Establish your blog and star networking today!

[neonix]

It's time to establish a blog, stupid!

I have strong feeling that everybody involved in this project should start his own blog and start to share with others things that he or she notice in his life.

You are the people who see more, hear more and taste more than other people. You have capability to see through things. And you should share this with others.

This can be somewhat mass brainstorm, without be located in one room. Because some people are to shy to write here in this forum about their discoveries, about the life and surrounding world. Some people don't have writing skills and can't present their thoughts in professional form but rather simple language. You don't have to be professional writer to establish own blog. But you have to encapsulate your thoughts in short form. Not to send somebody to sleep. People nowadays don't have to time to read your personal opinion. They want discovery, diagnose and eventually solution.

And then we all can read our blogs, and compare our discoveries, and teach with one another the things we discovered. On this forum people post only the most important infos, to not create information noise and the more trivial aspect of our lives are not discussed.

Laura said that they have everyday discussions in the kitchen. And I would like to know what you are discussing. Because when I read C's transcripts I feel that much of your networking discussions don't go outside the chateau, and many interesting ideas are not shared widely.

Here's example of my discoveries that i presented on my own blog:
Globalist want to addict humanity from rare earth elements
Polish authorities intensify pro vaccination campaign
Youtubers - the flood of false authority figures
Why UN don't want you to eat beef
Brussels don't want you to eat meet because cows produce too much CO2
Animal rights - straight way to introduce monopoly of synthetic meet
Free Internet in developed countries can be used as a tool for social engineering
Antisemitism and anti-islamism can be used for Internet censorship

It's time to start networking, stupid!

My marketing professor said: "Don't try to be interesting, try to interest on the topic."

In modern times people are divided to extreme level, but I discover that there's only one thing that bring people together - knowledge, brilliant ideas, simple tips, your own experiences, wise advices. Don't share your opinion, share solutions. People trust only those people who share their knowledge for free. This is the only way to gain trust and to test people, if they are egoistic or altruistic.

My Top 15 Networking Principles
by Scott Bradley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7NgyGn-cQE
My personal 15 networking principles that you can utilize online or offline or wherever you choose.

1. Be real and be transparent.
The more really are and the more open you are to explain who you are, the easier people will trust you and the better relationship you will build through time.
2. Be yourself.
"Be yourself, everyone else is taken".
Don't try to be someone you're not. Be your true self, people appreciate it
3. Have one true voice.
No matter how many mediums of communication that you use to communicate your brand or who you are, just make sure that amid all of those channels that has the same message about who you are, what you do, how you can help people and further, what value you will bring.
4. Realize that you can't make everyone love you.
If you only hang out with the people wanna hang out with you, you'll be ten times better off.
5. Integrity always.
Do what you say you are going to do. If you can't do something let someone know.
Don't give them the false expectation that you're going to get something done if you don't.
6. Look to help people before asking for help.
Whether you're on social networking sites, at a networking group, look to always help other people first. So when you go up and ask them, hey I need some help with this, they will be more than happy to help you if you initially help them first.
7. Share cool things with your contacts.
This will strengthen the relationship between you and your contacts and further help you build strong relationships that last a lifetime.
8. Continually and actively reach out to other people that you wanna get to know.
9. Get social.
Share great things with your network on the social networking sites. Be social, we are social beings.
10. Know your target.
It is extremely easy to find these different types of people on social networking sites.
11. Know your strategy.
If you stayed focus. If you know what you want, if you know who you want to speak with, you will be a success.
12. Establish a blog.
Through blogging I admit some of the most innovative people and it builds great relationships that lead to brand new opportunities that I never thought possible. What is it that you're passionate about, that you want to speak about and share with other people? So therefore they will trust you and build great relationships with you in the future. It's amazing.
13. Meet offline.
Take these relationship offline, so you can build even more trust with them.
14. Position yourself correctly.
Be on this social sites, they are a wealth of amazing people. Know how people are gonna find you. Give people different ways to digest your content through videos, through blog posts through comments.
15. Read books and blogs about networking.
Learn how to build better relationships with people. Learn what to say, how to say it, when to say it.

