People do business with people.......

They know like and trust! One of the first steps towards developing that trust is familiarity. Whether off-line or online the process is the same.

1. Show up regularly-
If you belong to a networking group show up on time every time. This is your business. This is important. If you are developing online business the process is the same. Show up at the same places regularly. If you have a blog make sure you post weekly or daily whatever you choose. If you belong to a group make sure that you contribute on a regular basis. Consistency is the key! People will begin to connect with you and your message and eventually they will want more!

2. Make it all about the other person. This is not about self promotion. Comment on others posts online. Make sure your comments are always positive. Offer tips and suggestions that will compliment the writer. If you network right and you regularly give back you will not have to promote yourself at all. Others will gladly do that for you.

3. Showcase your business. Offer advice, helpful tips and anything that might shine a light on who you are and what you do. This will draw people to your website for more information about what you do.
