Go to http://www.chamberofcommerce.com/public/index.cfm? and put in your city and state. That should bring up the Chamber of Commerce location closest to you. While joining the Chamber often entails a fee, there should be other information on your local Chamber website about free to the public events that are specifically designed for networking. Hope that Helps! Have you checked your local Chamber of Commerce website?

In today’s market, it’s a tool you cannot afford to ignore. LinkedIn lets you post your work experience in a familiar resume format, connect with and manage your professional contacts and promote your skill sets in real time. LinkedIn isn’t just for looking for the next job, it’s also about branding yourself with potential future employers and your professional peers within your industry. Interactive features allow your contacts to also post recommendations that can be seen be anyone who views your profile. I’ve been on LinkedIn for a couple of years now and use the site as a new rolodex, or a way to manage my professional contacts. It’s also helped me find out more about people I do business with, but there is so much more I could be doing. Join as many groups as you can, offcourse keeping in mind your area of developement. Search Groups of Marketing, Advertising, Networking and so on. Good Luck! One of the most important social media tools you can sign up for right now is LinkedIn.

Meeting people that are experts in mentoring new entrepreneurs to start a business is a great way to start. I also recommend you to read about what does it take to start a business. You don't need always to have the money yourself. You could partner other people who have the financial resources if you can show a convincing business plan where they can see when the business starts to make profits. Then you could offer part of the profits in exchange for their investment in your business. One of my favorite books that has helped me a lot is "Entrepreneurship 101" By Michael E. Gordon . I warmly recommend you it to read Wishing you big success Estani Chapel Hi

Most transactions and correspondence is done electronically. Put an email, website, and mobile number on there with some clever artwork. That should be sufficient. No one needs to know where you live. Plus... if you move, you won't have to reorder new cards! Take it off. Most transactions and correspondence is done electronically.

I only went to one, but I managed to network with 2 people I intend to maintain a relationship with. It sounds difficult, but when all of you are searching for business networking, it makes the process much easier. Best of luck! Hey,