Networking Basics - 5 Tips On How To Network - Networking Fundamentals For Beginners
by Jeff Klubeck
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uGUXiPnT24

1. Think about where you wanna be, where you go, who are the people you wanna talk to, who the people you wanna help, where do they go.
2. Determine your goals.
What are you networking? Why is it important? What are you open to get something out of it? Helping others that's my goal when I go out networking. I know that I'm get everything I want if I'm focus on helping others. And I'm not gonna be able to figure this out unless I learn more about them.
3. Know what you will ask people. What they exited about.
4. Know what you will answer.
It's not net-sitting, it's not net-eating its net-working. It's important for you to see it as work, as effort. You have to put an effort in it. It is gonna require though and discipline.
5. Have a pen with you. Write little note.
6. Fallow up. You need to contact people.

8 Principles of Networking Naturally
by Carol Ross
http://www.today.mccombs.utexas.edu/2010/02/8-principles-of-networking-naturally
For some people, networking can feel uncomfortable and contrived, and even cause social paralysis (also known as being “tongue-tied”). For others, just the thought of an upcoming networking event can produce an inordinate amount of stress. Ever notice the lucky few who seem so at ease with networking that it’s no different than driving to the grocery store for a carton of milk? Why the difference? And is it possible to learn to network so that it feels more natural? While successful networkers each have their own style, the most effective networkers I’ve seen follow the same underlying principles. They may not be conscious of these principles, but nevertheless, they use these principles to guide their behavior.

1) Successful networkers are relationship-based, not transaction-based. Networking requires an investment in time and effort to create long-term relationships.

2) Successful networkers have a genuine interest in people, as people. They see past an impressive title, powerful position, or profitable business opportunity and spend time getting to know the whole person from that person’s interests outside of work to what books she likes to read to who she is as a parent.
3) Successful networkers listen more than talk. They are curious and prefer to learn about the other person before saying much about themselves.

4) Successful networkers offer up value before asking for anything. They give without strings attached and are confident in their ability to give. They interact with others from a mindset of “How can I help you?” yet also know their boundaries in order to avoid burning out.

5) Successful networkers know that networking happens anywhere, anytime, not just at “networking events.” Networking can happen at the dog park or in the dentist’s office just as easily as at an industry conference or social gathering.

6) Starting out, successful networkers treat everyone equally. They see individuals not as “more than” or “less than“ but rather “better at” or “worse at” different things. They don’t let egos get in the way of connecting with others. Likewise, they are not afraid to approach people as people, independent of their positions of authority or stature in society.

7) Successful networkers focus on building trust. They keep their word, act with integrity, and treat the relationship with care. They create trust by being authentic and trustworthy.

8) Successful networkers are gracious. They give others the benefit of the doubt and don’t take things personally. They are sensitive about making the other person uncomfortable.

These eight principles may sound like a lot more than networking. That’s because successful networking requires each of us to be the type of person that we would want to meet: someone with a generous spirit, an open mind, and an authentic voice. Practice all eight of these principles (yes, it only works if you put them into action!) and watch how developing mutually beneficial relationships enriches every part of your life.

10 important principles for effective networking
Written by Arabela Turuta
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/10-important-principles-effective-networking-arabela-chideuciuc

Brief pointers and tips are shown alongside each networking opportunity.
Conferences
Conferences are full of people with common interests. Coffee breaks are an ideal time to make introductions.
Website forums
Website forums exist for every subject you can think of. Each offers a networking opportunity for the subject matter concerned.
Website user groups
User groups are a further variation of groups found online. User groups are typically within the websites of major internet corporations such as Google and Yahoo. Many user groups are highly specialised, and by implication, internet networking is second-nature to most of these people.
Community social websites
Facebook is the obvious example. There are many others. Culture and demographic profile are different in each. Some of these websites and memberships are vast. Bigger than countries. This is because of the social aspect, which might initially be appealing, but making a business impact can be very challenging due to the scale of these operations.
Lectures and talks
Lectures and talks occur widely, held or promoted by various organizations for all sorts of purposes. Obviously a lecture/talk will attract a common grouping of people interested in the subject concerned.
Conventions
Conventions are organized for all sorts of special interest groups. If the group is relevant to your aims in any way, then their convention could offer excellent networking opportunities.

