1 Identify your goals and values

Before you start reaching out to other professionals, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and what you can offer. Do you want to find a mentor, a partner, a client, or a friend? Do you want to learn a new skill, get feedback, share your expertise, or explore new opportunities? Do you want to join a community, a project, or a cause? Having specific and realistic goals and values will help you narrow down your target audience, craft your personal brand, and communicate your purpose.

To collaborate and network with other professionals, you need to use your competence and professionalism to build and maintain positive and meaningful connections with peers. Consider participating in online or offline forums, groups, or events related to your field or industry to stay connected.

2 Research and connect

Once you have identified your goals and values, you need to do some research and find out where and how you can connect with other professionals who share them. You can use online platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, or Medium to follow, like, comment, or message people who interest you. You can also join groups, forums, or newsletters related to your field or niche. You can also attend events, webinars, or workshops where you can meet and interact with other professionals in real time. When you connect with someone, be respectful, polite, and genuine. Introduce yourself briefly, explain why you are interested in them, and ask them a relevant question or offer them some value.

I would definitely recommend LinkedIn to establish new connections with fellow professionals, although sometimes they do not respond. In general, I had a very good experience and managed to connect without any problems, but would not suggest using messages.

3 Follow up and engage

After you make a connection, you need to follow up and engage with them regularly to build trust and rapport. You can send them a thank-you note, a feedback, a recommendation, or a resource that might benefit them. You can also invite them to a more personal conversation via phone, video call, or email. You can also share your work, ideas, or insights with them and ask for their opinions or suggestions. The key is to show interest, appreciation, and curiosity, and to provide value and support.

I feel that so many people fail to do this after connecting. You'll have a better chance of being remembered when you send a thank-you note or a personal message from you. In this note, always include a detail about THEM first, how their latest article was insightful or how curious you are about the topic they are experts in. We often forget that we are naturally drawn to people who are genuinely curious about us.

Following up and engaging regularly is challenging in some cases, and takes a lot of time and consideration, but pays off in the long run.

4 Collaborate and co-create

Once you have established a solid relationship with other professionals, you can explore ways to collaborate and co-create with them. You can join or initiate a project, a challenge, or a campaign that aligns with your goals and values. You can also co-author a blog post, a podcast, or a presentation that showcases your expertise and perspectives. You can also refer, endorse, or promote each other's work or services. Collaborating and co-creating with other professionals will help you enhance your skills, expand your network, and increase your visibility.

5 Give back and pay forward

Networking and collaboration are not only about getting what you want, but also about giving back and paying forward. You can give back by acknowledging, thanking, or rewarding the professionals who have helped you along the way. You can also pay forward by mentoring, coaching, or introducing other professionals who are looking for guidance, advice, or opportunities. Giving back and paying forward will help you strengthen your relationships, build your reputation, and make a positive impact.

Being helpful and friendly is a must, because this is something you expect from others, too. Sharing is caring - keep this in mind all the time.

Paying it forward definitely helps and these days this is the place people lack at the most. One has to realise that even simple small gestures of giving an advice or guiding someone through a situation makes a lot of impact for the receiver, which definitely becomes a key in building reputation.

6 Keep learning and improving

Networking and collaboration are not one-time activities, but ongoing processes that require constant learning and improvement. You need to keep updating your goals and values, researching and connecting with new professionals, following up and engaging with existing ones, collaborating and co-creating with diverse ones, giving back and paying forward to supportive ones, and keep learning and improving your communication skills. Networking and collaboration are not only about what you know or who you know, but also about how you communicate and relate with others.

Linkedin is a good place to do this. I have made a point to try to connect with at least 10 contacts on a weekly basis, comment on posts or reach out with a direct message if I am curious about what they do. Most people are surprised when you do this of course, which only goes to show how much people don't do it.

Keep in mind we are all connected and you are only 6 or less people away from anyone on this planet (6 degrees of separation).
