4 Online Networking Hacks to Accelerate your Visibility and Value Both

Nowadays, people live two lives: offline and online. Having a physical and virtual presence on social media opens a multitude of opportunities for you. A single person can have a profound impact on your career, life, and business even if you know them only a little bit.

Our lives are already busy with daily work, family, and friends (and maybe a little time for ourselves too!), so building a strong network can be challenging. It only takes a little to make a big difference. Quality and consistency are the keys.

The whole idea of online networking still confuses many people. They do not know how to utilize it or how to get value from it. When it comes to networking online, it's not much different from networking offline.

Let's take an example of offline networking

It is common to see the same person walking the aisles of the grocery store. You frequently cross paths at your favorite restaurants. You smile and nod at first, then go about your business.

Your recognition of the person begins to increase as you get to know their face, body type, style, and gate. Even though you've never spoken, you begin to prepare for the interaction as they walk toward you. Naturally, you'll start sharing ideas about food, recipes, and community events.

And that's the gateway to an offline relationship.

Now let's take an example of online networking

You often see the same person posting interesting articles, commenting, and intelligently participating in online discussions on one of your favorite social media platforms. It's not uncommon for you to cross paths online as you both enjoy the same kind of information and stories. Your attention is initially drawn to other things.

But soon, the picture and name of the person become familiar to you. Despite never speaking one-on-one, you start a conversation by sending a private message even though you have never spoken with them before.

You've just stepped into a more meaningful relationship.

We bet these 4 online networking hacks will accelerate your visibility and value both in days.

1. Network Smartly & Be Selective: Know what type of people you want in your network. For instance, it would be wise to reach out to local women if you sell makeup locally. Similarly, if you sell HR technology, you should connect with HR professionals.
2. Share and Comment on Relevant Articles: Whenever you surf the Internet, keep an eye out for articles or information that might be of interest to your network. Share and/or comment when you find something good. LinkedIn is the best place to do that. All social networks have a similar sharing and commenting process.

1. Write Your Own Articles: To increase your influence and become a thought leader in your industry, you should write your articles yourself. This way you will be able to demonstrate your thoughts coherently and resonate with the like-minded network more effectively.
2. Create and Share Likeable Types of Content. Writing a high-quality blog article can be a challenging task. Be sure to put in your sincerest effort and always go above and beyond. You can really stand out if you create more in-depth, content-rich content.