Ten essential principles
1. Describe yourself concisely and impressively.
2. Differentiate yourself. Aim high. Be best at something.
3. Help others and you will be helped.
4. Integrity, trust and reputation are vital for networking.
5. Groups and contacts relevant to your aims and capabilities.
6. Plan your networking - and know what you want.
7. Following up meetings and referrals makes things happen.
8. Be a positive influence on everyone and everything.
9. Be focused - and ever-ready.
10. Being balanced and grounded builds assurance.

The Principles of Effective and Effortless Networking
by Astrid Baumgardner
http://astridbaumgardner.com/articles/10-articles/37-the-principles-of-effective-and-effortless-networking.html
(via google cache)

1. Prepare
Before you attend any networking event, it helps to do your homework!
Decide on your goal. One goal is to target specific people whom you want to meet. Another goal might be to connect with a specific number of new people or to learn specific information. Come with a positive attitude. By thinking about networking in terms of connecting and sharing and helping other people rather than selling, this will go a long way to dispelling your fears.
2. Connect
Start with someone safe, perhaps a friend or someone whom you have previously met. The more specific you can be about what you admire about this person, the more likely you are to continue the conversation. Find areas of common interest, ask questions, listen and show genuine interest in that person. You are not going to connect with every person you meet. In fact, some people are simply not receptive to networking.
3. Share
Provide information and/or share contacts that could be interesting, relevant or useful to the person whom you are speaking with. If you feel that you have made a nice connection and you see an opening, tell the person something about yourself. It helps to have your Elevator Speech ready. Above all, be authentic and be yourself!
4. Be Relevant
Once you have made a connection with someone whom you would like to stay in touch with, ask the person if you can contact him or her again. Be sure to follow-up with everyone whom you made a connection with. Send out written thank-you notes to everyone who helps you. Keep the person informed about what you are doing.
And what if your efforts fall flat? Move on. Figure out what part of your approach did not work and try something new the next time. Networking takes practice so the more you do it, the better you will get!

10 Principles of Effective Networking
Marc Andre
http://profitblitz.com/principles-of-effective-networking/
When it comes to building a successful blog the most common piece of advice is to focus on the quality of your content. Content is obviously important, but from my experience, networking is equally important.

Both content and a network are essential for blogging success, and they are the top two factors that determine which bloggers are successful. With that in mind, building a strong network should be a priority for every blogger.
Having a strong network can help you with getting advice from successful people, getting more links to your site, increasing exposure through social media sharing, opening up new money-making opportunities, helping to promote your products, and so much more.

In this post we’ll take a look at 10 essential principles of networking, and action steps that you can put into practice starting today.
1. Give More Than You Get
Many people that want to build their network are only motivated by what they can get out of their network, rather than focusing on how they can help others.
2. Be Genuine
It’s important to be genuine in your networking efforts, and really make an effort to get to know the people that you want to connect with.
3. Be Proactive
4. Take a Long-Term Approach
Building a successful business, takes time.
5. Prioritize Quality Over Quantity
6. Don’t Focus Only on Industry Leaders
My preferred approach is to start smaller and connect with others who are at a similar stage in their blogging as you.
7. Be Approachable
It’s also important that others are able to easily reach out to you.
8. Set Aside Time for Networking
The best way to be sure that networking will not be overshadowed by other tasks is to set aside time in your schedule.
9. Be Organized
10. Network in Person, When Possible
Make an effort to meet people in person. There are all kinds of conferences, seminars, and events.

