I firmly believe that no one can go it alone. There has to be community, networking and reciprocity. I commented on this in an article on my blog: http://elainelockard.com/2009/12/12/reciprocity-the-golden-rule-in-networking/ I also agree that a strategy is important. I just learned that lesson (lol) and am making my plans now. Thanks for the great information. I firmly believe that no one can go it alone. There has to be community, networking and reciprocity.

However, I have run my blog for my personal coaching practice now for several months and have recently set up a Twitter account and interestingly the Twitter account is growing faster than the blog account. People seem to prefer the snippets of news and updates rather than committing to reading a page of information. I haven't set up a facebook account for the business yet, but I am thinking about using it to create a forum for my clients. Best advice is, just have a go. It's quite straight forward to set up and don't forget to check out your blog numbers to see who is reading your page.

I'm very good at cherry-picking, so I'll probably end up listening to some but not all the contributors. Dave Hi again,

I don’t expect step-by-step, but I am getting to the point of feeling ready to take the plunge. I’m very good at cherry-picking, so I’ll probably end up listening to some but not all the contributors.

Yes often it's not about more information but making better sense of that you already have. Don't expect step-by-step next week - but I think it certainly will help clarify a few pointers.

So I decided, in true coaching style, to take it one step at a time, probably starting woth Twitter and Facebook. If I do that I'm sure I'll get my head around it sooner or later. I'm looking forward to the forthcoming week so I can get from the experts the best way to proceed. Dave Hello folks,

Going back to the city analogy, it's a bit like saying which networking group is best for me to go to? The online networks are like real life; it's a question of getting involved, knowing your objectives and then choosing if you like the company (and I think that depends on your own preferred communication style). For me, I like the creative types who have their own TV Channels at You Tube! Noel.

Personally I think the staggered rates at Aweber are a good thing; they coach you to keep a clean and highly targeted list. Subscribers then come to view you as a quality person too. Noel.
