CEOWORD.BIZ continues to grow. This is such a beneficial tool for online networking, and I continue to use it for strictly business use. Even though CEOWORD.BIZ is a business networking portal I am constantly amazed by the number of people who just sign up and then do almost nothing else except occasionally accepting and invitation. So here are some quick and painless ways to be increase the efficiency of you CEOWORD.BIZ Business network.

If you do not yet have a profile, it’s worthwhile to review the components of a complete one. These include:

Step 1: Sign up and Fill out your Profile.

The more complete your profile, the easier it will be for people to find you and more information you put in there the more likely people will begin to connect to you. Make sure to include your previous jobs, your education history and upload a photo of yourself.

Step 2: Find contacts who are already on CEOWORD.BIZ.

Upload your contacts lists into ceoworld.biz. This achieves two this firstly it allows you to see who from your Contacts are already on ceoworld.biz, as well as those who aren’t so that you can invite them to join and connect with you.

Step 3: Add startups at startups exchange. And solicit you listing ask for people to vote for it.

The more vote and listing you give the more likely it is that people will contact you. Also ask clients to vote for your listing as well.

Step 4: Utilise the ceoworld.biz blog section.

Again this area is a very useful way for you to get noticed, increase your connections and find answers to questions that you might have as well.

Step 5: Join or create ceoworld.biz Groups.

Create some groups, they can either based around your business or common interests or locations, again it make it more likely for you to be able to connect with others.

Step 6: Add you picture

Step 7: Keep in mind that networking is about being genuine and authentic, building trust and relationships, and seeing how you can help others.

Step 7: Visit as many groups as possible that spark your interest. Notice the tone and attitude of the group. Do the people sound supportive of one another? Does the leadership appear competent? Many groups will allow you to visit two times before joining.

Step 8: Become known as a powerful resource for others. When you are known as a strong resource, people remember to turn to you for suggestions, ideas, names of other people, etc. This keeps you visible to them.

Step 9: Be able to articulate what you are looking for and how others may help you. Too often people in conversations ask, “How may I help you?” and no immediate answer comes to mind.

Step 10: Publish your content. If you have created items like blog posts “post” this information to your blog. Think of your ceoworld.biz profile as a quick way for a potential partner, researcher, employer or customer to get a “view” of what kind of person you are. The publishing aspect of ceoworld.biz offers another avenue for you to demonstrate your expertise.