The Top 4 Networking Principles For Your Video Production Company
by Matt
http://filmlifestyle.com/networking-principles/

1) Reputation
The first principle of network marketing is to uphold your reputation.
2) Allies Not Enemies
Some industries foster relationships with each other better than others.
3) Quantity
You need to avoid situations where you’re obviously getting the bad end, even if you’re desperate for business.
4) Mingle
Finally, the key to both finding clients organically and finding video companies to ally with, is to get out of the house. You can’t successfully network entirely from your office. You need to be mindful of meet-ups, industry events and cocktail parties.

(Polish lanuage)

Principles of wise networking according to Jean-Pierrem Deru

Conclusions from the workshop of Jean-Pierre Deru

Rule No. 1
If you give a lot, invest a lot - you get a lot in return. When cooperating with others you encounter with the logic of others, you learn the know-how, share ideas (including those for problem solving) and in this way you can on a regular basis to improve the functioning of your organization. But beware - the so-called. good practices is needed critical eye, not to duplicate schemes, but just look at it with always a fresh eye. Not all solutions can be carried over to a new ground.

Rule No. 2
Networking allows you to find and select partners for projects. Not by chance, but consciously, on the basis of actual contacts, meetings, insight into what others are doing. It's a great method of cultural cooperation.

Rule No. 3
To networking makes sense, the organization must clearly set goals, must have a strategy, forward-thinking. In the long run you can not work spontaneously. The organization requires deliberate management.

Rule No. 4
It is worth to communicate with other NGOs already at the stage of reinventing the project.

Rule No. 5
Languages! Knowing of at least five languages is crucial. Of course, the point is not that to be fluent in all, but about an open attitude, which is also manifested in language learning. Sometimes, knowledge of basic phrases and rules of communication in a given country or culture, can affect the cooperation between organizations on the project. For example, it makes no sense to call our sister organization in Italy at 15, when lasts just an afternoon siesta. The second example is the understanding of the concepts of the German "rasch" can mean something radically different from the Spanish "rápido", despite the fact that both words when translated means "fast". It is not about nurturing stereotypes of specific culture, but aware of its specifics and a skillful develop methods of communication and effective cooperation. It can be done!

Rule No. 6
When several organizations decided to collaborate on the project, it is necessary to define precise the responsibilities of each of them. The best work on the principle of complementarity "services" - everyone do, what is best at, and most experienced. The division of competence can be carried out at the stage of seeking partners.

Rule No. 7
When joining to an existing network or in the formation of new, you need to be aware of their own resources, capabilities and limitations.

Rule No. 8
The initial step of forming a network is often informal, but further steps should be formalized.

Rule No. 9
The principle of struggle and activity! We do not complain about the problems, but we solve them. Hitting an obstacle we not give up, just trying to remove it. Passivity perpetuates the flawed status quo.

Rule No 10
If you are afraid of risk, if you do not want to share with others - do not bother networking.

Compiled by Agnieszka Słodownik

About Rule No. 8. There's always a risk of being infiltrate by disruptive individuals. An informal structures are less susceptible.

Who is Jean-Pierre Deru?

Hi neonix. I am having some problems trying to understand the context (and content) of your post. At first sight the tenor of your words sounds to me rude (I wonder why you head up your text with "It's time to establish a blog, stupid!") and demanding.

Besides I do not agree almost nothing what you say.

It's time to establish a blog, stupid!

I have strong feeling that everybody involved in this project should start his own blog and start to share with others things that he or she notice in his life.

You are the people who see more, hear more and taste more than other people. You have capability to see through things. And you should share this with others.

I do not think that every body should have a blog; should have a blog just people that choose use this mode to share, every one should choose their own. Your "strong feeling" that all the people here must have a blog is just that, your strong feeling. Maybe many here can see more, but the strength of what we can see lies precisely in networking about what we can see. Of course we can share what we learn, but the way is totaly personal. A blog is a individual way of communicating. I do not think that it is bad, but IMO sharing here have huge benefits and less risk (I think that bloggers many times develop a disproportionate ego without wise feedback).

