Grow Your Professional Network
I believe a professional network can benefit your business in several ways, like you receive feedback, get ideas for being successful entrepreneurs. So here are a few tips that I learn to build my professional network from many different platforms.
Making self-presence noticeable.
Yes, people should know what are you doing and what you have in your work or business, you can blog or comments or chat to make your presence visible to everyone.
Attend online or offline networking events.
You can attend the local meet-ups that you are interested, you can gain your knowledge, able to ask more questions and grow your networks with others in the same area. Also, give equality to all your online social network, the benefits come from all around, I see many people only utilizing only one social platform and forgot others and facing many difficulties to grow up or it takes more time, so rather struggling I believe utilizing all online platform help you a lot.
Don’t always take give as well.
Share your knowledge and expertise and offer to help everyone when you see an opportunity. Helping other people will often come back to you tenfold. Helping someone is going to give them extra incentive to return the favor.
Be a good listener person.
Don’t always try to dominate the conversation by talking about yourself - instead, listen to other people talk. First, people naturally love to talk about themselves, so if you can show that you are genuinely interested in what they have to say it will help to build that connection.
Never be afraid to ask.
This one is short and sweet — if you want something you can’t be afraid to ask for it.
Always think about long-term relationships.
Concentrate on forming long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial for both sides. Make a conscious effort to establish a two-way street for all of your professional connections.
Follow up with everyone you connect with.
if you promise to do something — do it. There is nothing worse than not following through with something you told someone you would do.

Hi Prashan,
Thank you for including me in your blog post. I think that it is a nice piece of work, for which your efforts must have been accounted for. I also presume that your next coming blog posts will get better and better. Next time, incorporate two more pictures in the post in order to bring in humor along with creativity. Anyway, you have done an excellent job; keep it coming!
Great!
