know people.
The tendency with free communities is to have a lot more “lurkers“, or people who join but never participate or simply only show up when it’s time to promote themselves. It really depends on how well they are moderated.
In my experience with paid communities, you get people who are more committed and you get to build real relationships.

This week I’m tackling the topic of comparisionitis and how to break free of it and focus on your own business.
It’s so easy to get caught up and look at what other people are doing online and social media- how do you keep this in check?

Natalie Cutler-Welsh of Go To Girl Social Media and Networking joins me today to talk about online networking and how to make the most of it.
We talk about profile pics (and how they should look like the current you and not the 10 years ago you), following up with contacts you meet both online and offline with a contact management system (and not just adding them to your email list) and more!
Tweet me @SandySidhu #BusinessIgnite and let me know how you are going to up your game online.