This can be somewhat mass brainstorm, without be located in one room. Because some people are to shy to write here in this forum about their discoveries, about the life and surrounding world. Some people don't have writing skills and can't present their thoughts in professional form but rather simple language. You don't have to be professional writer to establish own blog. But you have to encapsulate your thoughts in short form. Not to send somebody to sleep. People nowadays don't have to time to read your personal opinion. They want discovery, diagnose and eventually solution.

Well, I see all this a little bit different. It is not so important what people want but what people need. This world are full of sellers of snake oil that offer all types of solutions, and also full of people that is lazy (they are asleep) and love easy fix for their problems. IMO share humbly our knowledge and what we discover is good, but chewing and digesting this knowledge to give to others wrapped for gift is a different matter. For awakening people need to use their intelectual and emotional skills, they are like a atrophied muscles. I don't see any benefit on serve it all on a silver platter.

And then we all can read our blogs, and compare our discoveries, and teach with one another the things we discovered. On this forum people post only the most important infos, to not create information noise and the more trivial aspect of our lives are not discussed.

This particular idea seems to me impractical, redundant, and unproductive. You say that we should have blogs to write our "wisdom" and then everybody here should read every post from every blog from every member... This is just crazy IMHO!.

Laura said that they have everyday discussions in the kitchen. And I would like to know what you are discussing. Because when I read C's transcripts I feel that much of your networking discussions don't go outside the chateau, and many interesting ideas are not shared widely.

I guess that Laura (and the chateau crew) share what they think that is appropriate in the way that they feel that is suitable. This statement seems to me disrespectful and sounds like a demanding attitude.

My marketing professor said: "Don't try to be interesting, try to interest on the topic."

Have you a marketing professor? Are you studing marketing?... IMO you need reveiw all your lessons again because I feel that you do not have a good way of communicate, and communications is one of the keys in marketing (or at least I think so).

In modern times people are divided to extreme level, but I discover that there's only one thing that bring people together - knowledge, brilliant ideas, simple tips, your own experiences, wise advices. Don't share your opinion, share solutions. People trust only those people who share their knowledge for free. This is the only way to gain trust and to test people, if they are egoistic or altruistic.

Finally this statement is IMO totally subjective. I do not think that the only thing will be what you say, in fact I think that it is a simplistic analysis of the matter. About give solutions to people, you know my opinion... and about people trusting... mmm, I'm sorry but you use the term "the only" again (2 times on the same paragraph) and this is a red flags to me and make me feel a little mistrustful.

The Power of Networking and Finding a Mentor
by Craig Ballantyne
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTynwDW_SL0

[1:10]
Set a Goal
Make It Known
Start Taking Action Toward It
Allow Other People to Help You
[1:20]
Power in networking comes from surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals.
Need to spend time with positive people and minimize the amount of time you spend with negative people and energy vampires. The ones who suck the dreams and life right out you.
[3:05]
Big corporations and even the government are too busy looking out for themselves those days, to be looking out of you. So where can you turn for advice? Frankly we believe the financial media is not the place to go for serious advice. It is foolish to go by what The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, and other mainstream media outlets tell you.

90–9–1 rule
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule_%28Internet_culture%29

Using the Internet is in some way a networking. But what about real life. Does 90-9-1 rule relate to real life networking? I believe so.

When you meet 100 people, probably only 10 people will be interesting in networking with you, and only 1 person will help you in the future. This shows that networking in not an easy task, and you need many years to get expected results.

So for those of you that are bothered that 90% of your community is made up of Lurkers, remember – it’s not the amount of engagement you get, or the number of people engaging with you – its the quality of those engagements, and the quality of your connections. It is much more useful for you and your brand to be connected with someone important – and industry leader, guru or specialist – who has insightful, thought provoking, useful things to say, rather than to 25 nobody’s who Tweet about their 7 am bowl of Cheerios. Social Networking is all about quality, not quantity. Take the 90-9-1 rule for what it is, and get the most out of your engagements.

