Artist Elise Boysaw: Top 5 Things I've Learned From Networkers ~ The Bad Ones

The Network

Network [net-wurk] n. - system of connections

For the purpose of this post a networker is an anyone who attempts to connect.

Each one of these points can easily be a single blogging subject but here is a summary what I have learned over the last nine months:

1. The 'networker' is everywhere - ALL the time.
It's one thing to have a presence but there is such thing as overkill too. You want to be accessible without being a turn off.

2. Everything is automated.
Hello? Is anyone there? There is a time and place for automation. Used correctly it can be a valuable and time-saving tool.

3. Do As I Say....Not As I Do.
Not all practice what they preach.

4. Me, Me, Me Syndrome.
It's ALL about them. How about sharing a new concept, or idea. Have a guest blogger that doesn't write about you. Share other people's content. Collaborate.

5. They are happy or positive all the time.
I am all about inspiration and motivation. But share with us a struggle or challenge. It just is another way to show your human side and as a result it cultivates trust.
