Networking with Fellow Wealthy Affiliates
Everybody knows the importance of networking in general. But why is it so important to network online? In this blog post, I want to discuss why you should be connecting with people in your same niche by joining a community and why Wealthy Affiliate's platform is an excellent place for that.
One awesome place to network is Jay's weekly training videos can help keep your motivation strong!
Meeting new people can be an uphill battle, but it's worth the effort. When you're in a group with like-minded individuals such as WA, not only are you able to find some friends that share your interests and life experiences, there is also plenty of advice or support available for whatever challenges may come up along the way.
Networking events like live videos and training opportunities where professionals from various industries gather together. We all have similar goals as each other for online success - what could make this easier?
The benefits of human connection
Business is huge. You're more likely to get feedback on your products or services, you can form strategic partnerships and collaborations with other like-minded people in the same niche, and you might even be able to find someone that has an idea for a product that they want to develop for themselves but could also help drive sales of your own products!
Human connection is why we have social media, why people go to church or synagogue and why they meet up with friends at the coffee shop. We need a sense of community!
The most important part of social networking is making friends, which can be done through WA. It's probably not something you think about but when you make a new friend and then they start to share their thoughts with you it is like Christmas morning for your brain.
Networking makes 2 people happy!
You're walking through the halls of a building and you see someone who looks like they are having trouble. You approach them and ask if they need help, but that's when it hits you - this person was waiting for an elevator!
You may not have noticed because they had such an awkward way of standing there with their shoulders slumped forward. It turns out that this person has been waiting in line for 20 minutes just trying to get into the building- at least it seemed like that long from where he or she stood. So now instead of helping one other person, you're making two people happy!
Wealthy Affiliate Networking
At Wealthy Affiliate, we promote all types of networking - between members, with our team, and even with guest bloggers like myself! That last one might seem odd but I'm going to tell you why there are benefits of human connection for your business too.
Just like when someone suggests a book or tells us about their experience visiting somewhere new we want to hear from other people what they think as well. You get feedback on blogs that you write here
So in all of these cases - the benefits of networking are huge! It can help you with everything from customer service (so that when something goes wrong you know who your customers will go to) to building relationships for future collaborations and partnerships. You never know when it might come in handy
Carefully Connect
These days our lives are all about networking and connecting. Think about it, we have review sites, people buy from Amazon and they use Yelp to find a restaurant. People want honest feedback on products or services before they're willing to commit.
Just like anything else, there is always some risk involved so be sure not to blindly trust anyone person online because you don't really know them but I think most people would agree that those risks are worth taking if the rewards are high enough.
Final Words
When I found this site, it was as if everything clicked. It's not just the best place for ongoing training and connections with others who understand what we're all struggling to do here-it is also a true social network where you can truly find friends and allies in any part of your journey. Thank You
We hope these reasons will inspire you to start building your connections now!