Great advice! :) :) :)

I do agree that people wishing to fight this bizarre, globalist agenda need to unite or network more effectively and become more of a united front.

The danger is falling in the same trap "social justice warriors" have fallen into by either adopting their tactics (such as bullying or doxxing or censorship) or more dangerous, building up personalities who then (the human ego and herd behaviour being what it is) turn into cults of personality or demagogues.

It is as if we are up against a hivemind and the challenge is for people to hold onto their individual beliefs whilst going up against this borg-like manifestation that seems to have invaded most of mainstream media, most educational institutions, most of the 'gate keepers' and much social media particularly Facebook and Twitter.

We need to join up with others who are 'awake' not 'woke'.

Having studied the media in University (as well as worked in the media, grew up reading books on propaganda) I really do see a relatively narrow window in which this can be accomplished. I'm actually surprised the internet has managed to be a free-for-all as long as it has. Although in hindsight it did take a decade or so of intense lobbying by corporate interests (and then War) for radio to be controlled. Most people don't realize now that at one point in history radio functioned much like the internet in that people with two-way radios could chat with total strangers anywhere within range. Worth reading up on, although I no longer can think of any particular book to recommend.

Also, I need to blog more. It's been several months now

How to Boost Your Karma
http://www.wikihow.com/Boost-Your-Karma

This article tells you how to boost your positive karma in life. Good Karma is the belief that if you do something good, good things will happen to you.

1. Smile. Smiling makes people feel good about themselves and makes your workplace, school or home a more positive environment.
2. Help in little ways. Like, for example, holding the door open for someone behind you or picking up a dropped pencil.
3. Do the right thing even when no one is looking. They may not know, but karma always knows.
4. Donate to charity tins. You know, those tins at the cashier that donate to the children's hospital and such? Think of all the good that money does. If everyone donated their spare change to charity tins, the world would be a better place.
5. Take time to talk to different generations. Older and younger people know lots of cool stuff you probably don't, and you'll make them feel good too.
6. Recycle. You've seen that commercial. You can take them into most stores and they'll give you 5 cents a pop can. You can even give that money to a charity tin! Two good deeds in one day. Doesn't that make you feel better?
7. Listen. When people talk about their problems, it makes them feel better. Don't offer advice. Don't give opinions. Just listen.
8. Little things help a lot. If you simply say hello to that shy girl at the back of the class, if you are kind to those you aren't a huge fan of, if you let someone use some of your lunch money and not ask the next day for the money you lent, if you're at the store and see a $0.50 pin your friend would like and buy it: These are the things that help make you a good person. Not only will you get karma points, but you will have a better reputation.
9. Give compliments. It's like smiling with your voice. It makes people feel better and more confident. But don't just compliment - be thoughtful in finding something you truly appreciate or adore, and mean what you say.
10. Relax. Stress and tension can lead to illness - it's a proven fact. Relax, and acknowledge why your life is wonderful.
11. Love. Love life, love friends, love family, love yourself. Love makes the world go 'round.
12. Wisdom. Search for Wisdom. Through wisdom you make better decisions. Great decisions lead to great outcomes and thus an awesome life.

Tips
Don't give up. A lot of people who read this give up. Well don't, good karma is alive. You just have to believe.
Humor, nine times out of ten times humor makes people laugh, which improves the quality of your relationships and that's good karma, too.
Doing something you know is wrong can lead to guilt and bad karma. So don't do it. Just go with the flow, man.
Start a regular routine of goodness, such as bringing some food to work for everyone to enjoy.

Networking (John Naisbitt MegaTrends)

3:14 Networking is a generative process. The linking of information creates new knowledge. In an network environment rewards come by empowering others, not by climbing over them. And as networking expands leaving managers will restructure their businesses in to smaller, and smaller units. More decentralized and more participatory. And they will create small groups of talented people who will govern their own work environment and will produce impressive results.
