Rather resourceful and well written out… Kam seems to have a thorough idea of how SEO revolutionizes our e-presence.

thanks for the encouraging posts about blogging. I just started a Healthy Coffee biz and was looking for ways to meet new people and share my biz. A blog sounds like a good thing. Can you tell me where I can go to get a free blog that is user friendly as I am very new to all this. Thanks so much.

I can attest to the fact that when promoting online programs, the only signups I ever got were when I called and spoke with people. Actual networking. People do not respond to ads. Even websites and blogs require some human interaton. The internet is so full of everything, people are blind to them, and ignore them. And, I appreciate you sharing your ideas.

[...] Thanks to Sethâ€™s honest and open sharing, I got to thinking about networking. And how sometimes we forget those folks we already have a solid relationship with. Itâ€™s as if weâ€™ve already â€œhooked â€˜emâ€ so to speak. But if weâ€™re in the business of â€œwooingâ€ â€“ be it future customers, prospective clients, potential business partners or fans â€“ we need to take a moment and remember that both old and new, serve their purpose.

Phil…yes this is quite the gathering place for SBB’ers to hang. Yaro knew who his target market was…kind of like “if you build it they will come”, and they have!

Stuart~ you are welcome for the links…thank YOU for getting my mind buzzing about this conversation. I can definitley see how blogging HAS such a profound impact on what happens with the growth of our businesses.

Thanks for contributing to the conversation,

Thanks for the link and the comments. You close with a great point.

Cool peeps hanging out here. Looks like a great place Yaro built, and that Kam is now happily habitating. I’ll be sticking around here with all the relationship geeks and other cool cats.

Contagious is the best way to describe Mike Sansone. And Liz, Kirsten, Troy, and the rest of the party can’t be far behind!

Kirsten,

Funny…it’s like that whole 6 degrees of seperation thing huh? I saw Troy’s stuff on your site, then he linked about this post, and then there’s Phil and Liz and too many other cool cats hanging around.

Good to see you here too. Thanks for the kind words about my ranting and raving, the feedback helps to know what works for different people.

Waving at you from the center of the blogosphere,
Kam

Hey Kam!
How fun to see some familiar faces over here! You are so right about the power of relationship building with blogging! Phil and Liz are 2 of the most connected and great people I have found. I feel fortunate to have connected with them. I can’t wait to see you over at Liz’s place!

I am so excited to hear about the opportunities that are coming your way… I can’t wait to read your book! Your writing is so fabulous!

Hey Mike~

Thank YOU for that great blogroll…I’ll certainly find lots of juicy stuff to write about using the resources you’ve pulled together in one place. I LOVE it!

And I dig “Stay contagious”…I’m gonna borrow that for sure…

Hiya Kammie! Thanks for digging around the gold mine. There’s still more to add – like this one AND Passion and Purpose (how have I been so blind to miss that!) Stay contagious, Mike

Excellent article Kam. You have put together quite nicely how we can all be relationship geeks. It’s work, but it’s SO worth it!

And the link love is *always* appreciated!

No problem on the case of mistaken identity!

The reason I mention it, is that it’s hard to develop relationships if we think we’re talking to someone else. Just want to make sure you’ll recognize me when I top by and wave hello at your place!

I still am fascinated with communications and how even with all this technology, it still comes down to the who, what, where, when, why and how…funny, huh?

Anyway, yes connection and creating relationships is the key…

Hey Kammie K.: I’m so sorry, confused was I. I need to thank YOU for this great post. Indeed connecting with fellow marketers and markets is the #1 value I find through blogging (but there are many other points of value, too).

Keep the great posts coming. Glad I know of your blog…what a treat to have many writers contributing good posts.

Hey CK…

Yaro didn’t actually write this post.

I did!! Kammie K. here…I left a note for Troy over at Orbit, as he thought it was Yaro too!! I know it’s kinda confusing over here till we change the format and you all can “see ” that there are actually several of us writing here.

But THANK you for stopping by and leaving a comment. Again reinforcing the whole article and the point of expanding our network and community, thus deepening our circles of influence!

I’ll be sure and leave a comment on that post on your blog too.

Kammie K.

Yaro: Thanks for referencing my post to which I had so many interesting responses–and what a terrific way to find out about your fabulous blog, too!

I’ve only been blogging for 6 months and I’m amazed at how many advancing people I’ve met and the lessons they have so generously imparted to me in so short a timeframe. Not only is it the best way to brand one’s company or self, it’s tremendously enjoyable to meet such an eclectic range of smart, passionate people.

Yep, I’m hooked .

Do make sure and weigh in on my question at that post, I’m looking to do some interesting things with the results and would love your “voice in”.

Great “meeting” you and again, great post.

Hey Tony~

Thanks for being a good neighbor and stopping by to say hello.

I dig this neighborhood a lot. Sometimes I call it a virtual sandbox or playground. Whatever you call it, it’s good fun and a great way to grow your community of fans and friends!

See you round the monkey bars soon…

Awesome post Kammie. One of the things I’m discovering about the blogging community is the true sense of kinship that abounds. One of my readers and a fellow blogger emailed me to “meet her neighbor.” I like the analogy of a big neighborhood. I think it fits well.

Thanks for the great read.
