Business Networking....

Successful Business Networking can be very important in the proccess of expanding yourself and your business. Networking has a to do with our topic, "Who you know."

At businessknowhow.com there's a list of 10 tips successful business networking. Here a few of my favorite out of the ten;

#3. Visit as many groups as possible that spark your interest.

#6. Become known as a powerful resource for others.

#7. Have a clear understanding of what you do and why, for whom, and what makes your doing it special.

#10. Call those you meet who may benefit from what you do and vice versa.

Is job-hunting success about WHO you know, or WHAT you know?

I believe that job-hunting success comes from both WHAT you know and WHO you know. Depending on the job, knowing the right people can be all that you need to get the job. On the other hand, with some jobs no matter who you know you have to have a certain amount of knowledge or experience to get the job.

If it is WHAT you need to know to get a job, there are hundreds of places to get that knowledge and experience. (High school, college, work experience, service...etc)

If is WHO you need to know to get a job, you should start networking now. Networking is the key to finding a good job. Start figuring out how to know the "right people" that can "hook you up."

..business..blogging..

Professional business blogging is an ever-rising tool for today's businesses. I find it completely fastenating to use Google's blog search found at GoogleBlogSearch.
It was amazing to me how many businesses have blogs that are so full of useful information.

While using Google's blog search, one professional blog in particular caught my eye. Omnivoracious'AmazonBlog. I feel this blog is a very useful tool for Amazon. It is a blog written by the Amazon staff members giving their opinions and input on different books, authors and subjects. If anyone was curious about a book sold on Amazon, this blog would be a great resource for them.

The most recent post on this blog talks about "Oprah's New Pick". The post gives a summary and the nitty-gritty details of Oprah's recommended book, Say You're One of Them, by Uwem Akpan. This is a great resource for Amazon to promote readers to buy this Oprah recommended book from their website.

As Amazon's blog exemplifies, professional business blogging can be a great tool for both newly developing companies as well as fully developed companies to get their name and their business out on the web.

What professional blogs can do for businesses.....

Professional blogging is a great communication tool for businesses. It is an increasingly popular way to share a business with the world. Businesses create blogs in order to let everyone know who they are and what they are all about. Blogs are a great way to broadcast announcements concerning a businesses upcoming events or accomplishments. They are also a great way to give background information either on the company as a whole, or on their individual employees. If a company has things for sale, a professional blog can also be a great way to advertise your products.

One of my favorite examples of a business blog is sweetyesterdaysphotos. This is a blog that I find to be perfect for this woman's business. She uses her professional business blog to show off her photography, advertise promotions, and schedule appointments. I think this blog is a great way for her to promote business.
