Ideas To Help Our Business And Each Other

[Jeannine Dombrowski]

Is there anyway we can come up with ideas on how we all can help each other?....Perhaps advertise another members business on your site...Perhaps they can do the same. Or you could include another members advertisement in on of your newsletters. I mean all of us should be able to come up with something to help ourselves and each other..Right?...What do you think?

I've been trying to support other people by joining in on the chatroom parties. I have made some purchases. I believe that if we start exchanging products and giving each other business, we'll be more apt to refer others to each other. I have an online party going on right now for Suzzette Drake. I would very much like to encourage others to make a purchase and help her earn some free gifts. To date, however, I have been the only one to support her party. I have also been inviting my friends to join the sites I belong to so that they may get to know and support some other businesses. Developing a strong social network is also very crucial in building up business. It's all about helping others. I've offered freebies, too. I'm at a little bit of a loss to know what to try next so all ideas are welcome! Sincerely, Rosie

I've been joining in on a lot of online parties. I've also been supporting others by purchasing products. I have purchased from at least half a dozen people through online chats. I wish someone would support me by opening an online Tupperware party and having it be successful. I've had 2 ladies try so far, but no one has supported either. Any other suggestions I could do to help or get help? Please comment!

I am keenly interested in networking and collaboration, Jeannine. This is the plan that I have adopted.

1. Investigate. If I like what a person has to say, I look at their website(s). If I feel comfortable with the appearance and content of their site, I make comments if it is a blog, subscribe, and follow. If their site is a blog with consistently outstanding marketing information, I add them to my blog roll.
2. Find opportunities to comment and recommend. Online presence doesn’t just occur on static websites and blogs. If I know you’ve posted an article to a social site we both belong to, I will also provide a comment there. The same is true for ezineArticles, Squidoo, Sphinn, Hubpages and openzine.
3. Product recommendations. I have shared my ebook with others in exchange for a testimonial or article recommendation. If your product is in my niche, I am willing to do the same for yours.
4. I sometimes spotlight specific online marketers on my blog and have spotlighted startups on my website.

This kind of collaboration is the best way of getting our message found.
