Get informed about effective online networking

Having a proper Social Media Strategy is essential if you want to connect to your clients in a way that adds Value to your business these days. First you need to be 'found' online and after that, you need to be able to search and interact with the right people online avoiding those that just cost you time and don't add any Value to your real life business goals.

The internet is changing rapidly, it is no longer a place where you just have 'a website' and hope that the clients will find it, it now has reached our TV's, set top boxes, game-computers, videos, navigation hardware, etc. through widgets which form the new internet. Your clients want to be served anywhere on every platform using their favorite widgets on their favorite networking portal. Since you don't have the time to use and manage all those thousands of tools and portals, you will quickly notice that you need a web 2.0 and 3.0 strategy aggregating everything into manageable centralized actions.

Knowing about strategies in RSS streams, widgets, tweets, instant (video / audio) messaging and networking portals makes the difference. Not just by using the 'tools' but by doing it in a targeted manner in a 'targeted way':

You need to know 'where and how' to find the right people with a minimum of time and effort spend online which leaves you a maximum of time with valued people in real life business.

For anyone or any company starting an online strategy it is recommended to begin with the novice course. This course gives you a general impression on what is going on in the rapidly changing world of Web 2.0. It will answer the question: what is important to me and my company? What do I need to do to form a feasible online strategy? How can I reach my customers online in an easy way, without spending too much time.

Focus points:

- Using social networks in general
- How to create an effective Profile
- Using and making quantity and quality networks
- How to create a network on e.g. LinkedIn (I also give courses on how to use LinkedIn
or Twitter effectively)
- Evolution from web 1.0 to web 2.0 online strategies
- Make your (company) profile visible for search engines such as Google
- Using easy deep search tools (not Google but targeted searches) for online sourcing

Recent Achievement:
The Power and Tools of OpenNetworkers.info is well recognized by the Mashable.com review:


7. Open Networkers

Open Networkers has over 5,000 members who are actively (and professionally) networking. The big differentiator with this community is the sheer amount of tools you have, such as their own toolbar, a website creator, gadgets and widgets, and a collection of RSS feeds in the site you can subscribe to. On the main page, you have your typical blog post collection and discussion threads, but also a FriendFeed (FriendFeed reviews) syndication of the latest web 2.0 developments. They have their own networking handbooks and a lot more.
